Experience England, from majesty to mystery, on this day tour of Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath. Each location is a must-see attraction for all visitors.
If you always seem to be enchanted by England's glorious past, you will adore Queen Elizabeth II's Windsor Castle, which is still inhabited by the royal family and has been home to the crown for centuries. On this tour of Windsor Castle you will see St. George's Chapel, the State Apartments, and the famous Doll's house.
After you enjoy your morning at this magnificent palace, you will cross Salisbury Plain and head to Stonehenge. This gigantic monument has remained a mystery since its construction thousands of years ago. Considered a temple of the Celtic religion of the Druids, this prehistoric wonder seems to be too humongous for it to have been created by humans without the aid of modern technology. Today it is not even certain why Stonehenge was built or how it was used. As you tour Stonehenge and listen to your guide give you some brilliant ideas, you will be able to decide for yourself the meaning of these specifically placed stone columns. Was it a religious temple, an astronomical clock, or a cemetery of the Bronze Age? Learn the history of this outstanding monument of prehistoric times on your England day tour.
You will be provided with a complimentary boxed lunch on your way to Bath, where you will encounter a historic haven for two important eras in England's past, the Roman and Georgian periods. Visit the famous Roman thermal baths and naturals springs, admire beautiful 18th century architecture, and take your picture on the wonderful Pulteney Bridge, an imitation of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. This three part day tour is a delightful way to get to know more about England's history.
