Sobre esta atividade

Deixe Marble Arch em Londres em uma minivan com ar condicionado e viaje para oeste em direção às colinas de pedra calcária de Oxfordshire. No caminho, seu guia o manterá entretido com contos e anedotas sobre a série de TV Downton Abbey que tem fãs espalhados por todo o mundo.

Filmado principalmente dentro e nos arredores de Oxfordshire, o drama do período britânico de Downton Abbey documenta os dramas e escândalos da fictícia família Crawley e de seus servos nos dias que levam até e após a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Ouça revelações sobre personagens como Lady Mary e descubra fatos pouco conhecidos sobre os locais das filmagens incluídos em sua excursão. Faça uma parada em uma fazenda aninhada nas montanhas perto de Cogges e desfrute de uma bebida quente (por conta do visitante) no rústico café da fazenda antes de descobrir alguns dos locais de filmagem da propriedade.

Continue até Bampton em Cotswolds, uma vila quintessencialmente inglesa que foi usada amplamente como a vila de Downton durante toda a série. Em uma excursão a pé, veja a igreja do vilarejo, o local do casamento de Lady Mary com Matthew Crawley, e a casa que foi usada como o lar da família Crawley. Passeie ao longo da rua principal, observando as lojas usadas na filmagem, bem como os locais como o fictício pub Grantham Arms.

Viaje para continuar até o Castelo de Highclere, um dos locais de filmagem mais conhecidos de Downton, para explorar com o seu guia. Caminhe ao redor da luxuosa propriedade que circunda o castelo, composta pelo Jardim do monge, a Fronteira branca, o Jardim secreto e o Bosque da boa vontade, e ouça tudo sobre o papel do Castelo de Highclere lar da família Grantham.

Desfrute de um tempo livre para almoçar ou comer um lanche nas salas de chá do local que servem comida feita na cozinha do castelo, e, em seguida, adentre o Castelo de Highclere para explorar cada uma das suas salas. Veja as salas de jantar, de música e de fumar em que os semelhantes de Lady Sybil agraciaram com a sua presença, e aprenda tudo sobre a verdadeira família proprietária do Castelo de Highclere desde o final do século XVII: os Carnarvons.

Após explorar outras áreas do impressionante local de filmagem, como as Escadarias vermelhas, o salão, a galeria e os quartos, retorne para sua minivan com seu guia. Relaxe na sua viagem de volta para Londres e termine seu passeio de um dia com desembarque na Estação de Trem Victoria.

In the states Tony would have his own TV show- he’s personable, witty and has a wealth of knowledge that should be put in an available tour book.. not kidding, we all would buy it! Great Day- Do It!

That is about where I can leave this review. I loved the option of a small tour, which is why I went for this tour. Unfortunately, the tour guide just wasn't the best I've had. She would ramble and go off topic when trying to explain the itinerary for the day. Then there were no bathroom breaks or stops for water. The tour was rushed in the morning because the buses were running late, then we were forced to get to the castle quickly after a 90 min drive. Then requested to follow the tour guide for a tour of gardens, instead of allowing people to break for a drink or toilets before seeing the castle. At the village, we were forced to listen to ramblings of the town for 20 mins, no open facility to get drinks or use the toilet. The final stop at Coggs Manor, the tour guide made us follow her to a documentary for Downtown Abbey at the farm, but then complained about waiting for people to use the restroom before hand. Did not leave a good taste in my mouth.

Highclere Castle was definitely the star of this show. The brilliant building and gorgeously sprawling grounds were everything my fiancee and I expected and more. Tony made sure to heighten our expectations from Yew Tree Farm, To Bampton, to Downton Abbey itself. He really knew what he was talking about and provided lots of interesting new information for even the most ardent Downton Abbey fan. It would have great if any of the cast were inadvertently present to greet us. Hey, nothing wrong with wishful thinking.

Driver/guide Tony L. was very knowledgeable about the tv series, filming process, and locations as well as being skilful driving on very narrow roadways. Wonderful to visit Clogges Manor Farm, Brampton and Highclere Castle. Had 3 hours at Castle so not rushed. Lots to see there re: the beautiful castle, its estate and the museum re: Earl of Carnavons connection to discovery of King Tutankhamens burial chamber. Castles own guides very informative too.

This tour did not disappoint. Tony was an excellent guide and had lots of good information to share, and our driver, Daniel, was timely and efficient. I highly recommend a small group tour instead of a big bus tour to see Highclere Castle and the other sights. The crowds were relatively small the day of our tour so I really got to see everything I wanted to see without having to wait or stand in line.

A thoroughly enjoyable tour with a well-informed, experienced guide and driver who took us first through the Cotswolds, stopping at the farmhouse used in filming as well as the village of Bampton Downton Abbey village before getting to Highclere Castle. It was raining most of the day nevertheless, we had a very interesting tour of the house and grounds and time for tea. Having followed the Downton Abbey series, it felt like being at home. Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful time with a small group. Our guide was very informative and funny. The driver was most accomplished.

Our tour guide, Debra, really made the trip. She is full of life and very knowledgeable. If at all possible I advise the small group tour as you can go places the big bus can not get to.

We saw all the settings where filming was done, as well as the castle. Debbie, our tour director, was knowledgeable and was around when some of the filming was done. She is a delight, and Caroline, our driver, was competent and upbeat. This tour lasts about 12 hours, but the time flies. HIghly recommended.
