A TOP DAY! - A beautiful day, meeting time very early in the morning (7:30 all there to leave at 8:00) but absolutely necessary to get to see everything considering the long distances between one place and another. I recommend buying the excursion with the entrances included for Windsor Castle and Stonehenge, I bought them separately and paid a little more. The stop in Oxford would deserve at least half a day for the beauty of the things to see, but if you know where to go and what to see you can do everything in the time available. Our Godfrey guide was very knowledgeable, helpful and with a typical English humour! He also translated everything into Spanish, which allowed us to understand even the most complicated concepts and explanations. Overall I recommend this excursion, clean bus transport with toilets on board and free wifi.

Amazing windsor, stonehenge and oxford day trip - thank you Cameroon! - We did the oxford Windsor stonehenge trip with Cameroon (guide) and Barrington (Driver) … we had the most amazing day with Cameroon keeping us thoroughly entertained, informed and educated all at the same time … his energy is awesome, has very insightful facts n figures and historical anecdotes, all delivered with a generous dollop of wit and humor.
What made Cameroon really stand apart was his personal interaction with each and every member of the group, asking after them and responding patiently to questions.
Barringtons driving was smooth as cream… hats off to both for making our day!
A big thank you :)

A fantastic day trip with a GREAT tour guide Kevin! - I booked this day trip after hearing good reviews on TripAdvisor. And the trip exceeded my expectations. First of all, the tour guide Kevin was enthusiastic, engaging and funny from the very beginning. He kept his energy up throughout the whole day and made all the difference. What a great tour guide.
Windsor Castle was our first stop. And to be honest, I was looking forward more to Stonehenge at Oxford. However, the castle was surprisingly interesting. I’m not a royal watcher by any standard, but the burial places of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, and King Henry the eighth and Jane Seymour in the chapel were surprisingly moving to me. I guess I should mention that I am Canadian.
Stonehenge was our next stop, and I got to see something I’ve been wanting to see for 40 years.
i had always wanted to see Oxford, too, and the old buildings in architecture and sense of history were incredible.
Just to return to Kevin, the tour guide, for a moment. He was on top of things every step of the way, with clear instructions, about where to be and when, making sure everybody had their tickets at each stop. Man, that guy worked hard today.

A day of mind-blowing history - We booked this trip as we fancy ourselves fans of historical locations and this exceeded whatever expectations we had in our mind.
Our guide Sandra was wonderful and so knowledgeable. She helped the time pass on each bus ride between locations with describing the locations we were driving through, as well as providing lots of information on the places we were going. I definitely recommend spending the day with her at the helm.
Stop one: Windsor Castle. We were there for around an hour and a half which provided a good amount of time to tour the State Apartments, St. George’s Chapel and saw the changing of the guards. It was so interesting to see the amount of fine art and objects that the Royal Family has amassed during their reign, but the real stunner was the ceilings and opulence of the building itself. In St George’s Chapel it was very interesting to see the place where so many of the monarchs were interred, including Elezibeth II.
Stop two: Stonehenge. This is something on many a bucket list and it really is surreal to see it in person after looking at photos for decades. I have to say, the different species of birds that call the fields around it home also caught my attention.
Stop three: Oxford University. We were amazed at the campus - which was buzzing with students and residents. The buildings were so old, so beautiful with brilliant detail on the spires. We could have spent an entire day there exploring the grounds and admiring the buildings.
At the end, if you have the chance to come to London and do a day tour, I would whole heartedly suggest this is the one you do. Beautiful, well paced and informative.
Cheers!

hectic but informative - The program was too intense and we had too little time at the various sights.
Our tour guide Soul was very hard at work and has allowed us a very great tour despite the tight times

Its one way of touring - This tour is like you are a contestant on the Amazing Race. Everything is rush, rush, rush. Windsor was 2 hours of audio but we only had 1:45 minutes at the castle and that included time to walk back to the bus. I would recommend going to two of the three. We literally had 35 minutes at Stonehenge. Did not have time to do the museum. They say it’s an hour but that includes waiting for tickets and the trolley to the site. Yes we checked off seeing the sites but the pace takes away from the enjoyment.
