Program details
The action-packed itinerary takes you to Windsor, the beautiful city of Bath, and the stunning Neolithic monument of Stonehenge.
The first stop of the day will be at Windsor, the small town on the bank of the Thames acclaimed for being the home of the majestic Windsor Castle, one of the official residences of King Charles. You will have free time to wander through the green streets of Windsor on your own.
Only if you have chosen the option with entrance to Windsor Castle will you be able to visit this icon by your own means. Steeped in history, Windsor Castle perches proudly on a lush wooded hill overlooking the Thames. Dating back to Norman times, with sweeping landscaped gardens and a turreted Round Tower, it’s easy to see why it’s the King’s favourite weekend residence, Royal Windsor. Enjoy a fascinating through–the–keyhole 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 visit Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, a truly incredible structure complete with working lifts, running water, electricity, and wine bottles, all in miniature!
Next up, we will head to Stonehenge, one of the most mysterious and fascinating of all megalithic monuments. Choose the option with a Stonehenge entrance ticket and uncover the secrets of this ancient monument at your own pace. 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.
Lastly, discover Bath, one of the most beautiful cities in England. Make the most of your free time here and visit its most popular landmarks such as the beautiful Gothic abbey or the picturesque Pulteney Bridge. If you prefer, choose the option with entrance to the Roman Baths and discover, by yourself, the best Roman ruins in the United Kingdom. Standing proudly on the slopes of the River Avon, beautiful Bath was the first city in England to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. The gorgeous 15th-century Bath Abbey, the stunning Georgian architecture, and the romantic Pulteney Bridge, modeled on Florence's Ponte Vecchio, are all sights to linger on in the memory of your day.
No tour of Bath would be complete without a visit to the famous Roman Baths that gave the city its name. This beautifully preserved bathing complex still flows with water from Britain’s only hot spring. Marvel at the dazzling torch–lighting ceremony as dusk falls (not applicable in summer) and sip Bath’s healing waters in the Pump Room, a stunning neo–classical salon.
The estimated arrival time back in London is around 8 pm.
