Itinerario
Más de mil años de historia esperan ser descubiertos en este fantástico castillo medieval. Ubicado frente al río Avon dentro de 64 acres de terreno ajardinado, este hermoso castillo perteneció una vez al hombre más poderoso de Inglaterra, el conde de Warwick. Aprende cómo el "Hacedor de Reyes" fue el único hombre que se atrevió a desafiar al Rey, y cómo derrotó a los ejércitos del rey Eduardo IV en batalla antes de tomar al propio Rey como prisionero. Explore las lujosas salas de estado y el Gran Salón del siglo XVII, una habitación con una impresionante colección de artefactos, incluidos trajes de armadura y armas medievales. En la gaola del siglo XIV del castillo, la mazmorra original, se ven grafitis dejados por prisioneros hace cientos de años. ¿Cuántos nombres puedes encontrar?
Esta pintoresca ciudad comercial es famosa por ser el lugar de nacimiento de William Shakespeare, ampliamente considerado como el escritor más grande de la literatura inglesa y el dramaturgo preeminente del mundo.
Esta antigua ciudad comercial es quizás más famosa por ser el lugar de nacimiento de William Shakespeare, ampliamente considerado como el mejor escritor de la literatura inglesa y el mejor dramaturgo del mundo. Tendrás la opción de visitar la casa de entramado del siglo XVI donde Shakespeare nació en 1564 y creció. Disfrute de una fascinante visión de las historias de su vida familiar y admire artefactos raros en las exhibiciones de las colecciones de clase mundial de Shakespeare Trust.
Cubriendo casi 800 millas cuadradas y no menos de cinco condados ingleses, los Cotswolds son el Área de Belleza Natural designada más grande del Reino Unido. Prepare sus cámaras mientras conducimos a través de la incansable belleza de la campiña de camino a nuestro próximo destino. Tenga en cuenta que no paramos en ninguna de las aldeas de los Cotswolds.
Nuestra última parada, también conocida como 'La ciudad de las cumbres de los sueños', es la ciudad universitaria más famosa del Reino Unido y el hogar de la universidad más antigua del mundo de habla inglesa, la Universidad de Oxford. Disfrute de un recorrido a pie por la ciudad con su guía experto, que le dará vida al encanto y la historia de esta increíble ciudad. Oxford es el único lugar del país donde encontrará ejemplos de cada período arquitectónico que se remonta a la época sajona. No sorprende, entonces, que esta hermosa ciudad haya sido el lugar de rodaje de innumerables películas y series de televisión a lo largo de los años, incluida la serie de películas de Harry Potter. Mientras paseas por sus calles empedradas con tu guía, verás lugares de interés como el Puente de los Suspiros, el Trinity College, el Museo Ashmolean y el Teatro Sheldonian.
En Christ Church College, visitarás una de las universidades más prestigiosas de la Universidad. Fundada por Enrique VIII en 1532, Christ Church también funciona como la catedral más pequeña del Reino Unido. Su hermosa arquitectura lo ha visto aparecer en películas como Harry Potter y The Golden Compass, mientras que también ha inspirado réplicas en todo el mundo. El famoso comedor, por ejemplo, ha sido reproducido en la Universidad de Cornell y la Universidad de Chicago. ¡El comedor en todas las películas de Harry Potter está inspirado en el comedor de Christchurch!
Hertford Bridge, a menudo llamado "el Puente de los Suspiros", es una vía aérea que une dos partes de Hertford College sobre New College Lane en Oxford, Inglaterra. Su diseño distintivo lo convierte en un hito de la ciudad.
La Biblioteca Bodleian es la principal biblioteca de investigación de la Universidad de Oxford, y es una de las bibliotecas más antiguas de Europa. Con más de 12 millones de artículos, es la segunda biblioteca más grande de Gran Bretaña después de la Biblioteca Británica.

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.
