★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 685 reviews · from $128

Visit Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Lacock, and Bath on a full-day trip from London with a pub lunch and expert guide.

“The day trip was fantastic! Stonehenge was our favorite. We opted out of Windsor Castle and spent our time there eating breakfast at a pub across the street from the castle and then walking along the river which we loved! Stonehenge was great, and the lunch in Lacock was delicious! The village is very small, but very picturesque; perfect if you’re looking for a true “countryside“ experience. Our last stop was bath, which was a beautiful city! I just wish we had more time in bath, we only had about an hour to explore, and when we got there, most of the shops had already closed. Clive was our guide…”
