Oxford, Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon Tour from London
Depart Victoria Coach Station by comfortable, air-conditioned coach, and travel to Stratford-upon-Avon, where William Shakespeare, England’s greatest playwright, was born in 1564. Head to Shakespeare's Schoolroom, attended by Shakespeare in the 1570s, and take a private tour before it opens to the general public, including a lesson in the schoolroom. Afterward, take some free time to explore this charming market town, famous for its half-timbered buildings and the theaters of the hallowed Royal Shakespeare Company. Perhaps take in the views of the pretty Avon River as its snakes past Holy Trinity church, the burial place of Shakespeare, and if you wish, visit other history-steeped sites such as Shakespeare’s childhood home or school. Have lunch (own expense) at your choice of the town's many cafes and restaurants, and then drive through the charming villages of the Cotswolds. Continue north to Oxford, one of England’s most beautiful cities and home to one of the world’s oldest and most renowned universities. On arrival, take a walking tour to admire the architectural and historical highlights of this glorious university city. Stroll around the honey-colored streets and passageways, and learn about the university’s famous colleges as you behold their ivy-bedecked walls, courtyards, chapels, and libraries. Afterward, reconvene with your guide and relax on your coach ride back to central London, where your tour concludes.
