This 4-hour tour will explore London’s Downton Abbey filming locations with a private guide. Settle into your comfortable vehicle and listen to interesting insider facts and insights into the making of the Downton Abbey series and plans for future seasons. We have designed your tour to be fun, family friendly and entertaining. A fantastic way to see London through the eyes of the Grantham’s. Be sure to book early, though — the tour is hugely popular!
Travel deep into the historical heart of London, delving into the prestigious districts of Westminster, Belgravia, Mayfair and the City — all regular haunts of English gentry in the early 1900s. Pause outside the house that served as the Grantham’s London family home and see where Harold, the maverick American brother of Cora Crawley, had a picnic with love interest, Madeline, and his mother Martha in the Christmas Special of Season 4.
Pass by the restaurants and gentlemen’s clubs, such as Boodle’s and White’s, Lord Grantham might have frequented. Also, step daintily out of your cab to visit some of the shops where the aristocratic Lord and Lady Grantham might have bought their clothes and hunting regalia. And, discover from your guide how London’s poor lived at the time, often in cramped districts just a few steps from the genteel areas known to families such as the Grantham’s.
Your tour finishes when your driver drops you at a convenient central London location. Please note: all tour options include coffee breaks (own expense), restroom stops, and complimentary water. This tour does not visit Highclere Castle only London locations

Great guide and flexible, knows London well. Great stories shared about the history behind each area
It was a dream come true. The driver, Andrew, was very knowledgeable, I give him the highest rating possible. He will show you the scenes that will depict the location. It’s a must see for FANS of Downton Abbey.
<p>Andrew the guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and a good driver. He allowed ample time to take pictures, and provided other history about the London beyond Downton Abbey. The company texted me the day before to confirm the tour, which I REALLY appreciated. It helped ease my mind to know that the tour was a go. Thank you!</p>
<p>Very good. Tour guide was great but a little surprising that it was not a tour of the actual house.</p>
<p>5 Stars are not enough. Our guide Andrew was fantastic. His knowledge, the conversational engagement outstanding. My wife being an absolute Downton Abbey nut tested Andrew's knowledge through all episodes and she could not get him to falter, specially after she throw in some 007 themes. Well done my man.</p>
<p>Wonderful tour! Our guide Andrew was very knowledgable and friendly. In addition to sharing his extensive Downton Abbey knowledge about the London filming locations, he also shared historical and topical information about London. We highly recommend this tour and kudos to Andrew for a fabulous job!</p>
<p>Andrew was great. We'll prepared with a mix of Downtown insights and London sights. Well done.</p>
