    We absolutely loved this day tour from London. We were picked up at 7:45am in London and rode in a small (but comfortable) van with about 20 others. Our tour guide provided commentary. We stopped at Coggs Farm, which was a 1000 year old farm. This was charming in and of itself, in addition to the Downton connection. Then we traveled to the small town of Bampton, where we toured the old church and town area. It was easy to visualize the filming of the show here. Then we drove a ways through the Cotswolds, which was charming. Our guide commented on the area. We arrived at Highclere Castle, where we had a tour inside some of the rooms that were on the show. Most notably, the staircase, the library, the dining room, the hallway, and several of the upstairs bedrooms. We learned about the history of the castle along side some of the stories about filming of Downton. It was really a good blend of the "show" as well as history of the mansion and its origination. Another surprise was the Egyptian exhibit, which is in the basement. This exhibit was remarkable and quite unexpected. After the tour, we were given a "high tea" luncheon, which included sandwiches, desserts and tea. We could then explore the outside area. We then left Highclere Castle around 4pm and were in London by 6pm. I thought this day was wonderful, and well worth the price. I am a Downton Abbey fan, but there were a few people on the tour that must watch the show multiple times based upon their knowledge of the locations. Overall, this was a wonderful excursion out of busy London which provided a glimpse into the Cotswolds and the beautiful filming locations. Highly recommend. Loved this day trip!!
