Discover Windsor, Oxford and Stonehenge
Overview
Pick three of the UK’s most popular locations off your bucket list with this affordable day trip from London. See the royal town of Windsor and soak in mesmerising sights of Windsor Castle, the venue for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, see the world-famous Stonehenge and the university town of Oxford.
Windsor
The town of Windsor is famous around the world for being the home of Windsor Castle, the official residence of Her Majesty The Queen. Windsor sits on the River Thames and is a quintessentially English town with its cobbled streets and quaint tea rooms. The picturesque Windsor is rich in history, culture and heritage and it’s no wonder why it tops the list of must-visit UK locations for most tourists.
Stonehenge
The 5,000-year-old Stonehenge monument is one of Britain’s most intriguing and famous landmarks. Sitting atop rugged Salisbury Plain, Stonehenge’s origins still continue to baffle experts and visitors alike. We don’t know who put these huge rocks there, or why but you can have the chance to piece together the evidence and try to work it out for yourself! Theories stem from a Bronze Age burial ground to an astronomical clock, so do some investigating of your own as the tour travels to this famous location.
Oxford
From Stonehenge, the tour will move on to the university town of Oxford. Take a stroll through the scenic cobbled streets and get acquainted with the historic city during a guided walking tour. See the Colleges of Oxford University, the oldest university in the English-speaking world! Alumni include T.S. Eliot, Hugh Grant and Bill Clinton – a star-studded lineup! You will also see the 17th-century Bodleian Library, where countless scholars have studied over the years.

Muy buena experiencia con nuestro guía Saul. Muy documentado y atento. Buses de buena calidad y comida (lunch) a bordo

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la journée, ça permet de rentabiliser le temps en faisant un maximum de choses en une journée ! C'est presque un peu court pour moi (je suis du genre à lire tous les panneaux explicatifs) mais on a le temps de se faire une idée. À Oxford, on a préféré se promener dans la ville, très jolie et qui vaut bien qu'on y passe une journée entière. Merci beaucoup à Graham et Amrish, pour le voyage, les anecdotes, la petite surprise sur le trajet et votre bonne humeur :)

It was a good service, but the lunch was a little poor. Other than that, the tour was quite good. The attractions are incredible. It's really worth it.
- Raquella h · IT2021-10-17Traveler review
Our guide Graham and driver Allan spoilt us for a fantastic day out. Graham's typical London style and humour were on point. His knowledge of the sights was fantastic. "Lovely jubbly diddly dies" will be our catchphrase for the rest of our trip! Highly recommend touring with Graham and privatetour.com

Excelente servicio de Graham and Kiram. Fueron más que amables. No se limitan a dar una explicación, sino que se interesan por tus gustos y lo que es mejor según tu tiempo. Graham llegó al grado de alterar un poco el clásico recorrido de Oxford para mostrarnos dónde se filmó parte de Harry Potter..., y posteriormente nos dejó bajar del autobús al pasar frente a nuestro hotel.
- Laura C · US2021-10-16Traveler review
Great opportunity for those who wanna go to the three destinations and don’t wanna spend a full day on each. There were some things missing, for example, we didn’t have time to visit the dining room from Harry Potter at Oxford. The guide was really nice! Ps.: bring something to cover your ears because at Stonehenge it winds so much!

Loved this day trip to 3 amazing locations. Graham was a very enthusiastic tour guide who helped us understand each location we visited and pointed out attractions along the way. He was very organized and timely. Great day, great trip.
- Reifhaus · US2021-10-14Traveler review
Graham was our tour guide and did an amazing job. The castle, Stonehenge and Oxford were WONDERFUL but Graham added much to the depth of our experience with background info and current events affecting the areas. Travel was heavy but Amrish the driver did an excellent job. Both men were gentlemen and never made us feel rushed or that we had a foolish question. This tour was the best we took in the UK
- enoliv241425 · ES2021-10-14Traveler review
La excursion esta interesante y es la forma de realizarla, aunque en algún que otro momento se haga un poco pesada. El grupo estaba compuesto por españoles, ingleses, y americanos, por ese motivo fue en los dos idiomas.La excursion la realizamos a finales de agosto, y el tiempo nos acompaño, no hizo mucho frio, solamente en Stonehenge.Dar las gracias a Saúl nuestro guía, que en alguna ocasión se tenia que poner serio, pero siempre educado, jajaja que difícil es eso, y a nuestro conductor Adrian. En definitiva recomiendo la excursión. Gracias

