We booked the two hour tour for four of us, and had a fascinating couple of hours wandering around Warwick's obvious and more hidden interesting bits. We'd definitely recommend this as a happy way to spend time in this beautiful town. Thanks for the tour and tea shop recommendation Henry - neither disappointed!
2. 3-Day Stratford-upon-Avon, the Cotswolds & Oxford Small-Group Tour from London
Overall Ratings
4.9 based on 7 reviews
The thick-walled castles inspired Shakespeare's battle-torn tales. The narrow cobbled lanes kindled his love stories’ twists and turns. And the deep, green valleys encouraged him to write about monsters, myths, and magic. On this adventure, we take you through the landscapes that sparked his imagination and his inspirational hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon. But this tour isn’t just about the famous playwright. You find yourself a little tipsy as you sample a local beer in a small brewery. You feel princely as you walk through the ancient hallways of Blenheim Palace. And you become snap-happy as you wander over the trickling rivers and peaceful hills of the Cotswolds. Learn about Shakespeare’s inspirations and discover England’s most famous landmarks on this three-day small group tour from London.
Inclusions: Professional Driver Guide, 2 nights en-suite accommodation with breakfast, Transport on a top of the range Mercedes mini-coach, Small Group Tour with maximum 16 people for a more personal experience

If this is the Rabies Tour it is totally outstanding !! We enjoyed it immensely. Our guide was Dan from Wales. He was excellent. Next year 2022 we plan to book a Rabies Tour for Scotland and we're going to fill our own bus! Can't wait

Francesco did a tremendous job for us. He obviously knew his subject very well and delivered it using humour and candour. The only thing that was missing in our opinion was speakers because at times we were at the back and could not hear him...otherwise excellent...and we wish him the best with his Architectural studies Regards Soumi and Lydia Mitra

Fantastic - even for a muggle this place is jaw dropping. This was our third visit and we will be back before the year is out . You can actually do this trip yourself by public transport from Waterloo to Watford Junction and then there is a free shuttle coach to the studios and it will end up costing you a fraction of the price. Just to say I have not used this service so I am not reviewing the service given by Premium tours .A family ticket cost €132 for 2 adults and 2 children and then the extras are just the train fare. If you are on a budget I would recommend exploring this option.

Me and a friend decided to visit Bicester Village in Oxfordshire for a little guilty pleasure shopping day, we decided that Bicester Village would be the ideal place as it housed some of our favourite brands excluding Louis Vuitton (sad face), and generally it makes a good day out. On this occasion we decided to book via Trip Advisor and take the luxury coach experience over car or train. The coach booking was very easy and convenient to do, once the date was selected the time and location (Victoria Coach stn situated on Buckingham Palace Rd) provided a convenient and hassle free booking arrangement. The coach was nicely designed with the Bicester logo and text so easily recognisable on arrival, the driver was really helpful and friendly when assisting me to direct my friend to the pick up point. The only negative for us, is we didn't realise that the coach would stop off at various hotel locations in central London to fill the coach prior to departure to Bicester Village itself, we personally thought this wasted time and would find driving their a better option on the next visit. The village was as nice, as I remembered it, we found that not all the boutiques took the 10% discount on offer with this coach trip. However the village was offering some great savings, so we decided that wasn't a major problem. We were asked to get back to the coach point for a 5pm departure, before we boarded to head home, this service provided free tea, coffee and water which was a really nice touch to sip something warm whilst enjoying the coach trip home, with our new designer purchases. The only one major disappointment was we decided to dine at Shan Shui, which personally I found the food to be really delicious, however my friend being a vegetarian found chicken within her vegetarian rice dish, which was a major disappointment. The dish was taken and another offered to replace the first dish, but the issue with the chicken being in the dish in the first instance was off putting, therefore a replacement dish was not excepted. Management were very sincere with an apology in regards to the situation, personally I would dine there again, however, vegetarians may want to take the menu into special consideration if choosing this venue as a dining option. My closing advice, visit when you can, as I'll be going back next year (2020) by car!

I have used other transportation services from Heathrow to my hotels before visiting London, but this has been the best so far! As soon as I arrived in the airport terminal my driver Paulo greeted me, it was so easy to locate him which was a relief. Expedia booked the incorrect travel dates that I was arriving and advised me to cancel and re book again myself online, I explained to the rep I was having difficulty locating a private transfer suitable for my needs especially with Covid still running rampant. Instead I decided to call City transfers myself and there staff changed everything that expedia screwed up. I didn't have to cancel re book anything as Expedia advised me to do. I even received a courtesy phone call the day before my departure to confirm my details again. I also received text message when my drivers had arrived. Extremely great service, definitely new fav for private transportation when visiting in the UK!
