Itinerario
Palacio de Blenheim Esta imponente mansión, actual residencia privada del undécimo duque y la duquesa de Marlborough, es quizás más conocida por ser el lugar de nacimiento de Sir Winston Churchill. Admire los asombrosos detalles detrás de los retratos, tapices y muebles en los salones de estado profusamente decorados, que incluyen muebles ornamentados de Boulle, alfombras Savonniere y la icónica serie de tapices "Victorias" que celebran la victoria del duque sobre los ejércitos franceses de "El Rey Sol", Luis XIV, en la batalla de Blenheim. Disfrute de un paseo por los hermosos jardines formales diseñados por Lancelot "Capability" Brown y más de 2000 acres de parque, o camine siguiendo los pasos de Sir Winston Churchill. Visite sus lugares al aire libre más preciados en los terrenos del Palacio de Blenheim, incluido el lugar donde le propuso matrimonio a Clementine Hozier.
Los Cotswolds & Stow-on-the-Wold Después de un breve viaje a través de algunos de los campos más hermosos de Inglaterra, llegaremos a nuestro próximo destino, Stow-on-the-Wold. Explora la llamativa plaza del mercado, rodeada de elegantes casas adosadas de piedra, tiendas independientes, centros de antigüedades, acogedoras cafeterías y posadas tradicionales, la plaza ha sido central en la vida de Stow durante siglos.
Bampton (el pueblo de Downton Abbey): Ubicado en las colinas ondulantes se encuentra el pintoresco pueblo de Bampton. Este pequeño pueblo inglés tradicional ha sido el lugar de rodaje más reciente de la popular serie de televisión de drama de época, Downton Abbey. Verás la casa de Isobel Crawley, el Downton Cottage Hospital, la iglesia del pueblo, así como la ubicación de dos pubs locales ficticios, The Grantham Arms y The Dog & Duck.
Estación de tren Victoria de Londres El recorrido finalizará en el exterior de la estación de tren Victoria de Londres, que goza de una ubicación céntrica y es fácilmente accesible en tren y metro nacionales. Cuenta con el servicio de las líneas Victoria, District y Circle y se encuentra en la zona de viaje 1.

The itinerary has not met our expectations. For example, time allotted to Stow-on-the-Woll was far too short to explore and enjoy the village. The only bright parts of our tour were our guide, Leslie, and our driver, Adrian.
The tour guide was telling the stories who she met “but I am not tell you who”. What is the point to start the story? The thrown the names many people not familiar with, “well… people who know them , understand who it is”. Horrible experience with Lesly.
Great way to see Cotswolds and more countryside. Guide was informative! Don’t spend too much time inside Blenheim or you won’t have time for the gardens and grounds!
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.

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
