Itinerary
The town of Windsor is best known for its historical links to the British royal family, and it is suitably steeped in pageantry and history. Towering over the rest of the town is Windsor Castle, the ancestral home of the English and later British monarchy, and largest inhabited castle in the world. It has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years and is today one of the official residences of His Majesty The King. Occupying over 10.5 hectares, the Castle offers a varied day out for visitors, including a visit to the magnificent State Apartments and St George's Chapel. The Castle's State Apartments are furnished with some of the finest works from the Royal Collection, reflecting the changing tastes of the Castle's royal occupants, particularly those of Charles II and George IV. Many of the works of art are still in the historic settings for which they were first collected or commissioned by the kings and queens who have lived at Windsor.
Step back 5,000 years in time to prehistoric Britain as our guide helps bring the history of this fascinating monument to life. Who built Stonehenge? Why was it built? Discover the answer to these questions and the monument’s fascinating link to the Summer and Winter solstice. Come face-to-face with a 5,500-year-old man and visit the world-class exhibition centre, with 250 ancient objects on display.
The Bodleian Library is the main research library of the University of Oxford, and is one of the oldest libraries in Europe. With over 12 million items, it is the second-largest library in Britain after the British Library.
Christ Church is a constituent college of the University of Oxford in England. Christ Church is a joint foundation of the college and the Cathedral of the Oxford diocese, which serves as the college chapel and whose dean is ex officio the college head.
'The City of Dreaming Spires' is known for its distinctive architecture and holds the unique accolade of having examples of every architectural period going as far back as Saxon times. Wander its quaint cobbled streets on a walking tour of the city with our expert tour guide, who will bring the history and charm of this ancient city to life.

Fantastic experience, a wonderful guide with vast knowledge; I recommend it!!!
Very good, competent and efficient guide
Very beautiful excursion. Angela is very knowledgeable and shares her knowledge well. Our driver Christian is very friendly and funny. The only "hiccup" was the pickup. Few directions were given and we did not know where to go in the station.
I would not recommend this tour. I didn’t read the fine print, only the title, when I booked. Oops. Windsor castle was closed, but the tour company thought walking around the outside was good enough. I booked an English tour but went on a bilingual tour. A lot of time to learn was lost because the guide had to explain things in two languages. The guide had a strong Spanish accent so I couldn’t understand half of what was being said. When we got to Windsor we were rushed. Only 15 minutes of free time. Stonehenge was amazing and we had plenty of time there. Oxford was ok. Informative but again, hard to understand half the knowledge being shared. The day took as long as they said it would. There was only time throughout the day to get grab-n-go items and eat on the bus. Overall the day did not feel like it was worth my time or money.
Our tour guide Kevin was super knowledgeable and funny! I was impressed with his Japanese as well. He essentially gave two tours at once: English and Japanese! Mentor was our driver and I felt absolutely safe with him behind the wheel.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your fantastic review. We’re delighted to hear Kevin’s knowledge, humour and impressive bilingual commentary made your tour so enjoyable. We’ll also be sure to pass your kind words on to Mentor for providing such a safe and comfortable journey. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Evan Evans
Great tour and guide Godfrey was the best.

Oxford was a short walk to see some of the university it was just ok. Then off to Windsor castle. The castle was great but not enough time to see the entire castle. Then off to Stonehenge. Very interesting. Our tour guide was good maybe a little to much information. The big problem was to go to all three places takes a lot of drive time and the bus driver can only be on the job for a certain amount of time so we we were not dropped off back at Victory coach station which was a problem for people. This is unacceptable this needs to be part of the booking so people can plan. I am sure this happens quite often. Seeing all three places was cool but doesn’t seem to be enough time to see all three with four to five hours of driving.
Very interesting visit and the guide (Scheila) was very friendly, available, and knowledgeable. We were sorry to have had little time for Windsor Castle
Gentili ospiti, Grazie mille per la vostra recensione. Siamo lieti di sapere che avete trovato la visita molto interessante e che Scheila è stata una guida simpatica, disponibile e preparata. Ci dispiace che il tempo al Castello di Windsor sia sembrato un po’ breve, e apprezziamo il vostro feedback. Cordiali saluti, Evan Evans
