Oxford and Stratford
The experience was great, even though the weather was quite terrible. I thought that we were also going to visit the Cotswolds but it was just a drive though actually. Oliver and Mario (tourist guide and pilot) were really nice people.

Good tour for Boxing Day
This was a great trip for boxing day since almost everything else is closed. Warwick Castle was great. But note that Shakespeare's house is not open on boxing day so you can only see the outside. Oxford was nice as well.

It was a successful tour in terms of price/performance
My wife and I participated in the Oxford, Stratford, Warwick Castle tour. We would like to thank our guide Oscar and our driver Kiiran. It was a successful tour in terms of price/performance, the duration could have been a little longer, it would have been better to give an extra 10-15 minutes at the sightseeing spots.
