About this activity

You will be met by your guide and board your comfortable air conditioned coach departing from central London at 9am. You will receive informative commentary about the show and the locations you visit on your journey out to Oxfordshire where the first stop of the day will be the beautiful village of Bampton. Here you will be given a fully guided walking tour of the village which was featured as Downton village and you will be able to spot the post office, church, Matthews house and many other familiar sites.

Following a tour of the village you will re board the coach and head to the grand finale of the day - Highclere Castle. Here you will have approximately 3 hours to explore the house and grounds of the castle with the aid of our own self guided leaflet which gives details of what was filmed in each room of the castle.

At Highclere there will be a chance for you to take lunch (not included) and get some wonderful souvenirs from the shop. Finally your coach will return you to central London where the day trip ends.

This was a great tour and well worth the time and money. The tour bus was clean. We were able to watch episodes of Downton Abbey while travelling. It made the time go by more quickly. The tour guides were knowledgeable and willing to answer any and all questions. They had pictures from the show to associate places we were seeing in the town with what were shown in the show. An amazing day and a definite highlight to my trip.

This tour was the highlight of our trip to the U.K. We had an amazing day with Amber, our so much fun and full of energy tour guide, and Jimmy, our wonderful driver. The visit to Bampton then to Highclere Castle were just spectacular and the King Tut exhibit in the basement was an added bonus!
