“Good coverage of sites and commentary by the hard working guide. This otherwise great tour was marred by a small number of tourists who talked incessantly the entire day. Unfortunately this was irritating. These tour operators should routinely remind all participants of the need to be considerate of those around them.”

Follow Downton Abbey from Yew Tree Farm and Bampton to Highclere Castle on an 11-hour small-group day trip from London.

“Love that this tour includes Yew Tree farm. Amount of time in each place was perfect. The guide was very nice. The only down side was how cramped the van was. It was completely full tour and the four people were very very tight and uncomfortable in the back row. All van seats are incredibly small. If you are a taller or larger person this tour is not for you.”

“We were super satisfied with the whole tour. Our tour guide (Russel) was absolutely the best! He made it an unforgettable experience for us. We came to England just to participate in this tour and definitely didn’t regret it. I mean, come on have you ever met anyone who is not only funny and enthusiastic but also writes a song to the theme by himself and then presents it?! Russel was well prepared and put so much effort into the tour. He made it interactive and very interesting. We enjoyed every second. There is a lot depending on your your guide, that’s for sure. Thank you so much!”

“Great tour and our tour guide Andrew was very fun and informative. How can you go wrong with Downton Abbey tour? Only disappointment was the size of our group. We had 46 and two other groups to Downton at the same time as us had 12-14 each. We were under the impression it was to be a small tour bus.”

Explore Downton Abbey filming sites, Highclere Castle, and Cotswold villages on a private London day tour with Barry Tours UK.

“If I could give Barry one million stars, I would! Despite Highclere not being open to the public the day we booked our tour (boo!), Barry made our day and adventures so wonderful. We stopped in several villages in the Cotswolds to shop and he took us to a garden center cafe for lunch. He never rushed us at all, but instead allowed us to meander through the towns at our own pace. The highlight, of course, was stopping at the “Downton Abbey Village,” where we saw several locations used during the show’s filming. He was so kind to take pictures of our group, even without us asking. At one…”
