This ancient market town is perhaps most famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare, widely regarded to be the greatest writer in English literature and the world's greatest ever dramatist. You'll have the option to visit the 16th-century half-timbered house where Shakespeare was born in 1564 and grew up. Enjoy a fascinating insight into tales of his family life and admire rare artefacts on displays from the Shakespeare Trust's world-class collections.
Our final stop, also known as 'The City of Dreaming Spires', is the UK's most famous university town and home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world, the University of Oxford. Enjoy a walking tour through the city with your expert guide, who will bring the charm and history of this incredible city to life. Oxford is the only place in the country where you will find examples of every architectural period going as far back as Saxon times. Little surprise, then, that this beautiful city has been the filming location for countless movies and TV series over the years, including the Harry Potter film series. As you wander its cobbled streets with your guide, you will see sights including Bridge of Sighs, Trinity College, the Ashmolean Museum and The Sheldonian Theatre.
Covering almost 800 square miles and no fewer than five English counties, the Cotswolds are the single largest designated Area of Natural Beauty in the UK. Get your cameras at the ready as we drive through the unremittingly pretty countryside on our way to our next destination. Please note that we do not stop any of villages in the Cotswolds.
Spent the day here in the rain and we loved every minute. Jay the archer was amazing as we're all the staff and you must see the falconry show... It is the most amazing thing to see.
Highly recommend! Great tour to see, learn and experience great history. Stratford upon Avon, Warwick Castle and Oxford were simply amazing experiences. Tour guide was the best!!
Excellent trip. Well worth the time and money. Great way to learn about the sites visited as well as English history while enroute. Ride was comfortable and Shiela is an excellent guide with a plethora of information to share. Highly recommend.
Brilliant experience. Vish was a fantastic driver and Sheila was an absolutely superb guide. The variety and amount of experience was excellent, and this was a great way to see as many sights as we did in a single day. I highly suggest asking for the guide team we had today.
Good way to spend a day in England .
Lovely tour with Sheila!! Very knowledgeable and easy to follow! Highly recommend!
Warwick castle is like Disney land. Stratford is not worth it. Tourist trap. Not long enough stop to get food. The pressure to be at the bus is beyond stressful. The guide said he will leave you. 10 minute window to be at the stop. Oxford is also a bust. Nothing one could do on their own. Once again no time to get food. Cotswold should not even be mentioned in the description for part of the tour , they are only driving through a small part of it to get to Oxford. Don’t waste your time with this tour.
Fantastic day, led by Godfrey, incredibly informative without straying into the realms of being too dry. Lucius handled the driving in a wonderful way, never once did I feel uncomfortable. overall a 5 star experience, definitely looking forward to booking again.
Excellent tour with Angela and Gregory to Warwick Castle, Stratford upon Avon, and Oxford with a picturesque drive via the Cotswolds. The tour was super interesting with all the knowledge Angela has of English history. I recommend Evan Evan’s tours without reservation. Well, be sure to reserve in advance though. Every part of this tour was a treat. Gregory drove us safely through the countryside and both hosts were great.
Angela was a wealth of information giving historical information during the coach ride and through the walking tour. Greg was excellent at navigating some of the tight areas we needed to go through while providing a smooth ride to our destinations.
Angela’s detailing on English history through the tour made it thoroughly fascinating & enjoyable. Thank you
Guide is giving good description and good advice and driver is on time and drive good
Great service , polite guide and safe trip with good drivers
We had an awesome trip to the Warwick Castle and grounds and then on to Shakespear's home town and on to Oxford and all of the countryside in between I sadly had a bit of a health issue and requested to remain on the bus while the group toured Oxford. I felt horrible about missing that opportunity but the guide and driver were very thoughtful and caring and let me just sit and start to get better. NEVER had that happen before but all of the late nights, early morning, time change and lack of sleep got the better of me all of a sudden. They were treasures for sure....Saul and driver get the compassionate award.
Our tour was canceled Viator did not notify me of the cancellation. I managed to get on another tour our guide Phil was so knowledgeable and interesting he captivates the passengers. Our driver Pawel was very good. Disappointed our tour was cancelled and not notified.
