Windsor, Stonehenge and Oxford Day Trip

Windsor, Stonehenge and Oxford Day Trip

First we'll board a comfortable coach at 8 am in central London where you can relax until we arrive at Windsor Castle, the bus ride will take around an hour.

One hour from London, Windsor Castle is the largest occupied fortification with an 800-year-old tower. It has been built in a privileged location and is surrounded by a magnificent garden. While you visit the Castle, you'll understand why Queen Elizabeth spends all her weekends in this beautiful royal palace. For about half an hour you’ll be able to explore its rooms, admire its works of art and visit St George’s Chapel. One of the Castle’s highlights is Queen Mary’s Doll House, a beautiful toy house built between 1921 and 1924 and which even had hot water and electricity.

The next stop will be Stonehenge, the United Kingdom’s most renowned megalithic monument. It was built with 40-ton prehistoric stones over 5,000 years ago. To this day, this landmark is a mystery, as it is not clear how it was built or what purpose it had.

After about 20 minutes of exploring Stonehenge, we'll head to the last stop of the day-trip Oxford, one of the oldest cities in England and home to one of the most prestigious universities in the world. You’ll be able to admire “the city of dreaming spires” and have about half an hour to visit the Bodleian Library, one of the most ancient libraries in the world. The charming streets and squares of Oxford will not leave you indifferent.

You’ll be back in London around 6:30pm and you can either get off at Kensington or Victoria Station.
