Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath with Pub Lunch in Lacock

1.Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath with Pub Lunch in Lacock

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7,402 reviews · 12 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $123Our pick

Travel by air-conditioned coach from London to Windsor, Stonehenge, Lacock, and Bath. Guides such as Eugene, Rowan, and Nicholas are known for lively commentary, while a 14th-century pub lunch adds local flavor. Choose options that include Stonehenge entry, Windsor Castle, or both.

“Rowan and Robert made the tour so enjoyable! Rowan made listening to the history of each place so fun and amusing if I do another tour I would definitely want Rowan to be the tour guide again! The only thing I would have loved is to have spent more time at Windsor and Bath but considering the distances the time restriction is understandable”

Spend 8.5 hours beyond Prague with local guides such as Jan or Petr. Hike 3.5 km through Prachov Rocks, eat lunch in a 14th-century castle, then taste at least three local beers. Small groups, hotel pickup, snacks, water, and return transport are included.

“We had a fantastic time on this tour. The itinerary, what to expect, etc was all clearly communicated prior to the tour. It was convenient to be picked up right at our hotel. Petr, our guide, was kind, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to spend the day with. The scenery on the hike was unique and beautiful. Lunch at the castle was delicious and the castle itself was pretty. The brewery tour was informative and the beer was tasty. We enjoyed how personal this small-group tour was. We highly recommend this excursion as a fun way to experience a variety of wonderful activities when visiting Prague!”
