Small Group Day Tour of Bath, Windsor Castle, and Stonehenge from London

Too much for shorter winter days

I had high hopes for this full-day coach tour covering three iconic sites, but unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most frustrating and rushed experiences of our trip to England. While the destinations themselves are incredible, the itinerary feels completely unrealistic—especially in the winter months with shorter daylight hours and potential holiday traffic delays. The day started off poorly at Windsor Castle. Due to unclear directions and poor leadership from the guide, our group arrived late for our allocated entry slot. We ended up being among the last admitted, leaving us with only about an hour to explore the State Apartments and grounds. Windsor deserves far more time to appreciate its history and grandeur, but we felt constantly hurried. Things didn’t improve at Stonehenge. Again, the time allocation was just one hour, which meant a brisk speed-walk from the shuttle drop-off to the stones and back to catch the bus. Thankfully, our family is fit enough to manage it without issue, but it was exhausting and left no room to linger, reflect, or properly enjoy the ancient mystery of the site. By the time we reached Bath in the late afternoon, it was already dark. We’d departed London around 8:15 AM and had no real opportunity for a proper meal along the way—relying only on snacks we’d thoughtfully brought aboard the bus. Arriving starving around 4:30 PM, we were given just one hour of free time before needing to return to the coach. This barely allowed a glimpse of Bath’s beautiful Georgian architecture, let alone a visit to the Roman Baths (which close early in winter). In the end, our family opted to purchase separate train tickets home so we could stay longer and finally sit down for a much-needed dinner. The guide’s commentary throughout the day was another letdown—generic overviews of the sights that sounded scripted and impersonal, like something generated by AI rather than shared with genuine enthusiasm or depth. Overall, this tour crams too much into one day, making it particularly unsuitable for winter when daylight is limited and traffic around the holidays can add delays. I’d strongly advise against it during the colder months and recommend visiting these sites independently or over multiple days for a far more rewarding experience.

Small private tour of Windsor , Bath and Stonehenge in a day .

Long story short .. Originally advertised as an 11 hour guided tour . It was a 12 hour total day . We only had 1 hour in each destination. There wasn’t any guide walking with us through the castle , Stonehenge or Bath . It was advertised as extra free time in bath . The only time walking in bath was free without a guide . 3 total hours in the advertised destinations without a walking guide . I paid over $1000 for falsely advertised products! Buyer beware ! This tour company is awful ! One of the families , literally walked off the tour in Bath , because it was awful !

Amazing tour guide!

Ginny was great! She was full of historical and fun information. Very personable. We enjoyed the entire day trip. Even the 2 hour bus rides were fun! I would definitly book with this tour group again. Everything was planned out great and it was worth every dollar.
