Overall a day well spent

Overall a very well managed tour. Departure right on time and all stops were managed very well. Our guide Mr Oliver was funny and knowledgeable! Tour mention’s Cotswolds but it’s just a ride through and no stops!

Top day trip

Excellent day trip from London. Enjoyed beautiful Warwick Castle and beautiful Stratford. In the late afternoon we took a nice walk in the centre of Oxford past several beautiful buildings of the university. We had a very friendly and helpful guide (Ashley) and good driver (Oscar) Highly recommended for those going to London!

A fun day trip to Warwick, Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon

My adult son and I took this day trip during our week in London. It was well organized. Golden tours sent me texts and updates prior to the trip, and they have their own bus stop (address was in Google Maps) near Victoria station, which helped us find the start point. We rode in a full size air conditioned tour bus with usb ports for phone charging. Our guide Oliver was knowledgeable and friendly. The tour description is very accurate. This drives through the Cotswolds but only stops at Oxford, Stratford and Warwick Castle. I recommend that you buy the entry to Warwick castle option (at least). That is worth the admission. The castle is well maintained and there is a lot to see. It was our favorite stop. I would do this again. We also took the tour of Shakespeare’s birthplace. It was interesting to see how they lived and get a glimpse of his father’s glove making shop. If you skip that tour there is plenty to see in the town (depending upon your preferences).

Finally a "real" castle!

This was a great way to see 3 big items on our list! Warwick Castle was the favorite stop for us, especially my daughter. We had already been to Buckingham and Windsor, but this castle was our favorite. Her exact words were,'"finally! A castle that looks like a REAL castle!" Our guide was full of so much interesting information and she was hilarious!
