Stratford Upon Avon & Warwick Castle
Private Day Tour from London
Shakespeare's hometown and a medieval fortress.
Discover 1,000 years of English history in one day. Step into the world of William Shakespeare in the charming market town of Stratford-upon-Avon, then explore the towers and ramparts of Warwick Castle. This private 8-hour day tour takes care of all the travel, so you can simply relax and enjoy.
Your private tour begins with pickup from your Central London hotel or residence at 8:00 AM, arriving in Stratford-upon-Avon at around 10:15 AM for about 1.5 hours. Visit Shakespeare's Birthplace, the half-timbered house on Henley Street where the playwright was born and grew up, then stroll through the historic town centre to the River Avon and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
Then travel 20 minutes to Warwick Castle, arriving at around 12:00 PM for the final stop of the day. Walk the ancient ramparts, climb the towers for views over the River Avon, explore the Great Hall and State Rooms, and discover the castle's dungeons and medieval history, with time for lunch at the castle (2 hours).
At each stop, your driver will wait with your belongings while you explore and take photos. At around 2:00 PM, we'll leave Warwick and begin the return journey, arriving back in London at around 4:00 PM, with drop-off at your original pickup point or another Central London address.
