Stratford-upon-Avon is forever synonymous with history and culture. A medieval market town in England’s West Midlands, is the 16th-century birthplace of William Shakespeare. Possibly the most famous writer in the English language, Shakespeare is known for his sonnets and plays such as 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'Hamlet'. The Royal Shakespeare Company performs his plays in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and adjacent Swan Theatre on the banks of the River Avon.

This is real-life ‘Shakespeare in Love’. Originally a farmhouse, this was the site where Wills courted Anne, who would later become Mrs Shakespeare. The pretty cottage has its original furniture and features, and the romantic gardens are the stuff sonnets are made of.

Stop At: Cotswolds, Cotswolds, England

EXPLORE COTSWOLD
Cotswold stone towns and villages. There is so much history to take in that you’ll be sure to find a historic story that rewards your interests. 'Cotswolds' is a combination of two very old English words. Everyone's pretty much agreed that 'Wolds' are gentle hills. And most people agree that 'Cots' are sheep enclosures. So 'Cotswolds' probably just means an area of gentle hills with plenty of sheep around. The Cotswolds hills are criss-crossed with dry stone walls. The picturesque Cotswold landscape is completed with hidden river valleys and distinctive market towns and villages made of the famous Cotswold stone. Many Cotswold villages have enigmatic names such as The Slaughters, Stow-on-the-Wold,

1. Driver was late to pick us up by 8minutes with no apology 2. He was rude, combative, and raised his voice several times to talk over us. Not flexible or accommodating when we first met him. Horrible initial experience/demeanor. 3. There were dirty/used waters in the back seat which he cleaned while we were there, not before. 4. He parked far away for all experiences so we had to walk and find him. Not a true private driver or ideal experience. This wasted time and should have been door to door. 5. Knew nothing about the area and offered no guidance. This was not a “private tour” but a private driver. When asked, “what church is that?” His response was “every town has a church, it’s not a famous one.”
