This full-day coach tour lasts about 10 and a half hours and starts with a visit to Warwick Castle. The castle has more than a thousand years of history and sits on 64 acres beside the River Avon. Visitors can explore the State Rooms, the Great Hall with collections of armor and medieval weapons, and the 14th-century dungeon where prisoners left graffiti centuries ago. After Warwick Castle, the tour goes to Stratford-upon-Avon for a 90-minute visit. This market town is known as William Shakespeare's birthplace. There is an optional 45-minute visit to Shakespeare's Birthplace, a 16th-century half-timbered house with displays of rare artefacts and stories about Shakespeare's family life. Next, the coach travels through the Cotswolds, covering nearly 800 square miles across five counties, as part of the largest designated Area of Natural Beauty in the UK. There is no stop in any village in the Cotswolds, but passengers can take photos of the countryside during the panoramic drive. The final stop is in Oxford for a 90-minute walking tour led by an expert guide. Oxford is home to the University of Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world, and features architecture from Saxon times to the present. Highlights include the Bridge of Sighs, Trinity College, the Ashmolean Museum, and the Sheldonian Theatre. Additional points of interest mentioned are Christ Church College, known for its architecture and its role as the UK's smallest cathedral, the Bodleian Library with over 12 million items, and Hertford Bridge, also called the Bridge of Sighs. The tour includes a superior coach with WiFi and USB charging, a guide, entry to Shakespeare's Birthplace and Warwick Castle if those options are selected, panoramic drive through the Cotswolds, and personal audio headsets. Lunch and entry tickets are not included unless the corresponding options are chosen.
