With Shakespeare and drive through Cotswolds - I really enjoyed this tour and it was really enough time to go through the Birthplace, Schoolroom and Hathaway's cottage with informative dialogue. We made a stop for bathroom and snack if needed. And in the afternoon a drive through the Cotswolds and a stop at Bourton-on-the-Water for Tea, Scones and some shopping. Maj and James did a great job.

Highly recommend this tour - Great tour, with strategic stops and with enough time to explore each place. Our guide, Dan, was amazing and told us several important historical facts during the tour, and it was noticed that she clearly knew about each topic. Our driver, Rex, was super friendly, and he drove very carefully the entire time. Also, I found very useful that we received identification bracelets with an "urgency phone number", so we can contact our guide if needed during our stops. Truly recommend this tour!
