Learn how the ‘Kingmaker’ was the only man who dared defy the King, and how he defeated the armies of King Edward IV in battle before taking the King himself as a prisoner. Explore the lavishly decorated State Rooms and 17th-century Great Hall; a room boasting an impressive collection of artefacts including suits of armour and medieval weapons.

Fantastic day trip with a great guide ! - Rοwen is an amazing tour guide !
I have travelled extensively and she is by far the best tour guide
I have encountered.
She provides the information in a fun interesting way
and loves her work .
The trip itself was lovely.
I think it would have been nice
for the bus to stop somewhere in the Cotswolds
for maybe 10 minutes to take in the view and get some photos.
Also since we actually drive in and out of London
over half an hour each way
maybe some general information about London
would be insightful .

Interesting but a little too drawn out - Very interesting, but a little too little time to see everything. Especially Oxford, last stop only 15 minutes to visit the city

All about Rowan - our tour escort! - This trip was good only because of an amazing tour escort by the name Rowan! Though the time we got at each Stop was too less, yet she tried to pack up everything well so that we did not miss much! She kept us entertained with her amazing knowledge of history & funny anecdotes! She was actually the highlight of the tour! They should start a special tour saying “……… with Rowan”!!!
