Windsor, Stonehenge and Oxford with the Radcliffe Camera
Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
LondonThis is the version of the three-stop day that runs to a published clock, which matters when you are deciding how much time you actually get anywhere. Check-in is 7:30am at Bus Stop 1, Bulleid Way, Victoria, London SW1W 9SR, and the coach leaves at 8:00 sharp. Windsor Castle at about 9:30. The castle is 900 years old and sits on a wooded hill above the Thames, with landscaped gardens around it and a turret over them. Inside, the State Apartments hold priceless work by Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci, and St George's Chapel is the burial place of former monarchs including Henry VIII and Elizabeth II. The coach pulls out again at about 11:30. Stonehenge at about 1:15pm, and the jump is from a 900-year-old castle to a 5,000-year-old monument. What the circle meant has been lost: a temple for sun worship, a healing centre, a burial site, a calendar. Nor is there agreement on how the stones were carried so far and raised with the most primitive of tools. Oxford is the last stop, and the only one done on foot. It has the oldest university in the English-speaking world, and the walk goes through the college courtyards and cobbled lanes that C.S. Lewis and Bill Clinton knew as students, past the Radcliffe Camera and the Bodleian Library, one of the oldest in Europe. The narrow alleys and old squares here are unspoilt. The coach leaves Oxford at about 5:45pm and reaches London around 7, at Gloucester Road Underground Station.

This wonderful day trip will take you to two of the UK’s…
Two of the UK's most iconic attractions and one of the world's most famous and charming cities, in a single day trip. Be at the meeting point for 7:30am, because the coach leaves at 8am sharp.
Windsor Castle
The first stop of the day is Windsor Castle, reached at about 9:30am. The castle is 900 years old and perches on a lush wooded hill above the Thames, with sweeping landscaped gardens around it and an imposing turret above.
St. George's Chapel
At Windsor Castle there is a through-the-keyhole peek at the lavish State Apartments, home to priceless artworks by Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci, and a visit to the beautifully gothic St George's Chapel, the atmospheric final resting place of former monarchs including Henry VIII and Elizabeth II. The coach leaves Windsor Castle at about 11:30am for the next part of the day.
Stonehenge
From a 900-year-old castle to a 5,000-year-old monument, a step further back in time, reached at about 1:15pm. What this ancient creation actually meant has been lost in the mists of time. A temple for sun worship, a healing centre, a burial site, or a huge calendar? And how did our ancestors carry the mighty stones from so far away and then build the thing with only the most primitive of tools? The mystery is the point, and Stonehenge never fails to impress.
Radcliffe Camera
The last stop of the day is Oxford, home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world. The walking tour follows in the footsteps of famous students, C.S. Lewis and Bill Clinton among them, through the captivating college courtyards and cobbled lanes of this historic university town.
Bodleian Library
The city of dreaming spires, with the Bodleian Library, one of the oldest libraries in Europe, on the route. The narrow alleys and ancient squares of this charming place are unspoilt. The coach leaves Oxford at about 5:45pm and gets back to London around 7pm.