Excellent! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the places we saw. Highly recommend doing this tour with Robert.
A fabulous tour, providing a taste of everything! Our guide Robert was incredibly knowledgeable. His facts and antidotes made for a lovely day. Our driver did a spot on job navigating and keeping us safe. I highly recommend this tour. Especially if you like to be a bit off the beaten path, not fighting big crowds. And the drive was delightful!
A great tour, our guide Robert was very good, giving us information all along the tour. And so was the driver.
Great fun and a memorable experience. Just made it in time to tour the interior of the castle before closing for a wedding that took place. The few hour stop was Interesting and educational; would recommend the castle for a morning visit., instead of afternoon—
Our guide Pablo was very good. Wish we had a little more time to explore the castle, gift shop and grounds. Also, one brief stop at one of the Cotswolds villages would have been icing on the cake.
Our guide, Anna was amazing, very knowledgeable and funny. Good for history buffs with time to experience Warwick Castle, Shakespeare’s birthplace, and Oxford University. Drive through to see the beautiful Cotwolds.
Anna and Malcolm were fantastic! great tour! I would recommend anyone who wants to see the sites to book it
our guide Anna was the absolute BEST!! She was kind and very knowledgeable! Everything was white on schedule without being pushy she managed to make time for every single person on the bus,to ask what they hope to see to ask what was most important when it was over! I haven't had anybody do that she really is the best of the best thank you! John and Pat Lightfoot
Today’s trip was a wonderful journey through England’s rich history and culture, and Anna made it even more special. We started at Warwick, exploring its magnificent castle and medieval charm. From there, we headed to Stratford-upon-Avon, enjoying the beautiful streets and soaking in the hometown of Shakespeare. We ended the day in Oxford, where the stunning university buildings and timeless atmosphere made for a perfect finish. A well-organized day filled with history, architecture, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommended!
We had a great time exploring these historic sites. Our guide Ana was excellent and had a great sense of humor. Our girls enjoyed the variety of things to do and the kids play area at Warwick Castle. There was a beautiful spot by the Avon River to have lunch, and the amount of knowledge at Oxford was astounding. Malcolm our driver did a great job of getting us in and out of these tight cities.
Great experience. Loved Warwick Castle, SHAKESPEARE’S Birth Place and Oxford. Great sites! Logistics were easy. Our guide Anna was very helpful and personable. She did a nice job balancing the amount of info she presented so that it wasn’t overwhelming but it was also informative. Our driver Marco did a great job. Everything on time.
The experience with Anna (guide) and Marco our driver could not have been better. The pick up location at Victoria Coach Station was very convenient and centrally located. Anna did a great job at getting us through all of the stops even given. How busy it was. The highlights of the trip included Oxford University and The Birth Home of Shakespeare. The castle, while not your traditional castle tour, was still very good and great photo opportunities. I would highly recommend this for people looking to get away from the busy London sites and take in more of the country side. The drive through the Cotswolds was a nice breakout from the tours we experienced. Great job!
Anna was our tour guide for the day, she was very information, helpful and has a lovely personality 👏😁
Not really worth paying for the tour as it amounted to trying to hear the guide in one ear piece while hearing all the traffic and crowd noise in the other as you travel as a large group thru crowded streets. Didn’t see much of Oxford, thought Warwick Castle had more to do with W Churchill, and drive thru Cotswolds in a speeding bus—we saw two thatched cottages. Take a train to Oxford and hire a local tour.
The guide was great! A dapper fellow! Three stops. Warwick. Shakesphere upon Avon. Oxford, and drive through some Cotswolds vilages. The time at Warwick was to short to see anything other than the castle. It is a five minute walk to and from the bus so you have about 1 1/4 to see the castle, which is plenty of time but there is not time to also explore outside down the path or outside. Shakesphere Upon Avon. If you are not interested in seeing Shakesphere's house, graveyard etc. There is not much to see in the surrounding area as the gift shops are sparce and contain the same similar items. Oxford: We did not participate in that tour. Instead went on our own to explore. The Cotswold drive through scenic Cotswolds towns was very nice. I have come to the conclusion that (for me) tour buses are not the way to explore. I do not like being on a tight schedule in places I want to see more of.
