What To Expect

Depart your central London meeting point by air-conditioned coach, and journey out into the leafy English countryside. Make your first stop at UNESCO World Heritage-listed Stonehenge, one of the world's best-known prehistoric monuments. Rising up from Salisbury Plain, this remarkable stone circle dates back some 4,500 years and is generally thought to have been a temple that marked the movements of the sun.On arrival, head inside the site complex with its visitor center, collect an audio-guide, and visit the massive stone circle to experience its size and symmetry close up. Ponder the mysteries that surround the edifice, and learn the theories as to how the stones were transported and then raised here.Next, continue to the delightful, UNESCO-protected spa city of Bath, famous for its elegant Georgian 18th-century architecture and connections with 18th- and 19th-century novelist Jane Austen. Explore the city center with your guide to admire the honey-stoned mansions, terraces and bridges, and enjoy a little free time to stroll around the cobbled streets at leisure.Back aboard your coach, travel deep into the Cotswolds, a region of rolling hills, green pastures and stone-built villages that's considered perhaps the loveliest in England. Soak up the gorgeous views of the lush fields honeycombed with dry stone walls, and pass through bustling market towns crowned by impressive churches.Arrive in the charm-laden town of Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of England's greatest playwright, William Shakespeare, and home to the famous Royal Shakespeare Company. Take in the half-timbered houses and Avon River that winds through the town. Then, enjoy glass of Champagne and traditional English scones in the garden of Shakespeare's childhood home (or indoors in winter), and stretch your legs around Stratford's quaint center. Please note: As of April 1, Shakespeare's birthplace will be replaced with a visit to Shakespeare's Schoolroom, including Champagne and scones, a tour, and a school lesson as it was back in Shakespeare's time.When your visit to Stratford ends, return to your coach and drive back to London where your tour concludes.Please note: on busy days, the order of the activities as shown above may be subject to change.
