The tour was great. Andrew did an exceptional job. He was very informed and very attentive to our needs. It was especially nice that he had video clips from the series of the sites we visited so you could easily see the before and after of each site.

Greg was a great guide who showed us much more than we expected. Combined with the guided tour & lunch at Highclere Castle and the tour of the villages it was a great experience, one we will remember forever.

This was a wonderful experience, whether you are a fan of the Downton Abbey program or not. I can’t say enough about our driver, Andrew. He was professional, knowledgeable and very engaging. Downton Abbey was an amazing experience and afterwards, the tea was a real treat on the premises. The extra time to the town of Bampton and Downton Abbey filming sites, as well as the ‘behind the scenes’ stories, enhanced the day.
