Oxford to Windsor Castle

April 29, 2021
London Bridge

Depart from central London in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach and travel to the opulent Windsor Castle, an official residence of Queen Elizabeth II. Marvel at the verdant surroundings as you approach the majestic palace and its arresting turrets; on arrival, show your pre-booked ticket or pay your entrance fee (depending on the option selected) and venture within to see an array of opulent chambers shrouded in regal history. Listen to informative audio commentary and catch a colorful glimpse of the Changing of the Guard ceremony if your visit coincides with the daily performance.

Alternatively, enjoy some leisurely free time to explore the charming streets of Windsor. Browse quaint shops for unique souvenirs and enjoy a refreshing cup of English tea in a local café during your stay. Return to the coach after approximately two hours and enjoy more picturesque scenery as you travel to Stonehenge, a mystery-shrouded UNESCO World Heritage-listed wonder.

As you approach, gaze at the magical ring of stones protruding from Salisbury Plain and opt to purchase an entrance ticket for an insightful audio-guided tour of the landmark. Choose to view Stonehenge from outside if you wish, capturing photographs of the mystifying monument from a variety of vantage points.

After thorough exploration, continue your journey to Oxford, a beautiful city home to Britain’s oldest and most prestigious university. Enjoy a relaxed walking tour around the honey-hued lanes of the Old Town and hear of the city’s rich history as your guide provides illuminating commentary.
