Tour Itinerary
-
1
Your tour begins at Marble Arch in Central London
Your morning begins outside the Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch, near the Marble Arch Tube Station entrance. After meeting your guide, you'll climb aboard a comfortable executive mini-coach and head out of London toward the scenic English countryside. -
2
Arrive at Stonehenge and explore the stone circle
Beating the crowds, you'll skip the long ticket lines and step up close to the massive stones that were hauled here 5,000 years ago. Wander the full perimeter of the monument at your own pace and learn how ancient people moved these massive rocks and what rituals might have happened here. -
3
Discover Bath's Georgian streets and Roman heritage
After a coach tour of Bath's honey-colored Georgian townhouses, you have free time to grab a bite to eat or tour the Roman Baths where hot springs still bubble up as they did 2,000 years ago (tickets only included on Mondays and Tuesdays). -
4
Journey to Windsor with royal commentary
Settle back into your seat as your guide recounts tales of kings, queens, and scandals while the coach rolls through the Thames Valley. You'll see Windsor Castle rising above the town as you approach, its stone towers standing guard over the river below. -
5
Explore Windsor Castle's State Apartments (Thursday through Monday)
Walk through the grand State Apartments where royalty still hosts official guests, admiring gilt ceilings and priceless art collections. Step into St. George's Chapel to see the tombs of monarchs including Queen Elizabeth II, who made this castle her weekend home for decades. If your tour falls on a Monday or Tuesday, enjoy a Winsor Town tour instead. -
6
Your tour finishes at Victoria Station in London
By early evening, you'll be back on the road to London, swapping stories about the day's highlights. The coach pulls into Victoria Station around 6:30 pm, giving you easy access to the Tube, buses, and trains to continue your evening across the city.

Customer Reviews
I had high hopes for this full-day coach tour covering three iconic sites, but unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most frustrating and rushed experiences of our trip to England. While the destinations themselves are incredible, the itinerary feels completely unrealistic—especially in the winter months with shorter daylight hours and potential holiday traffic delays. The day started off poorly at Windsor Castle. Due to unclear directions and poor leadership from the guide, our group arrived late for our allocated entry slot. We ended up being among the last admitted, leaving us with only about an hour to explore the State Apartments and grounds. Windsor deserves far more time to appreciate its history and grandeur, but we felt constantly hurried. Things didn’t improve at Stonehenge. Again, the time allocation was just one hour, which meant a brisk speed-walk from the shuttle drop-off to the stones and back to catch the bus. Thankfully, our family is fit enough to manage it without issue, but it was exhausting and left no room to linger, reflect, or properly enjoy the ancient mystery of the site. By the time we reached Bath in the late afternoon, it was already dark. We’d departed London around 8:15 AM and had no real opportunity for a proper meal along the way—relying only on snacks we’d thoughtfully brought aboard the bus. Arriving starving around 4:30 PM, we were given just one hour of free time before needing to return to the coach. This barely allowed a glimpse of Bath’s beautiful Georgian architecture, let alone a visit to the Roman Baths (which close early in winter). In the end, our family opted to purchase separate train tickets home so we could stay longer and finally sit down for a much-needed dinner. The guide’s commentary throughout the day was another letdown—generic overviews of the sights that sounded scripted and impersonal, like something generated by AI rather than shared with genuine enthusiasm or depth. Overall, this tour crams too much into one day, making it particularly unsuitable for winter when daylight is limited and traffic around the holidays can add delays. I’d strongly advise against it during the colder months and recommend visiting these sites independently or over multiple days for a far more rewarding experience.
Long story short .. Originally advertised as an 11 hour guided tour . It was a 12 hour total day . We only had 1 hour in each destination. There wasn’t any guide walking with us through the castle , Stonehenge or Bath . It was advertised as extra free time in bath . The only time walking in bath was free without a guide . 3 total hours in the advertised destinations without a walking guide . I paid over $1000 for falsely advertised products! Buyer beware ! This tour company is awful ! One of the families , literally walked off the tour in Bath , because it was awful !
Ginny was great! She was full of historical and fun information. Very personable. We enjoyed the entire day trip. Even the 2 hour bus rides were fun! I would definitly book with this tour group again. Everything was planned out great and it was worth every dollar.
Frequently Asked Questions
What to bring?

Is this tour family friendly?
Yes, this tour is family friendly. Children will enjoy exploring the ancient stone circle, walking through Bath's historic streets, and touring the royal castle. Please note the day involves approximately 11 hours of travel and walking, so comfortable shoes and snacks are essential for younger travelers.
What if I have concerns about my mobility on this tour?
Unfortunately, this tour is not wheelchair accessible. This tour requires a moderate amount of walking while visiting the attractions with ample opportunities to rest while in transit between towns. The ability to board and exit the coach at each stop safely should be considered, as well as the shuttle transfer you'll take from the parking lot at Stonehenge and a 15-minute walk from the parking lot in Windsor to the castle, some of which is uphill.
What happens if Windsor Castle is closed?
Windsor Castle is a working Royal residence and may close at short notice. If this occurs, your guide will provide a proper alternative. Additionally, Windsor Castle is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when Roman Baths entry is included instead and your guide will lead a walking tour of Windsor town with castle photo stops.
Is entrance to the Roman Baths included in this tour?
Roman Baths entry is included on Tuesdays and Wednesdays when Windsor Castle is closed. On all other days, entrance to the Roman Baths is not included. If you wish to visit the Roman Baths on other days, pre-book a ticket at romanbaths.co.uk. For summer tours, we recommend the 12:00 pm entry time, and for winter tours, the 3:30 pm entry time.
Is lunch included in the tour price?
No. Lunch is not included on this tour. You'll have approximately one hour and 30 minutes of free time in Bath to grab a meal at a cafe or tea room. We recommend bringing snacks for the morning portion of the tour as well.
At what time will we return to London after the tour?
The duration of this tour is estimated to be around 11 hours. However, please keep in mind that this is an approximation based on typical traffic conditions. Since road conditions can vary, we are unable to provide an exact guarantee for the return time to London.
How comprehensive is each portion of this tour?
The three portions of this tour are condensed versions as it covers three historic landmarks in different cities all within a single day.
How much time is spent at each site?
You'll spend approximately one hour and 10 minutes at Stonehenge, where the tour arrives early to beat the large coaches and crowds. In Bath, you'll have one hour and 30 minutes to enjoy a coach tour of the city and free time to explore or visit the Roman Baths. Windsor is the last stop of the day with one hour and 30 minutes to tour the castle when it's open.
Why book a small group tour?
Small group travel offers the perfect balance between comfort and connection. With a maximum of 16 guests, your expert guide has time to engage with everyone and share local insights. Smaller numbers mean less waiting and more exploring, plus mini-coaches can take scenic routes that large coaches can't access.
