With three stops it was a busy day! The guide was very informative and our driver could maneuver that huge bus on those tiny medieval streets like nobodies business. As you would expect, our only complaint is to wish we had more time at each location.

It's a good compromise if you want to be able to see a few things all in one day and not walk too much. If you buy the option including entry tickets you can also enjoy a visit to the castle and Shakespeare's birth place which are both worth seeing. The trip is in a very comfortable coach. The guide could have been better though. He didn't make too much of an effort in trying to keep the group interested, he immediately told everyone he wouldn't wait for anyone in case of delays and he would sleep well anyway if doing so - which I didn't find funny. He just seemed not to care that much. I guess it just depends on the person, there are definitely better guides, even on these tours.

The audio equipment with the earphone was quite helpful for hearing the guide. The guide used excellent judgment regarding the weather, having us shop indoors until the rain stopped. He made sure everyone knew their way back to their hotels. It really wasn’t enough time in Stratford-upon-Avon. All the other tour companies do the same tour, though.
