Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Overall, our trip was wonderful! We had some small issues, that the help desk took care of very quickly! All of our drivers and tour guides were personable and took great care of us! I would be happy to use this travel company in the future!

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Our private tours were amazing! One guide took us to Windsor Castle and gave us a wonderful tour, sharing his vast knowledge with us. Another tour guide and our driver took us to Bampton, the farm and Highclere castle! The day was enjoyable! For future travelers, I would recommend taking lunch with you or be sure to buy something substantial at the farm. Hightclere castle's choices were limited and they stop serving anything hot at 2pm. Our walking tour of London with our guide was wonderful! He was a joy to talk with, showing us many historic London sites, as well as various movie sites, not just Downton Abbey. Our driver and tour guide in Cornwall was a delight. Very personable and knowledgeable of all things Doc Martin and County Cornwall history. He was very helpful when our train to Bath was cancelled.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

The thing I would do differently, is make sure that we had a lunch to take with us to Highclere castle. Not realizing how limited the offerings were at Highclere castle, we cut things a little short. It may be helpful for the tour guide and driver to have lunch arranged at a pub between Bampton/the farm and Hightclere castle.
Also, I would pay better attention to the return train. I didn't realize that we needed to change trains in Bristol Meade to get a train to Bath. In order to avoid changing trains, I would have insisted on pickup at Bristol Meade. Due to the cancellation of our train out of Bodmin Parkway, we were able to request pickup at Bristol Meade. This was very helpful and avoided a change to another train.
