Explore Windsor Castle and Stonehenge in one day!
Get closer to the royal family and visit the fabulous Castle of Windsor, built nearly 1000 years ago and lived in by every monarch we have had for nearly 800 years. Explore the stunning gardens, enter the fabulous staterooms, view the famous Queen Mary’s doll house and of course, enter the beautiful St George’s Chapel — the resting place of many monarchs including Queen Elizabeth II. Stand in the spot where Harry and Megan got married. On certain days you may even be able to watch the wonderful changing of the guard ceremony. This truly is the most wonderful Castle the UK has to offer. This tour is self-guided, with help from the structured audio tour and friendly staff inside. Our guide will tell you all the history before you enter and exactly how to explore and what to see when inside and will then be waiting for you at the exit at the agreed time.
We will stop for a one-hour lunch break in a traditional countryside English pub. Enjoy fish and chips with a pint or steak and ale pie with a cider. Whatever you wish to eat or drink.
Then we’ll walk and explore the world-famous, ancient spiritual wonder that is Stonehenge. Your guide will fully guide you around this marvel and teach all you need to know including when was it built, how was it built, and of course why it was built. Take some stunning photos that you will treasure forever.
From charming castles in Windsor to historic streets to Oxford, York and Bath - you’ll be living out your period drama dreams with a legendary bunch of 35-45s. Put on a pair of good walking shoes! There’s a lot to be explored on the streets of Liverpool and Bristol. And of course, a tour of Britain is incomplete without taking in Scotland’s eternal natural beauty that will leave you completely captivated. This sojourn through England and Scotland is all about uncovering the best of Britain.

Loved the whole experience- visited all the best countries in Europe, tasted wines, spirits and other European alcohol In cheapest prices. It’s not suitable for asians with dark skin and if you’re over 34 yrs old unless you have a thick skin to not give any reaction to the comments some people make as a joke- only because they are white and still young. Not sure what they are so proud about in those moments. Other than that I enjoyed my time with rest of them. The price was on discount- I had to add on some extra adventures which worth it. Honestly 24 days is finished so quickly. Recommend to all the people who like explore Europe more in less time in cheaper price. Great work contiki, I am on my second one now- in Thailand, this group of approx 30 people is much better than European escapades (just my personal experience).
