9.Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Oxford Day Guided Tour from London

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,486 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $111

“This excursion might be a bit too much for one day. Stonehenge is very beautiful. And Windsor is full of history. But you spend such little time there that you can’t enjoy it to the fullest. Oxford was an even shorter experience. And, by then, I just wanted to be done in the bus.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 828 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $109

Leave Victoria Coach Station at 8:30 am for a full-day coach trip to Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford, with a scenic drive through the Cotswolds. An expert guide leads the Oxford walk and shares stories on the road. Castle and Shakespeare’s Birthplace admission depend on the option you book. Guides such as Phil, Cameron and Patricia have earned praise for lively, helpful commentary.

“Phil was an incredible tour guide! I was traveling with my husband and two kids ages 12 and 14. Phil provided so much information, was very entertaining, and went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a great day. Warwick castle is the perfect castle for a quick visit. We were able to explore most of the exhibits within the time allotted. We would have liked a little more time in Stratford upon Avon to enjoy a more leisurely lunch. The commentary in the bus was super interesting and our time flew by. Oxford was more guided and very interesting. Again, could have spent more time! It was described…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 756 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $106

Leave London by air-conditioned coach for Warwick Castle, Shakespeare’s Birthplace, a drive through the Cotswolds, and a guided walk in Oxford.

Guides such as Stefan, Pablo, and Calvin have led lively history-focused tours, but the pace is brisk and the Cotswolds are a drive-through stop.

“Really enjoyed Oxford; wished we had more time there. Cotswolds was just a drive-by, which was disappointing. David and Derek were awesome!”

13.Oxford, Stratford, Cotswolds, and Warwick Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 755 reviews · 10 hours · from $103

Ride from London with a live English- or Spanish-speaking guide, walk Oxford’s university lanes and pass through the Cotswolds by coach. Free time in Stratford lets you explore at your own pace, while optional tickets add Warwick Castle and Shakespeare’s Birthplace. Guides vary, with past trips led by names including Oliver, Apple and Kelvin.

“Kelvin was an excellent, knowledgeable but most importantly an entertaining guide. Marc expertly drove us through road closures in the Cotswolds ‘smoothly delivering us back in London. This is a highlights trip 1-2 hour stops at each location. Not much more time than to do the planned activity, grab a very quick bite or pint and get on your way to the next location. I highly recommend adding the Castle, breeze your way around Stratford-upon-Avon’s River front, and rake in Oxford. As I said earlier, Kelvin was entertaining, and what a blessing he was as you are almost transporting half the time. If all the other guides crush it like…”
