Board the bus at a centrally-located meeting point in London. Sit back relax on the drive to Windsor Castle. Uncover over 900 years of royal history in Windsor Castle, which is perched high above the River Thames, just outside of London. Walk through the past residence of William the Conqueror and the current residence of the Queen.

Continue to the city of Bath, another world heritage site. Drive through this Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces, and architecture. Following a panoramic tour of the city, visit Bath Abbey and Pulteney Bridge, where the river Avon cascades over the dam. Have the option to shop, explore the area, take an afternoon tea in the Pump Rooms while listening to the string quartet, or venture to the Roman Baths that were built nearly 2,000 years ago on Britain's only natural hot water spring. Make your way to Stonehenge, the most famous prehistoric monument in the world. View this World Heritage site which stands alone in a vast, empty tract of Salisbury plain. Its origins date back nearly 5,000 years. Since then, it has become a symbol of paganism, and spiritual worship. Unlock the secrets for yourself and marvel at this mysterious feat of ancient engineering and design. Return to your meeting point at the end of your tour.
