Detailed Description

This small semi private tour is for a maximum of 6 people per date and has limited availability for the summer 2014 dates.

Your Downton Abbey Themed vacation starts in London where you are able to stay in a traditional 4* hotel from where your driver would take you on a tour of the city to see many of the filming locations from all the series. Included in the tour is lunch at the famous Criterion Restaurant where Lady Edith first kissed her beau Michael Gregson. There is also an optional visit to a well known London Jazz Club in the evening.

Leave London behind, in the care of your driver guide, as you enjoy a visit to Greys Court, also known as Downton Place, and Basildon Park, the venue of the 2013 Christmas Special. Spend 2 nights in a traditional English country inn similar to where Lady Sybil eloped to with Branson.

The highlight of your tour is a visit to the real ?Downton Abbey. Highclere Castle where you are able to take a tour of the magnificent house and gardens all of which would be very familiar to real fans of the series.

Your return journey to London would include a visit to the beautiful Syon Park which also featured in the 2013 Christmas Special where Lady Mary met one of her suitors, Lord Gillingham, for lunch. Once back in London enjoy Afternoon Tea in the quintessentially English surroundings of Fortnum and Mason?s.
