The trip on the rail was enjoyable and easy to manage. Warwick Castle was beautiful and enjoyable. The grounds are gorgeous . The only reason I put good instead of excellent was the disappointment in the dungeon tour. Many years ago, we visited and were able to observe the dungeons the way they were. We were actually able to feel the oppression. Now it's more like a fun house with the actors.

I have a fond relationship with castles, I love to explore them and try to imagine how it must of felt to live so long ago. The exercise up and down the walls and turrets was fantastic with rewarding views while catching one's breath. Such a complete Castle with a great show out by the water. I absolutely loved it. Thankyou for the experience ❤️

Highly recommend this tour as it covers a lot of great locations outside of London. Enjoyed how all the visitors were given some time on their own to explore and shop around after visiting the main sites. Wish there was more time allocated in Oxford as there are many things to do in the City - maybe a bit of time could be reduced from Warwick castle and allocated to Oxford. Overall an amazing experience and highly recommend this experience
