London: Full-Day Windsor, Stonehenge, and Oxford Tour

1.Full-Day Windsor, Stonehenge, and Oxford Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 5,368 reviews · 11.5 hours - 1 day · from $120Our pick

See Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford in one long London day, with transport, guiding, and optional entry tickets included.

“The day trip to Windsor, Stonehenge and Oxford was beyond my expectations and that was thanks to Phill and Patrick. Phill looks like a character from one of the books housed in the Oxford library. The Ascot tie and cap outfit, the brown leather shoes and the pipe that completes the image and of course the indispensable umbrella because we also had some rain. And the knowledge shared is worthy of the British encyclopedia. I recommend it with all my heart.”

Review of the Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford day trip from London, with honest advice on timing, value, guides, and what to expect.

“Viatour Windsor, Stonehenge, Oxford tour Oxford needs to be removed from this tour as it’s not as significant as Windsor and Stonehenge. Some people wait a lifetime to see this beautiful castle. Because we had to rush through we did not get to really enjoy the castle. We stood OUTSIDE IN THE COLD for 1.5 hours. This time should have been allocated to being INSIDE the castle. If we hadn’t had to go to Oxford the time allocated to drive there should have been spent at Windsor. Stonehenge is a quick walk around and the time there was even cut short to rush to Oxford!! Please please to your customers…”

Review this 10.5-hour London day trip to Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford, and the Cotswolds, with practical tips on pace and value.

“The tour was good, but the logistics were odd. We had way too much time at Warwick Castle and were rushed through Stratford-upon-Avon. We had about 45 minutes to explore Shakespeare's birthplace and grab some lunch. When we arrived in Oxford, it was the same story—everything felt very rushed. The tour guide was knowledgeable”

Review of the Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford day trip from London, with honest advice on timing, value, transport, and what to expect.

“Rowan and Jeton really made it special! Jeton was kind, respectful, and an excellent driver. Rowan is, without a doubt, the absolute best tour guide I’ve ever heard. She was extremely knowledgable, funny in many ways, kept our attention the entire day and was amazing on trivial and historical tidbits. Rowan’s delivery and facial expression coupled with her vocal inflections was superb beyond superb!! Carrie French Thompson from GA - USA. (The three older ladies). Rowan also showed compassion for my dear cousin who had knee surgery and was struggling to keep up.”

Review of the Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Oxford day tour from London, with timing, costs, guides, transport, and practical booking advice.

“NEVER BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!! This company is absolutely horrible. We were supposed to visit Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, and Oxford, but our bus broke down at Stonehenge. Our tour guide told us everything would be okay because we were going to switch buses with another tour that was parked next to us. However, due to miscommunication with the other tour guide, that switch never happened. The guide then said he would contact management. For some reason, it took an extremely long time for him to get in touch with them. Eventually, we were told another bus was on the way and would pick us up in 20 minutes. That never…”

“Very upset with the fact we started an hour late, no one bothered to contact me as to why. A man from our group called to find out what was happening then few others got a call. I was never called after I emailed then got a response. You guys should have a rep at the stating point to give us updates as to what is going on. We lost one hour of sunlight so when we got to Bibury it was dark. The guide was good but will never ever do tour with u guys specially after receiving an email not bothering to refund part of our money or…”

See Warwick Castle, Shakespeare’s birthplace, Oxford, and the Cotswolds in one long, well-organized day from London.

“Excellent tour! Our guide, Mel, did a great job for over 10 hours. He worked harder than most in that he did not take the long rides as a time to relax, but did the appropriate amount of speaking to tell us not only about what we were to see, but some history also. Wish we were able to stop and spend some time at the Cowells, but the other three stops were fantastic. In addition, Mel, he helped each of us after the tour to find restaurants and transportation to where we wanted to go.”

“Good coverage of sites and commentary by the hard working guide. This otherwise great tour was marred by a small number of tourists who talked incessantly the entire day. Unfortunately this was irritating. These tour operators should routinely remind all participants of the need to be considerate of those around them.”
