This was a well developed tour. Toured Bampton with a focus on scenes from the filming and some background. Loads of Downton Abbey facts and background points provided by our tour guide Rory who did an outstanding job. Truly enjoyed our day.
This tour was as advertised. Great, fun day where we were able to see “Downton Abbey” and the supporting film locations. The castle visit was enjoyable and I appreciated being able to visualize the rooms where various film experiences happened. So appreciate the owner’s willingness to share their home with all of us. The countryside you’re able to see from the castle lawns is so beautiful. Our tour guide, Michael was great and he provided several insights into the film as well as fun facts about the behind the scenes scenarios. I’d take this tour again. If you’re a Downton Abbey fan it’s a must see!
Our guide Micheal and our driver Frank were amazing
What a wonderful day! Eva was amazing. She was engaging, funny, knowledgeable! Michael was a great driver. This was a "bucket list" item and we thoroughly loved every minute of it! Thank you Eva and Michael!
This was a good tour. We saw Bampton the village used for Downton Village. Lovely church. After the village we spent about 2.5 hours at Highclere. Our guide was great and it was fun riding home watching the first episode of Downton Abby.
For a serious Downton Abbey fan this was perfect day. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the show he was proficient and witty. Our driver was excellent and we appreciated the stop along the way for bathroom break
Great tour to visit the village of Downton Abbey and Highclere Castle. The time at each location was plenty to see the sights from the show. Our guide Richard was great, lots of fun stories and knowledge. Highly recommend this tour. One note, we went on a Sunday, so if you want to see some of the shops in the village avoid Saturday.
It was a wonderful experience. I was joined by a very nice lady from New Zealand. We enjoyed a scone and the gift shop after. I could have spent a few more hours there to see garden. Next time.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Brampton and Highclere Castle with Michael and the fabulous driver Frank. Comfortable coach, Pitstop comfort stop and just a very well organised day out. Would recommend to all
Richard was an amazing guide! He was funny, knowledgeable and kind. I would book again in a heartbeat! We had an easy to find meeting point, a one hour drive to a restaurant stop then another 45 minutes or so to the village. After the village it was another 45 minutes or so to the castle. The castle itself does not take long to go through, but the cafe food was delicious! It was about a 9 hour day from start to finish. Well worth it. Thank you, Richard, for an amazing trip!
