Reiseverlauf
Über tausend Jahre Geschichte warten darauf, auf dieser fantastischen mittelalterlichen Burg entdeckt zu werden. Dieses wunderschöne Schloss, das sich am Fluss Avon inmitten einer 64 Hektar großen Parklandschaft befindet, gehörte einst dem mächtigsten Mann Englands, dem Earl of Warwick. Erfahren Sie, wie der "Königsmacher" der einzige Mann war, der es wagte, dem König zu trotzen, und wie er die Armeen von König Eduard IV. in der Schlacht besiegte, bevor er den König selbst als Gefangenen nahm. Erkunden Sie die üppig dekorierten Prunkräume und den Großen Saal aus dem 17. Jahrhundert; ein Raum mit einer beeindruckenden Sammlung von Artefakten, darunter Rüstungen und mittelalterliche Waffen. In der Burghalle aus dem 14. Jahrhundert, dem ursprünglichen Kerker, sehen Sie Graffiti, die vor Hunderten von Jahren von Gefangenen hinterlassen wurden. Wie viele Namen können Sie erkennen?
Diese malerische Marktstadt ist vor allem dafür bekannt, der Geburtsort von William Shakespeare zu sein, der weithin als der größte Schriftsteller der englischen Literatur und der weltweit herausragende Dramatiker gilt.
Diese alte Marktstadt ist vielleicht am bekanntesten, weil sie der Geburtsort von William Shakespeare ist, der weithin als der größte Schriftsteller der Englischen Literatur und der größte Dramatiker der Welt gilt. Sie haben die Möglichkeit, das Fachwerkhaus aus dem 16. Jahrhundert zu besuchen, in dem Shakespeare 1564 geboren und aufgewachsen ist. Genießen Sie einen faszinierenden Einblick in Geschichten aus seinem Familienleben und bewundern Sie seltene Artefakte aus den erstklassigen Kollektionen des Shakespeare Trust.
Mit einer Fläche von fast 800 Quadratmeilen und nicht weniger als fünf englischen Grafschaften sind die Cotswolds das größte ausgewiesene Gebiet von natürlicher Schönheit in Großbritannien. Halten Sie Ihre Kameras bereit, während wir auf dem Weg zu unserem nächsten Ziel durch die unablässig schöne Landschaft fahren. Bitte beachten Sie, dass wir keines der Dörfer in den Cotswolds stoppen.
Unsere letzte Station, auch bekannt als "Die Stadt der träumenden Türme", ist die berühmteste Universitätsstadt Großbritanniens und Heimat der ältesten Universität im englischsprachigen Raum, der University of Oxford. Genießen Sie einen Stadtrundgang mit Ihrem erfahrenen Führer, der den Charme und die Geschichte dieser unglaublichen Stadt zum Leben erweckt. Oxford ist der einzige Ort im Land, an dem Sie Beispiele für jede Architekturperiode finden, die bis in die sächsische Zeit zurückreicht. Kein Wunder also, dass diese wunderschöne Stadt im Laufe der Jahre Drehort für unzählige Filme und Fernsehserien war, einschließlich der Harry-Potter-Filmreihe. Wenn Sie mit Ihrem Führer durch die gepflasterten Straßen streifen, sehen Sie Sehenswürdigkeiten wie die Seufzerbrücke, das Trinity College, das Ashmolean Museum und das Sheldonian Theatre.
Am Christ Church College besuchen Sie eines der renommiertesten Colleges der Universität. Christ Church wurde 1532 von Heinrich VIII. Gegründet und fungiert auch als kleinste Kathedrale Großbritanniens. Seine wunderschöne Architektur hat es in Filmen wie Harry Potter und The Golden Compass gezeigt, während es auch Repliken auf der ganzen Welt inspiriert hat. Der berühmte Speisesaal wurde zum Beispiel an der Cornell University und der University of Chicago reproduziert. Der Speisesaal in allen Harry-Potter-Filmen ist dem Christchurch-Speisesaal nachempfunden!
Die Hertford Bridge, oft als "Seufzerbrücke" bezeichnet, ist ein Skyway, der zwei Teile des Hertford College über die New College Lane in Oxford, England, verbindet. Sein unverwechselbares Design macht es zu einem Wahrzeichen der Stadt.
Die Bodleian Library ist die wichtigste Forschungsbibliothek der Universität Oxford und eine der ältesten Bibliotheken in Europa. Mit über 12 Millionen Objekten ist es nach der British Library die zweitgrößte Bibliothek in Großbritannien.

