Windsor, Oxford, and Stonehenge Tour
What your day looks like
Take a day trip by coach to these historical landmarks in the UK to learn more about the intriguing history of the royal family, English history and culture, and to see breathtaking views of the countryside. Windsor Castle It’s hard to believe that the imposing Windsor Castle is a working royal residence. But pay a visit to this lavish fortress, and you’ll soon discover why it was Queen Elizabeth II's favourite weekend home! Overlooking the Thames and a stone’s throw away from the charming Windsor town, the castle has been a fixture on the landscape for almost 1000 years. During this visit, you’ll be able to peek inside the luxurious State Apartments, where 39 monarchs have lived since the castle was built. Keep your eyes open for priceless artwork on the walls by Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt! You’ll also get to explore St George’s Chapel — the setting for many royal weddings and the final resting place of many monarchs, including Queen Elizabeth II and the notorious Henry VIII. Stonehenge Look out for the mysterious Stonehenge as you approach Salisbury Plain — you’ll be able to get up close to the 5,000-year-old monument during this visit to the Neolithic stones. Sitting strikingly on the landscape, Stonehenge’s origins have puzzled experts for hundreds of years. During your visit, you’ll get a chance to discover many fascinating theories and attempt to make up your own mind and solve the mystery yourself. Don’t forget to visit the exhibition, where 250 archaeological objects are displayed! Walking Tour of Oxford Stroll through the quaint cobbled streets of Oxford and get a real feel for this historic city. During your guided walking tour, you’ll get to wander through the charming college courtyards, which can be found dotted throughout the city, including that of Christ Church. If you’re a fan of Harry Potter, you’ll recognise this college from several famous scenes. The tour guide will also take you to see the famous 17th-century Bodleian Library, a huge library packed with research and literature. An Oxford visit wouldn’t be complete without visiting the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford University, whose gifted alumni include T. S. Eliot, Hugh Grant and Bill Clinton! The estimated arrival time back to London is around 7pm. Windsor Castle is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

What travelers are saying
Excellent tour! Guide stuck to schedule and we got to each destination.
This tour was amazing! Our guide was great and kept us on schedule so that we didn't miss anything! Stonehenge was a bucket list item and was great! I would recommend not quite as much time there so that there is more time for Windsor. The castle was spectacular and quite exciting to see. We did have to rush a bit there to get back to the bus. The 3rd stop was in Oxford. We skipped the walking tour here and had a few drinks in a pub (which was awesome). If scheduling, I would recommend only 2 stops so that you can enjoy more time at each. Otherwise, this would have been a 5 STAR Review as we had a great time!
Last minute change was accepted and we enjoyed excellent and knowledgable tour guide Chris. If it was for him only we would give 5 star rating. However, no one mentioned that the chapel in Windsor was closed on Sunday and our plan to see Queen Elizabeth’s and King Henry the VIiI tomb …. especially my wife…. was never accomplished!
