Robert was a caring and passionate tour guide . We thoroughly enjoyed seeing so many sights in one day trip! Absolutely worth every penny! Patella was a safe driver, too! Thank you for a fabulous day. Highly recommend!

Phil from Evan Evans was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! We’ve been in tons of day trips and Phil was enthusiastic, very informed, and a ton of fun. Thanks Phil!

I highly recommend this tour from London. The booking was easy and communication on where to meet and the itinerary were clear and accurate. Our guide was knowledgeable about the sites and made the drive in a plush Mercedes tour bus memorable. We were allowed time on our own in Warwick Castle, a scenic drive through Cotswold, an in-depth look at Shakespeare's birthplace and surrounding area with time for shopping and eating. Lastly we visited the picturesque Oxford with a informative walk then time on our own before meeting the bus for the drive back. We booked this trip last minute and are so glad we did!
