Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Stonehenge, Amesbury SP4 7DE England
Step back 5,000 years in time to prehistoric Britain as our guide helps bring the history of this fascinating monument to life. Who built Stonehenge? Why was it built? Discover the answer to these questions and the monument’s fascinating link to the Summer and Winter solstice. Come face-to-face with a 5,500-year-old man and visit the world-class exhibition centre, with 250 ancient objects on display.
Duration: 1 hour
Pass By: Christ Church, St. Aldates, Oxford OX1 1DP England
Christ Church is a constituent college of the University of Oxford in England. Christ Church is a joint foundation of the college and the Cathedral of the Oxford diocese, which serves as the college chapel and whose dean is ex officio the college head.

The Bodleian Library is the main research library of the University of Oxford, and is one of the oldest libraries in Europe. With over 12 million items, it is the second-largest library in Britain after the British Library.
Stop At: Windsor Castle, Castle Hill, Windsor SL4 1PD England
Our first stop is Windsor Castle, the ancestral home of the British Royal family for more than 900 years and the largest, continuously occupied castle in Europe. Marvel at the splendour of the State Apartments, the grandest apartments in England, where paintings by Van Dyck and Rubens hang from the walls and the ceilings are painted with elaborate, magnificent murals.
Step inside St George’s Chapel, where HRH Prince Harry married Ms Meghan Markle and the tombs of prominent previous monarchs are located, including Henry VIII and Charles I. Don’t miss a colourful display of typical British pageantry that takes place every morning at the Changing the Guard ceremony, where the handover of duties between guards to the Queen takes place. If Her Majesty is in Windsor during your visit, you may be lucky enough to see the Royal Standard flying on the flagpole of the Round Tower.

Loved every minute. Catia our guide was wonderful, so much knowledge. She was a non stop source of information with a great sense of humor.
I really enjoyed the visit to these three place, especially Stonehenge. The time that you have in each plave is enough, and the guide Saul Zamora was great. The only 'but': The coach (bus) was not very comfortable.
Three classic — must see — sights in England in a single day trip. Early start assured us of early entry to Windsor Castle avoiding long lines later in the morning. Stonehenge visit was made most informative by our archeologically trained guide! Very knowledgeable. Walking tour of Oxford capped a fun-filled day. This is a tour worth scheduling; unlike some, you cannot do this on your own. We had a large group and they handled it well. Only negative comment is that tour organizers need to plan for odd family groupings by not trying to fill EVERY seat on the bus. With NO flexibility, and every seat filled, some family groups and couples were unable to be seated together. For what the tour costs, the tour company doesn’t need to squeeze every £ out of each tour by filling every seat. I hope they are listening and not merely future tour participants.
This is a great “taste of” tour of 3 major attractions. It was a full day and a lot take in. We wouldn’t have been able to do it on our own. Our guide, Rhys, and driver, Colin, kept us informed, entertained and on schedule.
Great tour of Windsor, Stonehenge and oxford. The ride was comfortable. Plenty of time at each location. Tour guide was very knowledgeable.
It was a lot to cover in one day and our tour guide Robert and excellent driver Nadia did an amazing job. Robert shared so much information in such a conversational way (no lectures) that the time between sights flew by. I would have loved to have more time in Windsor and Oxford, but really not possible when attempting to visit all 3 places in one day.
Our tour guide KATYA was amazing , and very helpful . Thanks Katya!!! Not to forget our driver NICHOLAS!!! Thank you for getting us safe. I wish there’s information on who’s going to be the guide so that I will check first if it’s Katya...:) The tour itself had limited time to explore each site but enough to see some and take pics.
We had a great time but not enough time at Windsor Castle. We arrived a little after 9 and had to wait in line for opening at 9:30 and by the time we got to security, it was already 10 and we were supposed to be back at the bus by 10:10. Our guide then changed to meet at 10:30 but we had to rush through the rooms. At Stonehenge we had 1 1/2 hours and this could have been shortened. Oxford was good and the guide was very informative. Would recommend this tour if you are looking for an overall picture of the sites.
Nigel and the bus driver were great his knowledge of the sites and his attention to detail allowed us to enjoy the tour and have some great memories!
Our tour guide was especially nice and very amiable. The driver was very good. Got to witness the changeing of the guards at Windsor. Oxford was enigmatic! I'm from the Philippines and this was a dream trip. I definitely recommend. A must try when in London. I left some souvenir Items I bought on the bus. They were returned to me the following day.
It was a lovely day trip, and the guide Anthony and the driver Michelangelo are polite people who did their job very professionally, along with being kind and patient with the passengers. I was in a big and diverse group of passengers, and that was nice. It is a good option for those who wish to get an overview of the places (about 1.5 hrs each) for a reasonable price. Anthony is a guide with an Oxford degree (so he knows the place pretty well) and a person with traditional values, who is very passionate about history, as well as his country, and he loves to share his knowledge. So if you are looking for something like that- this is a tour for you. You are welcomed to ask all sorts of questions and get great recommendations from a local person with good taste. I would recommend bringing some (cold) food and drinks with you, because you won`t have much time to buy it. Also, when they show you the toilets and suggest you use them, that is the time to do it if you can, because there aren`t many opportunities along the way.
This was an insightful trip packed into one day. Busy and long day but our tour guide David and driver Steve made the day interesting, fun and I left with a taste of all three which made me want to discover more. Definitely a great day
Roan (our guide) and Barry (our driver) were a great team. Both were personable and knowledgeable - ensuring we had a great time. Highly recommend them!
Our tour guide, Phil, was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. He was a delight. Our driver, Mark terrific.
Love the places that I booked, Katya is very knowledgeable of the places where we went. She had a lot of patience when a passenger was left behind and communicated with other tour guides for assistance.
The Guide and Driver are very professional Very informative tour provided by a knowledgable senior Tour Guide
It is a jam packed day and very rushed. I was very disappointed in the lack of time at Windsor Castle. The other thing that they should have said was that the tour was in English and Japanese. You felt like there was no down time to absorb what the tour guide was saying because she was constantly talking in English or Japanese.
The bus terminal in Paris is quite large with two different buildings so it took us a while before we located the right tour bus. It would have been helpful if the tour instructions included the gate number. Other than that, we really enjoyed the trip. Phil our tour guide was so knowledgeable and interesting. He kept us entertained with facts and stories for the whole day especially during the bus ride to our destinations. The line at Windsor Castle was quite long but while in line Phil told us in detail about the first few audio stops so we were able to skip those and quickly move on to the heart of the castle. The tour instructions told us to bring a lunch but this was not necessary as it was easy to pick up sandwiches and snacks as we left Windsor castle and walked back to the bus. Only disappointment was that we arrived too late in the day to go to King Cross college in Oxford. But Phil gave a good walking tour with time to stop at a few shops. Riding back to London, the driver navigated us easily through the streets to give us a bit of a tour of different areas around London such as Notting Hill. To end a great tour, Phil recommended SeaFresh restaurant and told us how to get there from the bus station. It was an awesome meal. Phil was the perfect English tour guide and he definitely made the day trip enjoyable and memorable.
Wonderful tour of these 3 places - really enjoyed Windsor Castle and Oxford Day Trip as these were places I wanted to visit for many years. Worth doing!
