Small Group Tour - Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor
What your day looks like
Start the day with a drive into the ancient county of Wessex, through the chalk hills that surround Stonehenge. Arriving at this prehistoric site as it opens, and before the crowds arrive, enjoy a fully guided visit to the historic Stone Circle. Learn of the building methods and the possible purpose of the monument, while your guide discusses what is known and what may never be known about the site. Admire its powerful presence, then take some time to experience the excellent visitor center before continuing west to the Roman city of Bath. Tour highlights in the UNESCO-listed city of Bath include the hot springs, the remains of the 2,000-year-old Roman baths, and the Roman Temple. Follow in the footsteps of the Romans themselves along the pretty streets, and perhaps stop for lunch in one of the city’s elegant tea rooms. You’ll also explore the 18th-century crescents and Georgian squares, built as Bath became a social center for high society and the landed gentry — with bathing, dining, dancing, and all manner of entertainment and relaxation. The final stop on your day trip from London is Windsor, home to the oldest and largest continuously occupied castle in the world. Here, you'll have time to visit Windsor Castle, including the state apartments, reception rooms, and the Royal Chapel of St George — the final resting place of many of our kings and queens. On your return to London, your driver will drop you at Victoria Train Station in the city center. This is one of the largest transport stations in London, with excellent connections to all parts of London and beyond.

What travelers are saying
This tour was amazing. Our guide, Jinni, was great! So was so knowledgeable! We truly enjoyed her and our driver Dominque as well. It is well worth the extra "pounds" for this tour. We did another tour through this same company and she was our guide for a second time! Highly recommend them!
This was fun, but it was a long day so be prepared, take yourself water and a snack. There are places to grab coffee, etc on your way. Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor were all great sights and places. Guide was knowledgeable, informative and driver was courteous and safe. Worth your time if these things are of interest to you.
Excellent itinerary, and the guide was amazing
Our day trip to Stonehenge, the city of Bath and Windsor was wonderful. Each spot offered something unique. Stonehenge was unique and mind boggling wondering how people built this a thousand years ago. The city of Bath was charming. We had the opportunity to have lunch at a quaint restaurant by the abbey and experienced fudge making at the local fudgery. We couldn’t resist buying some for later consummation. The last stop of the day was Windsor where we soaked up royal history and viewed the Crown Jewels. Our day ran smoothly and our guide was quite entertaining.
Great tour, loved the small group- like 16- 20 people, guide was good, small bus/ shuttle was comfortable. Felt like we wanted much more time in Bath- it was a very scenic town - we didn't have enough time to eat- we literally had to throw our quiche down our throats and then run to the shuttle. Stonehenge was good- we got there when it first opened. Windsor Castle was amazing- terrific visit there and in the town. The tour left early like 8-830 and returned around 6- 630.
Great tour, lots to see, guide was very knowledgeable
Edward is likely the best tour guide we have ever had for any tour! His specific expertise with regard to Stonehenge made the tour an incredibly unique learning experience. He also has a great sense of humor to bring some lightness to the ride since you spend quite some time on the bus on this journey. There was a few mishaps with wrong turns, and they drop you off at a spot very far away from where you meet in the morning. The change in drop off location was not shared until the tour was over and we were on our way back to London. Would have appreciated knowing that ahead of time as we had plans in the area we thought we would be dropped off at which we were not able to make since we were dropped off 45 minutes away after the tour. That is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Thank you to Edward for making it a great experience.
It’s was a very informative tour. We loved our guide Edward. We were happy that we were able to visit all 3 places.
