Excellent Tour of Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford University

I had a wonderful tour of "Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Oxford University" with my tour guide, Peter R. Peter was knowledgeable about the different sites and he was good at keeping our group on a timely schedule. Our driver, Jack, was excellent and he ensured our safety during our travels. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends and family.

The coach we rode in was excellent. Very clean and comfortable. We had a very good driver who got us there safely and was good at driving in lots of traffic. Our tour guide so knowledgeable about the history of England and all of the places we visited. She really made the tour great by sharing all of her vast knowledge about the places we went. You can tell she really loves her job. We enjoyed the tour immensely but wished we had more time at Windsor Castle and Oxford.

Good way to see sites outside of London.

The overall trip was good. You do spend some traveling but it is expected when you have sites outside the city. Tour guide Bruce was great. He provided a lot of information in an entertaining way. Only wish we had longer at Windsor castle. Only had about 45 minutes. So if you want to see more of the castle I recommend doing a separate tour. Plenty of time at Stonehenge and Bath.

Places we will never forget

It was one of the best experience for us, unfortunately we could not get in Windsor Castle because we went on a day it was not open. The trip was excellent, the guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable, a trip to remember indeed. Stonehenge was amazing and an unbelievable place, worth visiting

Great to visit three places in one day

Godfrey the guide and Michelangelo the driver were a great team, taking us to Oxford, Stonehenge and Windsor Castle all in a day. Godfrey had amusing insights and fun facts at each location, and kept us on a timely, packed schedule. The tour is a good value, with each location an hour to an hour & half drive in between. Each place merits a longer return visit but good intro. Helpful hint: check to see if Windsor Castle is open to the public on your chosen day of the week.

Jes was our tour guide...

Jes was our tour guide and Andre our driver. Jes was funny and informative. Andre is an excellent driver. I could have spent all day at any of the locations. I really wasn’t expecting much from Bath but I was wrong, next time I come to England I will definitely stay in Bath. Windsor castle is beautiful and so much history. Stonehenge was my favorite, it was raining and that added to the character, as did the raven perched on top of rock.

Countryside Ride

Long ride between stops but unavoidable. They allowed as much time as possible due to long time leaving and approaching the London area. The guide would get us started at each stop then leave us with a departure time. The driver was very capable and the guide knowledgeable. It was a great way to see the countryside. Just note Windsor Castle is closed on some weekdays so plan accordingly.
