You will take part in a full-day excursion to discover three of southern England’s most iconic highlights: Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and the city of Bath. Throughout the journey, you will combine royal history, prehistoric mystery, and Georgian architecture, traveling from an active royal residence to a Neolithic monument and a UNESCO World Heritage city.
The experience includes a visit to Windsor Castle, considered the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world and home to the British monarchy for over 900 years. Inside, you will explore the State Apartments and see rooms such as the Waterloo Chamber, the King’s and Queen’s apartments, as well as artworks attributed to artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt. You will also visit St George’s Chapel, the setting for royal weddings and the final resting place of Queen Elizabeth II. Please note that Windsor Castle is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays; if you travel on those days, you must select an option without castle entry, as a guided walking tour of Windsor will take place instead. If your visit falls on Thursday or Saturday, you may see the Changing of the Guard, when available.
Afterward, you will head to Stonehenge, one of the world’s most famous stone circles, located on Salisbury Plain. There, you will get close to the Neolithic stones, which have stood for around 5,000 years, and learn about theories regarding their origin and purpose. During the visit, you may enter the visitor centre, where archaeological objects found in the area are displayed, along with reconstructed Neolithic houses based on recent excavations.
The day continues in Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage city known for its Georgian architecture and thermal springs. You may visit the Roman Baths, admire the surrounding thermal waters, and, if you wish, taste the water in the Pump Room. If time allows, you will stroll along cobbled streets and see highlights such as Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent, and Pulteney Bridge, completing the day with a comprehensive view of England’s history, landscape, and heritage.