The meeting spot was easy to find, the bus was comfortable, our guide Godfrey was knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed every stop on this tour. It was a great experience for our family of 6 (kids ages 10, 13, 16, and 19), exceeding our expectations.
The guide did a great job explaining things and sharing history. The bus driver was fantastic at driving and made the trip feel smooth all the way to each stop.
Had a very lovely time with Godfrey our guide, very knowledgeable and good sense of humor. Jody our bus driver is very skilled and very nice. Highly recommend this tour!!!
On 7th July we went on Warwick Castle, Stratford on Avon and Oxford tour by Evan & Evan’s from London. As expected from Evan’s, the bus and tour itinerary were excellent. Our tour guide Phil was very very knowledgeable about history. I have never seen such expert guide so far. He narrated number of stories from British history with chronology. He even told interesting things about almost everything on our tour. Our driver Wiaslaw was also very careful while driving us on this long journey. We really enjoyed the trip and recommend to all.
There’s lots to do at Warwick Castle. You won’t have time for it all. Stratford upon Avon is a must if you’re a Shakespeare fan, and it’s a cute little town. We didn’t stop in the Cotswolds but drove through, which was fine by me at that point. Oxford is a cool city with plenty to see and do.
You travel a lot to see Warwick Castle, Oxford, and Stratford Upon Avon in one day. My advice to tourists would be to concentrate on a Blenheim Palace and Warwick Castle trip. But-if you are okay with an hour in Oxford and an hour in Stratford, this is the trip for you. You get a taste of three places in one day.
Manon was our guide and she was great. Super knowledgeable and friendly. Quite funny with a soothing voice. We very much enjoyed the whole day despite the heat wave. Bus was very clean and air conditioning was great
Angela was a fantastic guide…we also had her with our Windsor-Stonehenge-Bath trip. This tour is ambitious covering Warwick, Stratford-Avon, Cotswold and Oxford in one day. Well, it was conducted well and went amazingly smooth. Angela was very informative and provided interesting information endlessly as we drove and stopped at our spots. She is very passionate about it and has great knowledge! Mirlan was our driver. Safe driving and always on time. Would definitely recommend!
Smooth, disciplined, professional tour. The guide - Angela hosted the trip very well. The coach was in excdllent condition and Marlon drove it very smoothly. Great experience in overall.
Good content, interesting day trip of more than 10 hours depending on traffic; however, tine and price are worth it.
Nice experience Nice driving by driver
Had a really good time, our guide, Angela, was very warm and knowledgeable. Our driver, Indy was also great!
Amazong experience. Angela was awsome. Very knowledgeable, kept us entertained with historical stories, small tidbits all the way from London to Oxford. She and driver Andy were professional and efficient.
Awesome drive and great sights! Robert has a very nice voice that makes the whole experience even more interesting. I would love to go again.
Great experience! Robert was an excellent guide with a lot of passion and knowledge for English history. Marek, our driver, was kind and got us to our destinations in a safe and timely manner.
Robert was an exceptional tour guide. He was knowledgeable and entertaining, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a smooth and fun experience. Marek was a great driver!
Great day tour! Godfrey, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and fun. Our driver Corey was also great Highly recommend!
The sites visited are pretty and enjoyable. This company is the ONLY one in London that did not cancel any tours on us! This was our 2nd tour with EvanEvans and neither canceled. Can't say the same about either of the two others, but at least Golden didn't cancel 36 hrs before and did so in plenty of time to replace their tour. The other left us leaving London not seeing sites our hearts were set on! 💔 Canceled too late for our schedule to be flexible! Saul was our tour guide.
Had a great enriching trip. Angeline is very knowledgeable, efficient and organized. She shared insight that could not be found in Google search.
Had a great time, Angela and Greg were friendly as and very helpful when I misplaced an item
