Chris guide was very clear and informative and driver Greg very good, Lovely day even I thought we would visit the Dounton abbey manor house. But to see the village where filming took place was lovely, very good day

This was our second time doing this tour. A early start 9am. This time as in opposite direction with Blenheim palace being first. We went to the things we had missed last time. We went to the cafe and enjoyed some Victorian Sponge and hot chocolate, delicious. We then went to Bourton on the Water where we grabbed a sausage roll and a pastie and walked while we ate our lunch. There was not enough time to sit down in a cafe. We took lots of photos and explored all the stores. We then returned to the bus and went to Burford where we had a tour of the sites for Downtown Abbey filming.
Back to London after a long but very enjoyable day. The bus trip through the Cotswold countryside was beautiful.

The Churchill estate was vast and breathtaking.
The shopping Village had some real treasures, especially the motor exhibition.
Finally the Downton Abbey church and Village took me back to the films/TV. Of course I wanted more but thats because it was all very breathtaking. Loved it all. Manu and Jerry are the best!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We were able to sit back in the coach and enjoy the scenery. Andy gave a very detailed commentary and his knowledge is extraordinary. Blenheim Palace certainly exceeded our expectations, it was stunning.

Very disappointing the first thing the tour director said no such thing as downtown abby road we are not going there. Very misleading as that is why I booked this tour. Once again my booking had no entrance to Blenheim. We were able to go as the nice tour director got me in. Dont count on Viator as they told me once again all is set. Admission to all included. Will never use them again or reccomend them!

It is a very rushed tour of the Cotswolds and the Downton Abbey village. We had two hours at Blenheim Palace, but only enough time to have lunch in the Cotswolds and 40 minutes in the Downton Abbey village. It is a 10 hour day and 7 hours are on the bus. I would suggest tours that focus on two locations so you can enjoy the location.
