Itinerary
Your coach will leave from the designated meeting point at 8am sharp – make sure you’re there minimum 15 minutes before to check in! The first stop of your adventure will be the world’s oldest and largest occupied castle, Windsor Castle, where you will arrive at approximately 9:30am. With its sweeping landscaped gardens and a striking round tower, it's easy to see why Windsor Castle is King favourite weekend residence. Enjoy wandering through the lavish State Apartments - home to priceless artworks by Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci and many more - and visit the beautiful St. George's Chapel, the final resting place of former monarchs including Henry VIII and the wedding venue of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle!
Step inside St George’s Chapel, located on the sprawling grounds, where notorious King Henry VIII and his favourite wife, Jane Seymour, are buried, as are Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. St. George's Chapel is one of the finest examples of gothic architecture in England. It has been the setting for many royal weddings and is the burial place of ten sovereigns. The Chapel is dedicated to the patron saint of the Order of the Garter. Britain's highest Order of Chivalry. *St. George’s Chapel is closed to visitors on Sundays as services are held throughout the day. Worshippers are welcome to attend the services. These occur at the following times: 08:30 – Holy Communion 10:45 – Mattins and Sermon 11:45 – Sung Eucharist 17:15 – Evensong
This 17th-century historic masterpiece building is situated in the High Street, only 100 metres from Castle Hill. Prince Charles married Camilla Parket Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall at Windsor Guildhall in 2005.
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, this prehistoric monument never fails to impress!
Pass by the romantic Pulteney Bridge, modeled on Florence's Ponte Vecchio.
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. Get a glimpse of how the Romans liked to unwind and see for yourself if Bath’s waters really do have healing powers by tasting a sip in the Pump Room, a stunning neo-classical salon.

This tour is an excellent way to see some of England's most iconic sites (outside of London) in one day. My guide was Pauly, and he was amazing. Although the group was large, Pauly personalized the experience for everyone. He did a great job explaining all of the different sites. The driver was Armando, and he also did a great job of getting us to the sites and back to London in a timely manner.
Our tour was amazing! Our tour guide Bruce was super funny and told amazing stories! Super entertaining! Our driver Elvio gave us a super smooth ride the whole time!
1. My tour didn't go to Stonehenge at all due to a concert allegedly. Huge disappointment especially because that was the main reason I booked - no notice that was the situation. Probably one-off but that was my experience. 2. This ticket doesn't actually get you into the Windsor Castle tour or the Roman Baths. So it's essentially 100 pounds for a bus ride. While that information *is* included in the listing, I was expecting those were more upgrades rather than the core experience. Why would you even sell this tour? So I can go to random tourist gift shops near the Windsor Castle that are the same as the ones I just left in London? It was apparent many others were in the same situation as me because we all had to scramble to buy tickets on our phones to actually get in to these two attractions separately during the bus ride - essentially doubling the cost of the whole tour. To be clear, this is the fault of TripAdvisor, not the company operating the tours. 3. The bus A/C was weak and the temperature hovered upper 70s to 80s inside the bus most of the time. Not the end of the world, but not exactly worth 100 pounds. Consistent with most of England in a heat wave I guess! Everything else was fine - nothing notable either way. The sites themselves are a great experience - just find a better option!
They can cancel parts of the tour without notice. They cancelled the Stonehenge visit and only told us after we were on the bus going to Windsor Castle.
We were very disappointed in this tour as they canceled Stonehenge due to the summer solstice. The company knew this before we started the tour but waited until we left to tell us. Also, disappointed that GetYourGuide was not clear about purchasing optional tickets for each attraction. And to top it off, the AC wasn’t working properly on a very hot day. We were in Windsor for over 3 hours. Surely another bus could have been sent from London. Our guide, David, did a good job though of giving us info and helping everyone get where they needed to be during the day and at the end of the tour.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that parts of your experience did not meet expectations. Stonehenge closure due to the Summer Solstice was communicated in advance to all customers who purchased Stonehenge entry tickets with their booking and were provided a refund for the entry cost. We are sorry for any confusion regarding ticket inclusions and for the discomfort caused by the air conditioning issue on a particularly hot day. Your comments have been shared with our operations team for review. We are, however, pleased to hear that David provided helpful guidance throughout the day and supported guests during the tour. We appreciate your feedback and hope we may have the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.
It was good experience with the group
Thank you for your review! We are pleased to hear that you had a good experience and enjoyed touring with the group. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
This tour was a great way to get the highlights of three big attractions in London! Jason was our tour guide and Rob was our driver-both were excellent! Jason gave recommendations and pointers to make sure we maximized our time spent at each location as you only get an hour to hour and a half at each. Coach had AC and was comfortable. Best for making the most out of a day!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed visiting Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, and Bath, and that the tour helped you make the most of your day. Jason and Rob will be thrilled to know their guidance, recommendations, and service contributed to such a positive experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
Great trip to see some of England's most iconic sites outside of London. My guide was Pauly, and he did an excellent job managing the group and explaining all of the sites. The coach driver was Armando and he did a great job getting us to the different sites and back to London in a timely manner.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed visiting some of England’s most iconic sites and that Pauly’s informative commentary and excellent group management helped make the day so enjoyable. We are also pleased to hear that Armando provided a smooth and timely journey throughout the tour. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
The guide Jason and the driver Rob were both great, tour went on in an organized manner and information was communicated very clearly. Time spent at some places felt a bit short, especially in Bath where doing the Roman Bath tour takes up most of the alloted time to see the beautiful town. It really is a best-of/highlight tour.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We are delighted to hear that you found Jason and Rob to be excellent and that the tour was well organized with clear communication throughout. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the timing at each location, particularly in Bath, as guest insights help us continue to refine the experience. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon for another great day exploring England’s highlights!
Be warned that they do not tell you when exhibits are closed. We got all the way to Windsor Castle at the end of our bus trip and they told us that the castle was closed that we would not be touring. That was the number one site and attraction that I wanted to see. I was not offered a refund or accommodation for another day, I was just told that's how it is. Communication was very poor.
