Recommended Itinerary
Your private Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor day trip begins with collection from your London or Heathrow address. We can collect from your hotel lobby, air bnb, airport arrival terminal, train station, guest house or private address.
The first stop on your private day trip from London is mysterious Stonehenge, arriving just as the prehistoric site opens, before the crowds arrive. Admire its powerful presence, then take some time to experience the visitor centre where you will learn of the building methods and possible purpose of the monument before continuing on to the historic city of Bath.
In Bath, there will be time to visit the hot springs and the remains of the 2,000 year old baths, see the Roman Temple and walk along the original Roman pavement before stopping to enjoy lunch in one of the citys elegant tea rooms. Explore the 18th Century crescents and squares of the Georgian city, built 250 years ago, when Bath became the social centre for high society with dancing, bathing and all manner of relaxation.
The final stop on your day trip from London is Windsor, complete with the oldest and largest continuously occupied castle in the world, and favourite home of our present Queen. Here, there will be some time to visit Windsor Castle, including the state apartments, Grand Reception Room and the Royal Chapel of St George, the final resting place of many of our Kings and Queens. Alternatively, those who do not wish to enter the castle can spend some time exploring Windsor, along the narrow cobbled streets and riverside parks of this pleasant and attractive town.
Please be aware that in the winter months (November through February) Windsor Castle closes earlier. In this period we recommend the above itinerary in reverse.
