Nothing as my tour was cancelled! I therefore missed out on seeing the Cotswolds and where Downton Abby was filmed, which I had booked my visit around. I was not given other options for the same tour. I ended up taking a train to Blenheim Palace on my own. I requested a refund immediately upon notification of cancellation and received a response that they would work on it, but have not received a refund yet. And now you are asking how the tour went? This is nuts.

Immerse yourself in its old-world charm as you view iconic spots like Isobel Crawley's home and the Downton Cottage Hospital. Soon after, Bourton-on-the-Water awaits, often referred to as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds' due to its picturesque river bisecting the village.
