Important
Notice About Astral Tours |
After
a decade of developing the small group day tour concept using small
minibuses and high quality guides, Astral Tours sadly ceased trading
in October 2007.
To fill the void and satisfy the demand for such tours from London,
an established company, International Friends are providing some of
Astral's most popular tour itineraries for the 2008 season using the
same small 16 seat buses that can visit the places the bigger buses
cannot go, together with high quality guides.
One of the tours operating in 2008 by International Friends is very
similar to the Bards & Battles Tour detailed here. The main difference
is that no visit is made to Warwick Castle, instead more time is spent
in the Cotswolds and Stratford upon Avon. |

Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare is steeped
in culture and history. Set in the beautiful rural Warwickshire countryside,
on the banks of the river Avon, it is one of the most important tourist
destinations in the UK. It is a town, small in size but large in history
and interest. The streets themselves hold a thousand delights with
the chemistry of the ages mixed in with the needs of today. |
