Itinerary
Walking tour of Oxford. Enjoy the opulence of Oxford! Renowned for over 900 years as a centre of academic excellence, follow in the footsteps of its famous students; from Bill Clinton to Lewis Carroll and C.S. Lewis. Uncover the university town of Oxford at a leisurely pace and take in the Bodleian Library and the captivating college courtyards on your travels. Be guided through unspoiled narrow alleys and ancient squares of the historic town and view the many colleges, notably Christ Church, the film location for the Harry Potter movies.
Pass by: The tour drives through the Cotswolds, a charming blend of breathtaking natural beauty, bustling market towns and sleepy villages.
Shakespeare’s Stratford-Upon-Avon. Stratford is a market town with a difference. Bask in the birthplace of arguably the world's greatest writer, William Shakespeare, situated on the outskirts of the Forest of Arden. See Shakespeare's Birthplace - the half timbered house where he was born, to gain a fascinating insight into his childhood. You will view Shakespeare's birthplace from the outside, as it is closed for the holiday.
Be part of Britain’s greatest Medieval experience! Deep in the heart of Warwick Castle, the Great Hall becomes a hive of activity! Immerse yourself in battle preparations and feel the weight of a medieval sword. Become a soldier - try on a battle helmet for size! Visit the spectacular State Rooms and feast your eyes on Victorian party preparations. (Entrance to Warwick Castle Dungeon is not included in this tour).

Traveler reviews
Fantastic tour
I enjoyed the tour but for me it would be better of I could stay more time in each place.
Amazing tour
Amazing tour Stefan is a great guide have mane fun facts about every topic and always was aware of do his best with the open things on the road (was a holiday so not many things was opened)
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.
