Began with fabulous guide - Manon. Courteous and knowledgeable- good humor. Driver Aaron - punctual and good safe driving. On way back gave us convenient en route stops to disembark. Manon went beyond by guiding us on best spots for photos. Warwick castle - Stratford sneaks pear center and Oxford - crammed but relaxing trip.

Countryside Day Tour
Lisa_B, June 2023
Warwick Castle was amazing, I’d go back. The tour guide was lovey, but it was a bilingual tour-her primary language Spanish-so unfortunately it was very hard to understand a lot of what she was saying. That’s why I have it a 4 not a 5. I’d refuse a bilingual tour in future.
Fun Overview of Fascinating Places
Stanford_B, June 2023
Tour guide Manon and coach driver Dan were both wonderful. Manon was extremely professional and personable, giving an entertaining and interesting commentary on each stop and along the way.
Great experience!

We had Katia as our guide, and she was amazing! So knowledgable and genuinely was interested in making sure her guests were comfortable. Went above and beyond. The drive was very smooth and enjoyable thanks to our driver, Kevin. The only thing is, I wish we had even half an hour more at Warwick Castle, but that is not something our tour guide can control. All in all, a great tour, and I would highly recommend!
Great trip but too short in Oxford
ZanePaul_B, June 2023
Loved Warwick Castle. Wish there was more time to explore Oxford but perfect amount of time in Stratford
Great tour and very full day
Cindy_W, June 2023
Fabulous guide, Catia, on Evans Evans. So knowledgeable and helpful everywhere we went.
Each place we visited had a very small amount of free time. Our guide was a gem. It was a lot packed into one day.

was "in it" for Stratford
Vicki_G, June 2023
Usually I go on a tour b/c I am interested in one of the places and other ones are included, usually resulting in not enough time in the one I really wanted to see. In this case, Stratford was underwhelming and I was surprised by Warwick Castle! Though it's a bit of a theme park, it is a stunning castle and grounds. Oxford needed more time, I just wasn't prepared. The guide Patricia was nice and knew a lot, once you get used to her accent (Spanish?) and Gordon, the driver, was not an aggressive driver and I felt comfortable that we would get back to London safely.
Our guide Manon knew her...
crseng, June 2023
Our guide Manon knew her stuff! She pointed a lot of interest eating buildings, told facts about the country side and people. Manon was very helpful pointing out places to sit as we have knee troubles
We missed the coach at Shakespeare town.
Suya_C, June 2023
This is one of the worst experiences we’ve ever had. The entrance to Warwick castle is very expensive we only allowed less than two hours to explore. The second stop is Shakespeare town. We ended up miss our bus because we probably misunderstood the guides instructions. So not able to visit Oxford for this trip. Evan and Evan’s services are not so helpful getting us back to London, Items left in the coach were not able to retrieve back to us.
Interesting Places
Joe_D, June 2023
All sites were interesting and guide and driver did a good job. Only suggestion would be to include a 30 minute lunch break at Warwick Castle or Stratford.
3 beautiful unique places covered in one day
Keerthi_H, May 2023
It was my first castle visit and it was amazing to see Warwick castle.
Every part of the world most students studies about Shakespeare plays and i am one of them and it made more meaning to visit his house from where he use to write.
Oxford university what to say millions of kids dream college and i am one of them and never made it to classroom but happy that i made it to university campus and it inspired my son that he decided to apply next year along with other colleges.
Last but not least want to add our tour Guide Mannon was very knowledgeable person and she explained very clearly throughout the trip and round of applause to driver Aaron who made the drive smooth and sailing.
Response from Host, June 2023

We hope to see you again on another one of our tours!
