From London: Stonehenge, Windsor & Oxford Full Day Trip

About this experience

From London: Stonehenge, Windsor & Oxford Full Day Trip This comprehensive London day trip combines three of England's most celebrated landmarks in a single tour. You'll explore the ancient mysteries of Stonehenge, walk through the State Apartments of Windsor Castle, and discover the academic halls of Oxford University. The tour covers over 5,000 years of British history, from Neolithic achievements to modern royal traditions, making it perfect for visitors wanting to experience England's cultural heritage in one day. Your journey begins at Windsor Castle, the world's oldest occupied castle and official residence of the British Royal Family for over 900 years. You'll tour the State Apartments displaying masterpieces by Rembrandt and Rubens, plus visit St George's Chapel where royal weddings take place. At Stonehenge, the prehistoric stone circle dating back approximately 5,000 years presents archaeology's greatest mystery. The visitor centre's interactive exhibitions explore theories about its purpose, from astronomical calendar to sacred burial ground. Your final stop is Oxford University, the "City of Dreaming Spires", where you'll see historic colleges including Christ Church, inspiration for Harry Potter's Hogwarts.
