Itinerary
Walking tour of Oxford. Enjoy the opulence of Oxford! Renowned for over 900 years as a centre of academic excellence, follow in the footsteps of its famous students; from Bill Clinton to Lewis Carroll and C.S. Lewis. Uncover the university town of Oxford at a leisurely pace and take in the Bodleian Library and the captivating college courtyards on your travels. Be guided through unspoiled narrow alleys and ancient squares of the historic town and view the many colleges, notably Christ Church, the film location for the Harry Potter movies.
The tour drives through the Cotswolds, a charming blend of breathtaking natural beauty, bustling market towns and sleepy villages.
Shakespeare’s Stratford-Upon-Avon. Stratford is a market town with a difference. Bask in the birthplace of arguably the world's greatest writer, William Shakespeare, situated on the outskirts of the Forest of Arden. See Shakespeare's Birthplace - the half timbered house where he was born, to gain a fascinating insight into his childhood. You will view Shakespeare's birthplace from the outside, as it is closed for the holiday.
Be part of Britain’s greatest Medieval experience! Deep in the heart of Warwick Castle, the Great Hall becomes a hive of activity! Immerse yourself in battle preparations and feel the weight of a medieval sword. Become a soldier - try on a battle helmet for size! Visit the spectacular State Rooms and feast your eyes on Victorian party preparations. (Entrance to Warwick Castle Dungeon is not included in this tour).

All was good. Eileen, excelente guide. A pity that the bus broken in Oxford when we were about to leave, but in a few minutes I was transferred to another bus and back to London in time.
It was a great trip, full of great moments together with Pedro and Henry.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Golden Tours! My group recently booked the Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Cotswolds, and Warwick Castle tour, and it was brilliantly organised from start to finish. A special mention must go to our wonderful tour guide and driver, who were both absolute professionals. Our driver was highly skilled, courteous, and navigated the roads safely, making us feel completely at ease throughout the entire journey. Furthermore, the driver went above and beyond by diligently cleaning the coach every single time we stepped off for an excursion. It meant we always returned to an absolutely spotless and refreshing environment! Meanwhile, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly. They offered brilliant insights and history at every stop, ensuring the whole group was well looked after and entertained. Finding the departure point at Bulleid Way in Victoria was very straightforward. The coach itself was modern and supremely comfortable, and the onboard Wi-Fi was absolutely brilliant—the internet worked flawlessly the entire time without any drops in connection. The booking process was also highly efficient and offered great value. I highly recommend this tour and this exceptional team for anyone looking for a seamless, perfectly clean, and memorable day out from London!

Kelvin was an amazing guide and Abz did a great job driving the bus! Got to see 3 places I didn’t know much about and I learned a lot! Only wish there was that we had more time at each stop but the tour took all day so we did as much as possible. Kelvin is very knowledgeable and charismatic. It made it very interesting.

I enjoyed the tour but for me it would be better of I could stay more time in each place.
Thank you for your feedback — we really appreciate it! If you’d like more time at each stop, we recommend checking out our other tours that visit just 1 or 2 locations. These options are perfect for spending longer at each place and enjoying a more relaxed experience. We are glad you enjoyed the tour though!
Amazing tour Stefan is a great guide have mane fun facts about every topic and always was aware of do his best with the open things on the road (was a holiday so not many things was opened)
The experience was great, even though the weather was quite terrible. I thought that we were also going to visit the Cotswolds but it was just a drive though actually. Oliver and Mario (tourist guide and pilot) were really nice people.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you had a great experience with Oliver and Mario — they’ll be so pleased to know their friendliness made a difference to your day. We appreciate your note about the Cotswolds; this tour includes a scenic drive through the area rather than a full stop, and we’ll make sure this is communicated more clearly moving forward. Despite the weather, we’re glad you enjoyed the journey and hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
