This list flags the alumni-guided walks that do, the open-top bus routes that suit a first hour in the city, and the coach days that pair Oxford with Stratford-upon-Avon or the Cotswolds, with prices and exactly which entries are included.

“Rowan and Jeton really made it special! Jeton was kind, respectful, and an excellent driver. Rowan is, without a doubt, the absolute best tour guide I’ve ever heard. She was extremely knowledgable, funny in many ways, kept our attention the entire day and was amazing on trivial and historical tidbits. Rowan’s delivery and facial expression coupled with her vocal inflections was superb beyond superb!! Carrie French Thompson from GA - USA. (The three older ladies). Rowan also showed compassion for my dear cousin who had knee surgery and was struggling to keep up.”
One long London day with Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford. Coach transfers, guided stops, and a fast but memorable route.
“The organization of the tour was not ideal. The order of sightseeing was different than described in online information, causing the need for more driving and leaving less time for exploring. Our tour felt very rushed, there was not nearly enough time given to enjoy Stonehenge and to see the Windsor Castle (there was 70 min total for State Rooms, St George Cathedral, castle grounds, and 15 min walk back to the bus). We spent most of the day riding on the bus. Upon returning to London we were dropped off far from the pickup place (Victoria station) which was very inconvenient.”

Downton Abbey sites, Oxford spires, and a real inside look at Highclere Castle from London on a 10-hour coach tour.
“We took this tour on our last day in London, and it was the highlight of our visit to England. We are big Downton Abbey and Endeavor fans so this tour was perfect for us. Our guide (Carol) was extremely knowledgeable about everything Oxford and Downton. Our bus driver (Christian) was excellent too. Loved the walk through the little town of Bampton (Downton). Of course the highlight was going inside Highclere Castle. So beautiful and a great mix of the "real world" and the "fictional world". We recommend this for Downton Abbey fans as well as anyone interested in the history of the great estates. Two thumbs up!”
