Tour Itinerary:
International Friends run this popular tour departing every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from Central London.
International Friends are the only London day tour company that specialises in daily scheduled day tours in relatively small 16 seat buses that can visit places the bigger buses cannot reach.
By operating the tour in the opposite direction to the bigger coach tours from London we strive to give you a chance to see these wonderful sites before or after most of the crowds have arrived and left.
Stonehenge
We make our first call at Stonehenge, traveling through mysterious Wessex, arriving before the crowds in the mid-morning. Facts and theories abound at this ancient site, why and how? Who were the builders? What was its purpose?

During our guided tour we learn about the different periods of building, stretching back over 5,00 years. We learn of the people who worshipped there, of the various ideas behind the alignments and use.
Bath
From here we head westwards to the golden limestone-clad city of Bath. People have been coming to Bath for centuries owing to the hot springs that bubble up to the surface at several locations in the city.
At a constant temperature of 46.5C, the only hot springs in the country, the Romans enjoyed this place when they settled here almost 2,000 years ago, naming the resort Aqua Sulis.
The city was beautifully re-invented in the 18th century when it became the fashionable place to see and be seen. Elegant crescents, squares and terraces were built as the rich and famous traveled from London for 'the season' to relieve themselves of rheumatic diseases, stiffness of the joints and gout.
This fully guided tour includes admission to the Roman Baths museum and a tour of the highlights of Georgian Bath, including the Royal Crescent, Royal Circus and the Assembly Rooms.

Windsor Castle
Departing Bath we head along the Cotswold edge with views of the estuary of the River Severn and the distant mountains of Wales (weather permitting!) and onwards to Windsor Castle, the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world.
After a guided introduction to the town itself it's time to go inside and visit the Royal apartments, see Queen Mary's dolls house and gaze upon the last resting place of Henry VIII and Charles I in St George's chapel. Lavishly furnished rooms, a wonderful gallery of world famous art and views from the battlements across the Thames valley await the visitor as we wander around inside.
We end the day at Runnymede. Long ago this was a Saxon meeting place but more importantly, after long drawn out negotiations between the barons and King John, the place where Magna Carta was agreed upon in 1215. We can walk around this historic site and learn of the implications of this document and then in turn learn how other nations have adapted this major constitution.
It is here by the River Thames that we end the tour before our short journey back to London.
