All South East England Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 6

The experience brought the history of the past and present to life. A meaningful experience to visit one of the favourite homes of the British Monarch. The castles rooms and hanging paintings brought back memories of Kings & Queens studied from history. It was well worth the visit!

Independent Friends (the company name) picks you up right from the cruise port and takes you to Salisbury Cathedral. We did not go into the actual church. One person actually purchased a ticket and went in quickly. We had 30 minutes here. Then off to Stonehenge. As a group we decided to take just about 75 minutes at Stonehenge so we could spend more time at Windsor Castle. We arrived at Windsor Castle around 1:15 and then had to be back at the bus by 4:00. The guide (we had Salvador) gives you info on each place on the bus. He lets you wander on your own but is there to answer any questions or take pictures. I downloaded the free app for a Stonehenge “tour”. Windsor Castle has an audio tour in many languages that comes with the entrance fee. This trip was roughy $250 per person- a bargain for being picked up at the cruise ship terminal, luggage taken care of, transportation to all places, entrance fees to Stonehenge and Windsor Castle and then they drop you off at your hotel in London (we were staying Heathrow). Great tour! Great tour guide - Salvador and driver -Kieran.

We enjoyed this tour of the university with Sam Day. We passed by several key spots within the city centre, and Sam kept us engaged with information about Oxford generally, as well as stories about notable alumni and professors, and British history generally - even our teens enjoyed it. He was also great with pace and questions. Thanks again Sam!
