About this experience

This full-day trip takes you out of London and into four of England's best-known destinations, starting with a guided walking tour of Oxford. You'll wander the cobbled lanes and college courtyards where students from C.S. Lewis to Bill Clinton once studied, and step inside the 13th-century University Church of St Mary the Virgin, one of the oldest surviving buildings tied to the university.

From Oxford, the route cuts through the Cotswolds, giving you a chance to take in rolling countryside, stone-built villages, and market towns from the comfort of the coach. The day continues in Stratford-upon-Avon, where you'll have free time to explore the market town where William Shakespeare was born, with the option to visit his half-timbered birthplace house.

The day finishes at Warwick Castle, depending on the ticket option you choose. Inside, a medieval host greets visitors and introduces the castle's history, while the State Rooms reveal how a Victorian party would have been staged within its walls. It's a day that moves from university spires to countryside views to medieval battlements, all without leaving the driving to yourself.

What to expect

The day begins with departure from London, heading first to Oxford for a guided walking tour of the university town's courtyards, alleyways, and squares, including entry to the University Church of St Mary the Virgin. From there, the coach drives through the Cotswolds, passing stone villages and countryside scenery on the way to Stratford-upon-Avon, where you'll have free time to wander the market town and, depending on your ticket, visit Shakespeare's Birthplace.

The final stop is Warwick Castle, where a medieval host welcomes visitors and gives an introduction to the site's history before you explore the State Rooms and grounds at your own pace. The day combines guided walking with free time and coach travel between locations, covering Oxford, the Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Warwick Castle before returning to London.

Things to note

  • Wear comfortable walking shoes for the Oxford guided tour and cobbled streets
  • Bring a layer or light jacket, as much of the day involves being outdoors between sites
  • Check which ticket option you've booked, as Warwick Castle and Shakespeare's Birthplace entry are add-ons on some tickets
  • Tours are offered in both English and Spanish, so confirm the language of your ticket before booking
  • Bring a camera for the Cotswolds countryside views from the coach
  • Pack snacks or a bottle of water for the day, since travel time between stops can be lengthy