What a great day to Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Warwick Castle! Kudos to Simon for his guiding and Ahmed for his driving! Loved walking through Oxford, seeing the architecture and learning the history. Plenty of photographic spots and opportunities. Stratford-upon-Avon had a nice museum with admission part of our fee to see the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Plenty of great souvenirs to shop and a tasty lunch was had on Henley Street. Warwick Castle was a sight! Loved the grounds, various amusement sites including the Horrible Histories Maze. Hilarious! Had such a fun time walking the castle it was tough to leave. Highly recommend this “tasting” tour to learn about these locations if you’re not doing more time at them.
I only had an extra day in London after a business trip and this was a great option to get a quick taste of some points of interest outside the city. It delivers. Simon, our guide, was great. His interesting commentary enhanced the experience.
Drive through cotswolds, no stops. Stratford on avon great. Warwick castle, worthwhile. Disappointed no stops in Cotswolds.
Pablo has been one of the best guides ever. Thanks for driving us Vinnie
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Pablo was one of the best guides you’ve ever had. We’re also pleased that Vinnie provided you with a safe and comfortable journey. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with both of them. Thank you for choosing Evan Evans Tours, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience! Kind regards, Evanevanstours team
Pablo, our guide, and Vinnie, our bus driver, were great. We had a wonderful time on this tour. Oxford was probably the highlight and Pablo did a great job on the walking tour. Stratford upon Avon and Warwick Castle were just ok. Warwick castle is very commercialized and probably great for families, but not that great for adults. Stratford upon Avon is cute but the Shakespeare museum is very small. We had a nice lunch there so that was good. Overall a nice day and a safe travels with Pablo and Vinnie.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you had a wonderful day and that Pablo and Vinnie made the tour enjoyable and safe.

Thank you again for sharing your experience and for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable journey in the future! Kind regards, Evanevanstours team
It was ok in that it would've taken a lot longer with public transport and the coach was comfortable and air conditioned. I would've liked more time at Stratford-Upon-Avon so I also could've visited Ann Hathaway's cottage and Shakespeare's final resting place. Guide was ok, but not very entertaining and needs to wear something that he can be more easily spotted in. I signed up for the English tour, but because there was a Spanish speaking contingent, it felt like 75% of his narrative was in Spanish.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your honest and detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found the coach comfortable and air-conditioned, and that the tour was a convenient alternative to traveling by public transport. We understand your disappointment about the limited time in Stratford-upon-Avon, especially as you would have liked to visit Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and Shakespeare’s final resting place. We also appreciate your comments regarding the guide’s visibility and presentation. Most importantly, we’re sorry that you felt the English commentary was not given enough attention. We understand how frustrating this would be when you specifically booked an English-language tour. Your feedback is valuable, and we will share these concerns with our team to help improve the experience for future guests. Thank you again for joining us and for helping us identify areas where we can do better. Kind regards, Evanevanstours team
It was a great experience! ! My favorite stop was Stratford-upon-Avon. I am glad I added the admission price to Shakespeare's house. That made it hassle free. ANA was an excellent guide. She was well-prepared and gave us some background info about our next stop. She was friendly, funny and always open to any questions or concerns. PRAB, our driver, was safe, friendly and maneuvered those tiny roads with ease. I was able to relax and enjoy the ride. Overall, we enjoyed our trip very much! Patricia
Dear guest, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience, Patricia. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the day — especially your visit to Stratford‑upon‑Avon, which truly is a special stop. It’s great to know that adding the admission to Shakespeare’s house made everything smooth and hassle‑free for you. We’re thrilled that Ana made such a positive impact on your trip. Her preparation, friendly nature, humour and willingness to answer any questions are exactly what make a guide exceptional. And we’re equally glad to hear that Prab’s safe, calm and confident driving — especially on those narrow country roads — allowed you to relax and enjoy the journey. Your kind words for both your guide and driver are truly appreciated. We’re so happy the overall experience was memorable for you.
Didn’t know it was multi-language. Tour guide did a good job but might have chosen a different, all English tour
Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the tour and that our guide did a good job. We appreciate your comments regarding the multilingual format and understand that an English-only tour may have better suited your preference. We hope to welcome you again on a tour that better matches your expectations. Kind regards, Evanevanstours Team
Saul was a brilliant and conscientious guide. He was very personable and knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. He handled little hiccups like a road closure and a cranky guest with confidence and grace and honesty. He gave the tour in Spanish and English. He was a superb communicator making sure we knew exactly what time we needed to meet at the bus and where to meet. He made the day trip fun and engaging. Corey was a safe and excellent driver. He maneuvered traffic circles and needing the turn around in a narrow road due to an unexpected road closure with skill and confidence. They were very organized and worked great as a team! Highly recommend!!!

Great Experience!!! Our Second trip today after yesterday with Evan Evans and it started with the banger most detailed yet easy to understand, informative yet simple by our favorite guide Cameron(The Midland boy) today he made sure we were not left behind and also took us around different colleges in Oxford in no time and then to Stratford upon Avon to legend's birthplace on very balanced informative yet not over exhausting tour of Stratford and gave us enough time to rest and then the mind boggling Warwick Castle. Today's itinerary was well balanced got enough time to rest and see around places experience them and feel them. Thanks Evan Evans but do significantly need improvements on the. Windsor Castle and Bath Stonehenge trip it feels like a hustle. I understand they are far away from each other but rushing the guest won't help to grow though it's an popular one. Last but not the least Prabhy the lovely driver drove us safely to the destination, greeted us well and nice communicated and answered all the question asked by us.
