Description

Travel from London on a full-day tour through England’s history and culture. Explore Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon, enjoy a scenic drive through the picturesque Cotswolds countryside, and discover the iconic city of Oxford, famous for its dreaming spires and historic colleges.

Stratford-Upon-Avon
Start your journey in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, one of the greatest writers in the English language. Stroll through this charming market town, set in the heart of rural England, and admire half-timbered buildings dating back to Shakespeare’s time. Take in the winding river and Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare is buried, and soak up the town’s rich literary and cultural history. Stratford is also home to the world-renowned Royal Shakespeare Company, making it a must-visit for theatre and literature lovers alike.

Private tour of Shakespeare’s Schoolroom and Guildhall
Step back in time to the 1570s when William Shakespeare was a pupil at the Schoolroom and Guildhall. Opened to the public in 2016 to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, this atmospheric building offers a rare glimpse into Tudor education. Enjoy a private morning tour before the site opens, where you can take part in a Tudor-style lesson with quill and ink, admire medieval wall paintings, and see the historic room where leading theatre companies once performed. The enduring impact of Shakespeare’s life and work continues to be celebrated today, including in the recent film Hamnet, inspired by the Bard’s family life and released to critical acclaim.

Drive Through the Cotswolds
On your way to Oxford, enjoy a scenic drive through the Cotswolds countryside, taking in rolling hills, quaint villages, and classic English landscapes from the comfort of your coach.

Oxford: The City of Dreaming Spires
End your day in Oxford, famously known as the “City of Dreaming Spires.” Explore the historic city on a guided walking tour, admiring its world-renowned colleges, cobbled streets, and stunning architecture. Enjoy some free time to soak up the atmosphere, browse local shops, or relax in a traditional tearoom before returning to London.

This shared coach tour is a comfortable, full-day experience with a professional guide providing fascinating insights at every stop. It’s perfect for history enthusiasts, literature lovers, and anyone wanting to experience some of England’s most iconic sights in one unforgettable day.
