Tour and guide were great. Would recommend and do again. The minibus was a sardine can experience. I am on the short side and my knees were pressed up against the seat in front. My wife had to swivel her knees out into the aisle for comfort.

Rory and Nick were fun to spend the day with. Rory was very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of filming Downton Abbey

The guide was great, Wayne I think. He fed us a constant stream of knowledge while we headed to Bampton and Highclere. I would highly recommend this tour, well worth the price.

We were so lucky to visit Highclere on this gorgeous fall day when the festival was occurring. In spite of the overly expensive cab ride from the Newbury train station (15 minutes @£40 each way, we were treated to a tour of Highclere, the setting for the PBS Downton Abbey. The castle is actually someone’s home, and exactly like to series. It was lovely and an unexpected treat.

We attended the Highclere Castle Movie themed event In Sept 2023 and had a most wonderful experience. Upon our arrival was a beautiful vintage carousel surrounded by vast and immaculate grounds. The tour was wonderful with the added bonus of the Downton Abbey memorabilia and clothing made it that much more magical. We ordered the picnic lunch for 4 in advance and were so pleased with the beautiful presentation and quality of the food. We dined under a beautifully decorated open air tent amongst generous floral arrangements and beautifully laid table scapes. Much attention to detail throughout. A lovely dance floor along side a full orchestra with professional singers and dancers entertained and instructed the audience on the various vintage dance routines. Mrs Carnarvon was in attendance and her presence demonstrated the sincerity and care that the Carnarvon family have. We greatly appreciate all that was shared with us and much appreciate their generosity and dedication.

The conversation with the tour guide to and from the site was very good. He was really good and knew all about Downton Abbey. This tour was the highlight of our 9 days in London.

Very well managed excursion, our guide was very friendly and shared with us his passion for the series. The idea of the binder of photographs from the series in the village of Bampton is a good one.
