About this tour

More than 900 years of royal history await you at Windsor Castle, From William the Conqueror all the way through to our current King, successive monarchs have lived here and left their mark on what is now the largest continuously occupied castle in the world. We shall be amongst the first people to enter Windsor Castle (ticket included only for the selected option), so you can see for yourself the splendour of St. George’s Chapel and the sumptuous state apartments away from the bustling crowds.

The most famous prehistoric monument in the world, and now a world heritage site, Stonehenge stands alone in the vast empty tract of Salisbury plain. Its origins date back nearly 5,000 years and it has been home to pagan religion and spiritual worship, not to mention public debate ever since. What was this vast collection of stones intended for? Was it an observatory of the moon, a temple to the sun, or an elaborate cemetery? Who were the people who carried and carved these 40-ton rocks? Come and unlock the secrets for yourself and marvel at this remarkable and mysterious feat of ancient engineering and design (ticket included).

The next stop is Lacock, a historical and picturesque town, which has been the background of some well-known films, such as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Pride and Prejudice. Feeling peckish? What better way to enjoy traditional lunch than in a 14th-century classic country pub? Relax and soak up the charming atmosphere while being served some delicious home-cooked food.

Our final stop is Bath, another world heritage site. Bath is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces and architecture. Following our panoramic tour of the city, there will be time to visit Bath Abbey (ticket not included) and Poultney Bridge overlooking the river Avon cascading over the weir.
