Da sapere su questa attività

Lascia Marble Arch a bordo di un minivan dotato di aria condizionata, e viaggia in direzione ovest verso le colline di pietra calcarea dell'Oxfordshire. Durante il viaggio, la guida ti intratterrà con racconti e curiosità sulla serie TV Downton Abbey, seguita in tutto il mondo.

Girata soprattutto in Oxfordshire e dintorni, la serie TV britannica in costume Downton Abbey documenta i drammi e gli scandali della famiglia immaginaria dei Crawley e dei loro domestici nei periodi precedenti e successivi allo scoppio della Prima guerra mondiale. Ascolta pettegolezzi su personaggi come Lady Mary e scopri fatti poco conosciuti riguardo alle location delle riprese incluse nel tour. Fermati in una fattoria tra le colline vicino a Cogges e gusta una bevanda calda (non inclusa) nel suo rustico cafe prima di visitare alcune delle location delle riprese lì attorno.

Continua per Bampton, nei Cotswolds, tipica cittadina inglese ampiamente utilizzata come location della cittadina di Downton per tutta la durata della serie. Con un tour a piedi, visita la chiesa dove Lady Mary ha sposato Matthew Crawley, e la casa una volta utilizzata come dimora della famiglia Crawley. Passeggia lungo la strada principale, individuando i negozi utilizzati per le riprese e il pub fittizio Grantham Arms.

Prosegui per Highclere Castle, una delle location delle riprese più conosciute, che esplorerai con la guida. Cammina per la sontuosa tenuta che circonda il castello e che comprende Monk’s Garden, White Border, Secret Garden e Wood of Goodwill, e scopri l'ambientazione della casa della famiglia Grantham.

Avrai un po' di tempo libero per pranzare o gustare uno spuntino nelle sale da tè interne, che servono cibo dalle cucine del castello, quindi entra all'interno di Highclere Castle per esplorare ciascuno dei saloni. Visita le sale da pranzo, da musica e da fumo che persone come Lady Sybil onoravano con la propria presenza, e scopri tutto quello che c'è da sapere sui veri proprietari di Highclere Castle sin dalla fine del XVII secolo: i Carnarvons.

Dopo aver visitato altre interessanti location delle riprese, come ad esempio le Red Stairs, il salone, la galleria e le camere da letto, torna al minivan assieme alla guida. Rilassati durante il viaggio di ritorno a Londra; la gita giornaliera termina con il rientro presso la stazione ferroviaria 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.
