Loved the itinerary and our guide! Glad we were able to visit Blenheim Palace. Too bad that the exhibition detracted from the history and ambiance of the palace. Our other stops were enjoyable!!

Had plenty of time to visit Blenheim Palace and Cotswolds. We did run out of time during the tour to see Downton Abbey Village (only 30 minutes).

Walking through the village to shop, have a pastie, and feed the ducks by the water. Finding leather goods, a wool sweater, fabric, and jewelry while shopping in the village. Seeing so many beautiful vistas at Blenheim Palace. And enjoying our guide’s knowledge of Downton Abbey and Doctor Who.

Maria, our guide, was outstanding! Her narration throughout the tour brought each place to life. The general information she provided as we traveled between stops was interesting. Great guide and driver!

Great day trip from London. Blenheim Castle was amazing and the gardens were superb. We had a beautiful day and sun was shining.
Our guide Ursula was terrific and gave us a lot of good information which made it all the more interesting. Downton Abbey village was a bit underwhelming to be honest .

Our guide and bus driver were wonderful. My review is not a reflection of the tour company. The Palace is currently being used to display fashion so all the furniture talked about in the tour and shown in images is missing. The fashion mannequins take over the entire experience in an awful way. This show goes on until June I believe. The village of Downton doesn’t make it worthwhile to do this tour as the bulk of time is in the palace. I’d highly recommend choosing a different experience with the Cotswolds if that’s what you’re interested in seeing. We were very disappointed for the money we spent.
