A dream come true! - This was an awesome experience. We happened to be at Highclere for the VJ Day celebration. This made the war hospital storyline more real. The house tour was fantastic. Seeing all the artwork and books and bedrooms was great. Our guide Eva gave us unknown tidbits about Downton Abbey and made a super effort to get to know each person.

An Amazing day on the Downton Abbey Tour - Everything I had hoped for - This Downton Abby Tour was everything I had hoped for. Being able to see and tour Highclere Castle, the beautiful grounds and gardens as well as the cute village of Brampton, was a true bucket list experience. Our guide Eva was so knowledgeable and had many fun facts to share.
What made it truly unforgettable was the atmosphere, the stories shared, and the sense of connection to a world we’ve admired from afar. It wasn’t just a tour—it was an experience that will stay with me always. A day filled with memories I’ll treasure forever.
Highly recommend for any fan of Downton Abbey or anyone who appreciates beauty, history, and storytelling at its finest.

Such a treat - very much worth the trip. - Wonderful trip to Highclere and Bampton. The guides were knowledgeable, kind and fully able to respond to all our questions, with added tidbits, stories and anecdotes that made it so worth the trip! We even saw the Countess that day, giving a private tour to a journalist.

Bampton was a bonus, Highclere did not disappoint - Jed an awesome guide keeping us entertained en route and taking us through Bampton Village pointing out where certain places were used on the show, behind the scenes stories. Once we arrived at Highclere Castle, we were on our own to explore the grounds and the inside. Be aware no photos allowed inside. If you're a Downton Abbey fan this is a must do!

Excellent visit - Everything was fine. Our guide was very good; he had a perfect command of the world of Downton and he animated well during the transport time. The duration of the visit was also perfect.
