Itinéraire
Plus de mille ans d'histoire attendent d'être découverts dans ce fantastique château médiéval. Situé face à la rivière Avon dans un parc paysager de 64 hectares, ce magnifique château appartenait autrefois à l'homme le plus puissant d'Angleterre, le comte de Warwick. Découvrez comment le « Faiseur de Rois » était le seul homme à avoir osé défier le Roi, et comment il a vaincu les armées du Roi Édouard IV au combat avant de prendre le Roi lui-même comme prisonnier. Explorez les salles d'apparat somptueusement décorées et la grande salle du XVIIe siècle; une salle offrant une impressionnante collection d'objets, y compris des costumes d'armure et des armes médiévales. Dans la prison du château datant du XIVe siècle, le donjon original, voyez des graffitis laissés par des prisonniers il y a des centaines d'années. Combien de noms pouvez-vous repérer ?
Ce pittoresque bourg est surtout célèbre pour avoir été le lieu de naissance de William Shakespeare, largement considéré comme le plus grand écrivain de la littérature anglaise et le dramaturge le plus éminent du monde.
Cet ancien bourg est peut-être surtout célèbre pour avoir été le lieu de naissance de William Shakespeare, largement considéré comme le plus grand écrivain de la littérature Anglaise et le plus grand dramaturge du monde. Vous aurez la possibilité de visiter la maison à colombages du XVIe siècle où Shakespeare est né en 1564 et a grandi. Profitez d'un aperçu fascinant des récits de sa vie familiale et admirez des artefacts rares exposés dans les Collections de classe mondiale du Shakespeare Trust.
Notre dernière étape, également connue sous le nom de 'The City of Dreaming Spires', est la ville universitaire la plus célèbre du Royaume-Uni et abrite la plus ancienne université du monde Anglais, l'Université d'Oxford. Profitez d'une visite à pied à travers la ville avec votre Guide Expert, qui donnera vie au charme et à l'histoire de cette ville incroyable. Oxford est le seul endroit du pays où vous trouverez des exemples de chaque période architecturale remontant aussi loin que l'époque saxonne. Rien d'étonnant donc à ce que cette belle ville ait été le lieu de tournage d'innombrables films et séries télévisées au fil des ans, dont la série de films Harry Potter. En déambulant dans ses rues pavées avec votre Guide, vous verrez des sites touristiques tels que Bridge of Sighs, Trinity College, le musée Ashmolean et le théâtre Sheldonian.
Couvrant près de 800 miles carrés et pas moins de cinq comtés anglais, les Cotswolds sont la plus grande zone de beauté naturelle désignée au Royaume-Uni. Préparez vos appareils photo pendant que nous traversons la jolie campagne sans relâche en route vers notre prochaine destination. Veuillez noter que nous n'arrêtons aucun des villages des Cotswolds.

Today’s trip was a wonderful journey through England’s rich history and culture, and Anna made it even more special. We started at Warwick, exploring its magnificent castle and medieval charm. From there, we headed to Stratford-upon-Avon, enjoying the beautiful streets and soaking in the hometown of Shakespeare. We ended the day in Oxford, where the stunning university buildings and timeless atmosphere made for a perfect finish. A well-organized day filled with history, architecture, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommended!

We had a great time exploring these historic sites. Our guide Ana was excellent and had a great sense of humor. Our girls enjoyed the variety of things to do and the kids play area at Warwick Castle. There was a beautiful spot by the Avon River to have lunch, and the amount of knowledge at Oxford was astounding. Malcolm our driver did a great job of getting us in and out of these tight cities.

Great experience. Loved Warwick Castle, SHAKESPEARE’S Birth Place and Oxford. Great sites! Logistics were easy. Our guide Anna was very helpful and personable. She did a nice job balancing the amount of info she presented so that it wasn’t overwhelming but it was also informative. Our driver Marco did a great job. Everything on time.

The experience with Anna (guide) and Marco our driver could not have been better. The pick up location at Victoria Coach Station was very convenient and centrally located. Anna did a great job at getting us through all of the stops even given. How busy it was. The highlights of the trip included Oxford University and The Birth Home of Shakespeare. The castle, while not your traditional castle tour, was still very good and great photo opportunities. I would highly recommend this for people looking to get away from the busy London sites and take in more of the country side. The drive through the Cotswolds was a nice breakout from the tours we experienced. Great job!

Not really worth paying for the tour as it amounted to trying to hear the guide in one ear piece while hearing all the traffic and crowd noise in the other as you travel as a large group thru crowded streets. Didn’t see much of Oxford, thought Warwick Castle had more to do with W Churchill, and drive thru Cotswolds in a speeding bus—we saw two thatched cottages. Take a train to Oxford and hire a local tour.

The guide was great! A dapper fellow! Three stops. Warwick. Shakesphere upon Avon. Oxford, and drive through some Cotswolds vilages. The time at Warwick was to short to see anything other than the castle. It is a five minute walk to and from the bus so you have about 1 1/4 to see the castle, which is plenty of time but there is not time to also explore outside down the path or outside. Shakesphere Upon Avon. If you are not interested in seeing Shakesphere's house, graveyard etc. There is not much to see in the surrounding area as the gift shops are sparce and contain the same similar items. Oxford: We did not participate in that tour. Instead went on our own to explore. The Cotswold drive through scenic Cotswolds towns was very nice. I have come to the conclusion that (for me) tour buses are not the way to explore. I do not like being on a tight schedule in places I want to see more of.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the scenic Cotswolds drive and your guide’s contribution to the tour.
