Acerca de esta actividad

Salga de Marble Arch, en Londres, en un monovolumen con aire acondicionado y viaje hacia el oeste hasta las ondulantes colinas de piedra caliza de Oxfordshire. Durante el viaje, el guía le contará historias y anécdotas sobre la serie de televisión Downton Abbey, que cuenta con aficionados en todo el mundo.

Rodada en su mayor parte en Oxfordshire y sus inmediaciones, el drama de época británico Downton Abbey documenta los dramas y escándalos de la ficticia familia Crawley y sus sirvientes en los días previos y posteriores a la Primera Guerra Mundial. Escuche cotilleos de personajes como Lady Mary y descubra hechos poco conocidos sobre las localizaciones de rodaje incluidas en el recorrido. Haga una parada en una granja ubicada en las colinas cerca de Cogges y disfrute de una bebida caliente (por su cuenta) en su rústica cafetería antes de descubrir algunos de los lugares de rodaje de la granja.

Continúe hasta Bampton, en los Costwolds, un pueblo inglés por excelencia que aparece como Downton durante toda la serie. En un recorrido a pie, podrá ver la iglesia del pueblo, donde se casan Lady Mary y Mateo Crawley, y la casa que se utilizó como hogar de la familia Crawley. Dé un paseo por la calle principal, visitando las tiendas que aparecieron en el rodaje, así como puntos de interés como el pub ficticio Grantham Arms.

Continúe el recorrido hasta Highclere Castle, una de las localizaciones de rodaje de Downton más conocidas, para explorarlo con su guía. Pasee por el lujoso terreno que rodea el castillo, que incluye Monk’s Garden, White Border, Secret Garden y el Wood of Goodwill, y escuche todo lo relacionado con el papel de Highclere Castle como hogar de la familia Grantham.

Disfrute de tiempo libre para almorzar o tomar un aperitivo en los salones de té del lugar, en los que se sirve comida de las cocinas del castillo, y entre en Highclere Castle para explorar cada uno de sus salones. Vea el comedor, la sala de música y la sala de fumadores que personajes de la talla de Lady Sybil honraron con su presencia, y conozca todos los detalles sobre la verdadera familia a la que ha pertenecido el castillo desde el siglo XVII: los Carnarvon.

Después de explorar nuevas zonas del impresionante emplazamiento del rodaje, como la escalera roja, el salón, la galería y las habitaciones, regrese al monovolumen con el guía. Relájese en el viaje de regreso a Londres y termine la excursión de un día con el traslado hasta la estación de tren de 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.
