Embark on a fascinating tour from London, exploring the grandeur of Windsor, the enigma of Stonehenge, and the academic charm of Oxford.
Your journey begins at Windsor Castle, nestled atop a verdant hill overlooking the Thames. The castle's sweeping landscaped gardens and turreted Round Tower make it clear why it is the favoured weekend residence of the King. A peek into the lavish State Apartments reveals priceless artworks by masters such as Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci. You'll also have the opportunity to visit St. George’s Chapel, an atmospheric sanctuary that serves as the final resting place for many former monarchs, including Henry VIII. Additionally, you can explore Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House.
The next stop is Stonehenge, an ancient creation whose true purpose remains shrouded in time. Was it a temple for sun worship, a healing centre, a burial site or perhaps a colossal calendar? How did our ancestors manage to transport these mighty stones and construct this awe-inspiring structure using only primitive tools? Stonehenge never fails to impress.
Finally, your guide takes you on a walking tour through the historic lanes of Oxford, following in the footsteps of renowned alumni like C.S. Lewis and Bill Clinton. Marvel at the 'city of dreaming spires' and visit the Bodleian Library - one of Europe's oldest libraries. The narrow alleys and ancient squares of this beautiful town will undoubtedly captivate you.
The tour concludes with your return to London in the evening.
