About This Tour
Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle perches proudly on a lush wooded hill overlooking the Thames. With its sweeping landscaped gardens and turreted Round Tower, it is easy to see why it is the King's favourite weekend residence. Enjoy a fascinating peek at the lavish State Apartments, home to priceless artworks by Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci, and visit St. George's Chapel - the atmospheric final resting place of former monarchs including Henry VIII. You can also visit Queen Mary's Dolls' House.
Mysterious Stonehenge
The true meaning of this ancient, awe-inspiring creation has been lost in the mists of time. Was Stonehenge a temple for sun worship, a healing centre, a burial site or perhaps a huge calendar? How did our ancestors manage to carry the mighty stones from so far away and then, using only the most primitive of tools, build this amazing structure? Surrounded by mystery, Stonehenge never fails to impress.
Oxford
Follow in the footsteps of Oxford's famous students, from C.S. Lewis to Bill Clinton, as you stroll the captivating college courtyards and cobbled lanes of this historic university town. Take in the famous city of dreaming spires and see the Bodleian Library - one of the oldest libraries in Europe - on your visit. You will be captivated by the unspoilt narrow alleys and ancient squares of this naturally beautiful town.
Estimated arrival time back in London is around 7:00 pm.

What Our Travellers Say
Our guide Mike was absolutely brilliant — full of wit, historical anecdotes, and genuine passion for Windsor's history. He made every stone and corridor come alive.
The atmosphere inside Windsor Castle is simply unlike anything else. You genuinely feel the weight of centuries as you walk through the State Apartments. Unmissable.
I've been on many castle tours, but the storytelling on this one was exceptional. From William the Conqueror to King Charles — the narrative never lost its thread.
Outstanding value. The ticket, the coach from London, expert guide and castle admission all bundled together — far cheaper and easier than piecing it together yourself.
The drive through the Thames Valley and Berkshire countryside was gorgeous. Arriving and seeing the Round Tower rising above Windsor town is a memory I'll treasure.
Windsor Castle blew me away compared to other English stately homes. It's a living palace — guards, flags, the whole spectacle. Nothing else quite compares.
