“Fantastic tour. (2 caveats. See *** below) Eugene was incredibly knowledgeable, gave hints at each stop for the best way to see things, helpful, and funny. The time was appropriately divided between the 3 stops. Great tour and recommend it highly. *** 1. I would not recommend booking for a Sunday. St George’s Chapel at Windsor is closed. Bath Abbey has very limited hours and you probably won’t be there when it is open. 2. The time given to Windsor was appropriate considering it was 1 of 3 stops. However, if seeing Windsor well is a priority, I would choose a different tour that gives it more time. We were…”

Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford Day Trip from London

12.Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford Day Trip from London

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,474 reviews · 11 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $123

Travel by coach from central London to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford. Choose entry to Windsor and Stonehenge when booking, hear site commentary through audio guides, and follow a guide on an Oxford walking tour. The day lasts about 11.5 hours, so expect a packed schedule, long drives, and a broad introduction rather than a slow visit.

“We had a great time. Our guide Ana was funny and very well informed. To be able to see the 3 places in one day can be a little bit rush, but if you want to get the most out of one day this trip is highly recommended.”

Guides such as Peter, Phil, Mel and Cameron have brought the day to life for past groups, though guide assignments vary.

“Stone Henge & Bath are worth the visit. Unfortunately, you only have a short time to see Stone Henge, you have to take into account, it takes 5minute to wait for shuttle bus to get to Stone Henge, 5minute ride on the shuttle bus, that’s 20minutes round trip. Once you get to Stone Henge, it could take another 20-30minutes depending how crowded it is, you are left with very little time for toilet and visit the shop. So prepare yourself to hustle when going to Stone Henge. Bath is beautiful and should be a longer stop but again, it is a day trip so time is limited. The Evan Evans…”
