“The time spent traveling in bus is too long. Ticket price should have included Roman Bath entrance. By the time one reaches Stratford upon Avon, the shops and restaurants are closing down, so hardly anything to do after the “Schoolroom Class”. There should have been a guided walking tour in this town. Also tour description…”
