My mom wanted to see the Cotswolds and the villages of Downton Abbey. We got so much more. Unfortunately Highclere was closed but Barry was open to consider other castle options and villages that filmed my mom’s other favorite shows including Father Brown. We emailed back and forth with ideas and places. With it being private, having the personal touch was key to this flexibility and making it so much more special. Barry knows his history and was a great conversationalist that really made the difference in the day not to mention mom is an older lady who’s not so quick on her feet which is an issue with the bigger group tours. Having the small taxi also helps navigate into villages that would’ve never been possible with the bigger tours. It was worth it and again, thank you Barry for a great day!

My siblings and I are huge fans of Downton Abbey, and we couldn’t have had a better experience! From the journey itself, in a comfortable taxi, accompanied by Barry, a very knowledgeable, friendly, and kind guide, who gave us the time we needed to appreciate the landscapes and places we visited. Highclere Castle is the icing on the cake of the day, but I’d like to point out that all the other stops are also extremely interesting, and the scenery is breathtaking. This experience is highly recommended for fans of the show, but even those who aren't will be amazed.

I was alone and Mr. Barry treated me like a Queen. I did the Downton Abbey tour and he was so knowledgeable of everything DA. He even took me to sights I had forgotten about. I saw everything I had hoped to and much more. Late afternoon he was talking about where we were going next and I finally said I was tired. So worth every penny I spent.
