The trip on the rail was enjoyable and easy to manage. Warwick Castle was beautiful and enjoyable. The grounds are gorgeous . The only reason I put good instead of excellent was the disappointment in the dungeon tour. Many years ago, we visited and were able to observe the dungeons the way they were. We were actually able to feel the oppression. Now it's more like a fun house with the actors.

Comfortable bus. Driver Patrick and guide Chrissie friendly and Chrissie knew a lot about all the sights. Everything was well organized. Despite not being able to go to Oxford due to a blowout on the highway. Fortunately Patrick was able to stop the bus on an emergency lane. Waiting for new transportation took time and it was too late to go to Oxford. Even so, we were still on the road for 11 hours. We were to receive a refund from the bus company. This was also arranged the same day. Too bad v Oxford, can happen and handled well and quickly.

A packed day out, starting on time and well organized from Victoria Coach Station. Richard scored with charm, wit and excellent knowledge. All in all - two of the three destinations would be completely sufficient, as otherwise it would be very stressful and there would be hardly any time to take a closer look at one or the other (e.g. @ Windsor - State Apartments and Cape Town). @ Windsor - the state apartments and the chapel can hardly be visited in the short time available - it's more like running through).

Ana spoke both in Spanish and English to keep the participants engaged throughout the day. Ana added in humor and made us laugh. She is a gem. I would certainly go on another tour with Anna and Gary!

Liked Stonehenge because we had time to circle the stones and not worry the coach would leave without us. No time to visit shop😢 The rest of the tour was very challenging. She walked so fast we couldn't keep up if we were delayed by foot or car traffic. Felt so rushed to get back to coach on time didn't really see Windsor castle Missed the Oxford tour as we could see the guide or hear her after we were delayed by traffic. Overall the tour was most unsatisfactory . The itinerary didn't include note about running to keep up. Sorry can t not recommend your services

It was a very good experience, the transportation was excellent. Robert was an excellent guide, very cordial, even told us during the trip a lot of information about the places we were passing through, all very well organized and synchronized. It would have been nice to spend more time in Windsor because it is worth it, but it is understandable that the times are according to the development of the day, I recommend it!

Ticketing was fine but do take out the bit about printing the ticket. Most people are travelling. Mel, the guide was great. A real feature. I do think adding the Cotswold into the advertising was false as all we saw was a couple of thatched houses as we sped by. Overall, a pretty good day.

The actual trip was great and the guide was fantastic. But on the "headout" webpage you advertised this tour as "cotswold" but it did not stop at any of the villages. Althou Oxford and Stratford upon Avon are within the cotswold location, your advert was misleading to state "cotswold" in the tour and this should be made clearer.

Best time to take a day trip from London to Oxford
- Optimal weather: Oxford is beautiful year-round, but the best time to visit is during spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant, and the city is less crowded.
- Visitor volume: April to August is the peak season, and also when Oxford sees the most crowds. If you're traveling on your own, it’s best to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Organized tours typically follow set schedules, so you might encounter fewer crowds during weekday visits.

We had a great time with Catya and Greg on our trip to Costewolds (Warwick Castle, Stratford upon Avon, and Oxford). Catya was very knowledgeable about the place and she was very kind and considerate to all of us. Greg also kept us safe as he drove us safely throughout the tour. Thank you for a safe, fun and memorable trip!

I have a fond relationship with castles, I love to explore them and try to imagine how it must of felt to live so long ago. The exercise up and down the walls and turrets was fantastic with rewarding views while catching one's breath. Such a complete Castle with a great show out by the water. I absolutely loved it. Thankyou for the experience ❤️

The trip on the rail was enjoyable and easy to manage. Warwick Castle was beautiful and enjoyable. The grounds are gorgeous . The only reason I put good instead of excellent was the disappointment in the dungeon tour. Many years ago, we visited and were able to observe the dungeons the way they were. We were actually able to feel the oppression. Now it's more like a fun house with the actors.
