Downton Abbey - A Fan's Dream Tour - Really enjoyed the guided tour of the Village of Bampton. The guide shared pictures and stories of the houses and church green and how they were used for the show Downton Abbey. The guide was very engaging and made the ride there and back enjoyable. We even got to test our knowledge of some of the Downton characters. The visit to Highclere Castle was better than my previous visit with more rooms available for viewing. We also had the opportunity to meet and chat with Fiona Carnarvon, the Lady of the castle.

A Rainy day at Highclere was amazing fun! A Fab tour guide! - Our tour guide, Rory, was interesting & very likeable.. he prepared us 4 what we were going 2 C at Highclere, & did a Gr8 job on our Brampton Walk… he made the day awesome..With perfect timing 4 our stops.. Lady Carnarvon was amazing, kind & sweet.. the rain didn’t dampen our spirits.. Gr8 job Rory!

Wonderful experience! - We had such a wonderful time visiting Highclere Castle. It was so much fun seeing the place where Downton Abby took place. Our tour guide, Rory was so informative. I am so glad we went on a small group tour. It was perfect!

Wonderful visit to Downton - Thoroughly enjoyed the tour to Downton Abbey and Bampton. What a fabulous trip. I loved every minute. Downton Abbey did not disappoint - it was absolutely beautiful. It was great to be able to walk around the grounds afterwards. Bampton was so nice too - a quaint little village. Everything went like clockwork and was very well run. A big thank you to our guide, Rory and our driver, Bruce who were both absolute gentlemen and very knowledgable, pleasant and funny!

Tower of London at it’s best. - The tour, guide, and experience were fascinating. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. Thank you for a great experience.

Amazing trip! - Wonderful time with our guide Eva and our driver Michael. Very informative and would recommend to everyone.

Must tour for all Downton Abbey fans - The guide was great and lively (if I remember correctly, David was his name), he told us many interesting things about the series and making of it. He showed us Downton Abbey series on the way to and from Bamton and Highclere castle to get us all in the mood for great fun. I can really recommend this tour to all Downton fans.

A Downtown Abbey delight - We on thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Our tour guide, Chris was knowledgeable, entertaining and engaging. The town and Highclere Castle were both interesting and lovely. The Highclere grounds are beautiful. The food was delicious and surprisingly not expensive. We loved the whole tour.

Downton Abbey Day - We really enjoyed the tour-our guide Ava was very informative. Our driver Paul did a great job as well. It was fun to visit the village of Bampton and see firsthand where many of the scenes were filmed. The castle was beautiful. We arrived in pouring rain and appreciated that we were allowed to enter the castle before our designated time due to the rain. We only have two complaints: 1-while we were watching the Downton Abbey episodes on the bus, our guide and driver had a fairly loud conversation, making it a bit difficult to hear, but at least there were subtitles. 2-due to a tube stop closure, we were dropped off at a different location than our meeting spot-our guide thought it would be more helpful for everyone, but we had a 10 minute walk back to our hotel, which was across the street from our meeting spot. We definitely enjoyed the day and enjoyed the tour-it was a lot of fun and we’re happy that we went on the tour.

Disappointing- small group larger than advertised and uncomfortable! - This trip was disappointing. Deceptive advertising- the info blurb says the small group tour had “ a maximum of 15” but there were 18 on our tour. The tour bus had NO legroom- all of us had our knees jammed in, my 6’1 and 6’2 husband and son had to stick their legs out into the aisle to get moderately comfortable. Other participants complained of this as well. Our tour guide Jed was very nice but the amount of content re Downton Abbey could be improved. He did do a fun quiz on the way home. All told, it was clear that quality was sacrificed so that the organizing company could squeeze out extra money from these tours- the coach comfort has GOT to be improved.If the trip serves a maximum of 15 as advertised then stick to your own advertised standard- and take out the extra seats that makes everyone feel jammed in! The uncomfortable seats set off the trip on a bad note- unnecessarily.
