Tour Itinerary:
The Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath day tour is the most popular day tour from London. No wonder with three world class attractions visited in one long but rewarding day. This tour is a slight adaptation of the main Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge tour that runs daily alongside this tour. This is a slightly upgraded tour with a slight price premium. There are two differences to the main tour. One we limit the number of passengers to 35, the main tour capacity is 50. Secondly instead of taking lunch at Windsor we put in an extra stop at Lacock, a medieval village off the beaten tourist track where we have lunch in the 14th century George Inn pub.
Otherwise the tour is very similar, the morning is spent visiting Windsor Castle, 'home' of the Queen of England before going onto Stonehenge before arriving around 2 p.m. at Lacock for a late lunch. The tour concludes at Georgian Bath, just 30 minutes away before returning to London.

Courtesy transfer from your hotel
There is a free hotel collection from over 170 hotels in central London - more than any other sightseeing company in London. Separate coaches each cover a main Central London hotel district and transport you to Victoria Coach Station where you join the tour bus for your day tour. Full details of the hotel pick-up service are further down the page.
If you wish you can join the tour at Victoria Coach Station, which is about 600 yards from Victoria Underground and Train Station.
Windsor Castle
A professional guide is aboard the luxury air-conditioned touring bus the entire day and will provide commentary and guiding throughout. Windsor Castle, the first stop on the tour is a short 45 minute journey west of London. During that short time you would have heard about Windsor Castle its history and interesting snippets from your guide.
 |
Windsor Castle |
Windsor Castle opens at 9:45 a.m. so the tour group will be some of the first to enter the castle that day through the special tour group entrance.
From William the Conqueror all the way through to our current Queen, successive monarchs have lived here and left their mark on what is now the largest continuously occupied castle in the world. St Georges chapel and the sumptuous state apartments are the major areas visited and you can take it at your own pace with your own personal audio guide in a choice of languages.
Windsor itself is a pretty town full of traditional shops and historic pubs. Immediately outside the castle is the Old Town with its cobbled streets.
Stonehenge
We leave Windsor around 11:30 a.m. after a full 2 hours in Windsor for the 80 minute journey to Stonehenge.
 |
Stonehenge, the most famous prehistoric monument in the world, and now a world heritage site stands alone in the vast empty tract of Salisbury plain. Before arriving your guide will have given you a good briefing about Stonehenge, its background and features.
50 minutes is long enough for a full visit plus time to visit the gift shop or grab a coffee. Your guide will lead you into Stonehenge bypassing the normal queues straight into the monument.
You will be offered an audio guide in a choice of languages so you can take Stonehenge in at your own pace.
Stonehenge is a mystic place with many fascinating aspects, by the time you return to the coach perhaps you will have a view on what it was used for, nobody knows for sure.
Pub Lunch at Lacock
Its then onto Lacock our lunch stop arriving around 2 p.m.
Lacock is an old National trust village located in the heart of the West Country. So picturesque are the tiny cobbled streets, ancient cottages and meandering rivers, that the village has been the setting for numerous period dramas and movies including, most recently, Harry Potter.
 |
George Inn Lacock |
We enjoy a short walk in the village before heading to the George, a 14th Century pub, where we enjoy a delicious lunch, included in the price.
Bath
After leaving Lacock its only about a 30 minute journey to our final stop Bath, like Stonehenge another world heritage site.
Bath is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces and architecture. Following our guided tour of the city, there will be time to explore at your leisure.
Time is the big enemy at Bath, there is so much to see and do. There is truly something for everyone.
The most popular single attraction are the Roman Baths that were built nearly 2,000 years ago or see Bath Abbey next door and Pulteney Bridge (looking like it should be in Venice) overlooking the river Avon cascading over the weir.
Then there is the Jane Austen Centre and the elegant Assembly Rooms built in 1771.
It is now late afternoon and after around 75 minutes its time to think about getting back to London.
The estimated time of arrival back in London is 7:45 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Morning Hotel Pick Ups
Like all day tours, time is the enemy and all tours leave early in the morning.
London is a spread out place and one bus would take all morning to go around each hotel individually. Instead separate coaches each cover their own part of London and take you to Victoria Coach Station where you switch to the your tour bus for the day.
The link below lists all the pick-up hotels and current times they visit. If your hotel is not on the list and its in the centre of London then its almost certain there will be another pick-up hotel very close by.
If you are still unclear where the best pick-up point is or you are coming from outside the centre we have a blog where on this linked page you can discuss one to one the best solution for you.
