Beundre de fantastiske detaljer bag portrætterne, gobelinerne og møblerne i de overdådigt udsmykkede State Rooms, som omfatter udsmykkede møbler af Boulle, Savonniere-tæppet og den ikoniske 'Victories'-serie af gobeliner, der fejrer hertugens sejr over 'The Sun King's franske hære' , Ludvig XIV, i slaget ved Blenheim. Nyd en spadseretur gennem de smukt anlagte formelle haver designet af Lancelot 'Capability' Brown og mere end 2.000 hektar parklandskab, eller gå i Sir Winston Churchills fodspor. Besøg hans mest elskede udendørssteder på Blenheim Palaces grund, inklusive stedet, hvor han friede til Clementine Hozier.

The tour guide Cameron was very professional, energetic, and friendly. The way they explained the history and shared the stories was engaging and very interesting. The coach was very comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. The overall experience was excellent.Thanks to the bus driver Gary👍😀
I was very disappointed with this tour, especially given its high rating and the promise of a well-organized experience across such beautiful locations. Firstly, the tour description clearly stated that entry to the palace was included in the price. However, upon arrival we were told to purchase tickets ourselves. This was both confusing and frustrating, as it directly contradicted the advertised information. Secondly, the transport arrangements were extremely poorly managed. After visiting Blenheim, we waited around 20 minutes at the meeting point before being informed that the bus had broken down. We were asked to return 40 minutes later, only for the replacement bus to arrive an additional 30 minutes late. During this time, there was little communication and no visible guide, leaving the group waiting in the heat without updates. As a result of these delays, the planned lunch stop in the Cotswolds was effectively lost. We had very limited time and were forced to rush to find whatever food was available, rather than enjoying the location as intended. This significantly impacted the overall experience. Additionally, the replacement bus did not have WiFi, which was another inconvenience. Overall, the tour was disorganized, poorly communicated, and far from the experience advertised. I would appreciate an explanation, particularly regarding the palace ticket issue, and would expect a refund given the circumstances.
Such a fun tour James was absolutely amazing! Welcoming and very knowledgeable! Highly recommend will definitely go again ☺️
Excellent trip very relaxing and informational. Not rushed at all with plenty of time. Highly recommend.
We chose a tour of the Cotswolds and a castle and honestly they should be chosen separately since there is not even time to eat, if you eat you miss everything since everything is fast, we chose an excursion in Spanish and everything was in English, the guide was very good and very patient
If limited on time and need quick hits of the region, then this tour format fits the bill. The guide and driver were very professional, informative and efficient.
Fantastic day trip. Phil our guide has been the best today. He had so much interesting information and many stories which made the long bus rides fly by. Very comfortable coach driven by Sam. Highly recommend.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your fantastic review. We’re delighted to hear Phil’s fascinating stories and historical knowledge made the journey so enjoyable, and that Sam provided such a comfortable coach journey throughout the day. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Evan Evans
We had a wonderful experience on the Cotswolds and Blenheim Palace Day Trip from London with Evan Evans Tours, booked through TripAdvisor. The tour departed promptly at 9:00 a.m. from Victoria Coach Station, but I definitely recommend arriving early to check in since there are many different tours leaving from the station. Our tour guide, Angela, was fantastic, and our driver, Angelo, did an excellent job navigating the busy roads safely and smoothly. Despite the extremely hot weather, everyone made the most of the day. One thing that made a huge difference was the coach itself—the air conditioning was superb and provided a welcome break from the heat each time we got back on the bus. Angela kept us entertained throughout the journey, sharing interesting history and facts about the areas we passed, which made the drive just as enjoyable as the destinations. Before the trip, I was a little concerned that we wouldn’t have enough time at each stop. However, with the heat and the well-planned schedule, the amount of time at each location actually felt just right. We had enough time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the highlights before we were ready to move on. Overall, this was a very well-organized day trip with beautiful scenery, fascinating history, and excellent service from both Angela and Angelo. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for an easy and enjoyable way to experience the Cotswolds and Blenheim Palace from London.

This was a great day and great tour. Seeing the palace was a great highlight of the day. Our tour guide Sandra did an awesome job giving us a wealth of information on the way there and on the way back. She took us to some interesting places in Cotswold as well. Our driver Mentor was awesome and got us through some rough spots without a hitch! An overall great tour!