I'm Italian and the last summer, 2017, I visited London with my son, 13, for the second time together. London is magnificent and very interesting as always, of course. I wanted to visit Stonehenge with my son and took advantage of this daily tour recommended by my travel agency. It was a wonderful experience. The weather was beautiful and we had the pleasure of being accompanied by a prepared and very nice guide, Tony. Immediately he explained to us that to enjoy the trip we had to respect the times. Both Windsor and Oxford certainly deserve a whole day. Stonehenge is unique. For a passionate, it is a visit to do at least once in life. Thanks to Tony, for his sympathy, his explanations and his attention. And thanks to him for pointing out to us with his behaviour and his words how important is the figure of the Queen for the English. Thanks to Tony and Graham, the bus trip was quiet and precise. We will definitely choose privatetour.com again in the future for our excursions. A foresight, for a non-Londoner, is not easy to immediately draw the starting point because Fountain Square is very large, it would be to indicate a little more flashy.

Excelente tour! Sasha es una impecable guía de touristas con muchos conocimiento y Romeo es perfecto al volante, súper recomendable!!

My family and I were visiting from the US, and we wanted to see Stonehenge since it wasn't too far away from London. We didn't know when we'd travel to the UK again, so the tour was a must! We went on the Oxford, Windsor and Stonehenge tour, and we were greeted by *GRAHAM* as we got on the bus. He was a wonderful tour guide! We could definitely tell that he loves his job. He made us feel welcomed, and he was very informative about each of the areas that we visited. He also was clear about how long we had to visit each site so that no one was left behind. The tour day was long. There is a lot of time travelling between each location, so there is downtime to rest and relax. We purchased the lunch with the tour, as well, which was adequate to fill us up. We had approximately two hours or so at each stop. I see how some could feel rushed, but the length of time at each location was enough to see what we wanted. GRAHAM recommended a pub to go to when we returned to London. The place was packed, so it was definitely the place to be! The food and beers were delicious, so we appreciated the recommendation.ALAN, our driver, was also great. He got us to each location safely and kept us comfortable on the ride all day. CHEERS to Graham and Alan!

f you have only one day to look around it's a good option out of London. Be aware that the time is short in each touristic spot and the bus was not prepared to hot days. Eugene and Chyral were amazing!
- Kyle P · GB2021-10-11Traveler review
Lally was an amazing driver who got us to every destination on time and safely! Graham was extremely knowledgeable about Oxford and told interesting information about the trip in-between. I truly appreciated Graham's stern ability to control the talkers on the bus while I was trying to listen to what he was trying to say.
- kimch 7085 r · GB2021-10-10Traveler review
<p>Rhys is wonderful. He is knowledgeable about the History of Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Oxford. The point appreciated me is that he is willing to discuss during the moderate coach travelling time, one by one on any questions. We can explore the Windsor, Discuss any Theory on the Stonehenge and tell us quite a couples of stories on Oxford that match with modern days movies such as Harry Potter and X-men. At the end of the tour, Rhys is willing to teach one-by-one on travel long back to our hotel Last, he also teaches us quite a couple of shopping places other than Oxford Street, Regent Street and SOHO area. Many thanks !!</p>
- Kayley B · US2021-10-10Traveler review
This tour is a great way to fit three awesome attractions into one day. Unfortunately, you don't get to spend a lot of time in either of the three locations, but you get enough to see the main points of interest. The bus was comfortable and our driver, Romeo, did an excellent job. The highlight for us was our tour guide, Andrew. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He made Oxford a very special place for us to visit because of his memories there. Would highly recommend the Eagle and Child pub in Oxford for a quick drink before returning back to London! We had a great day.

El servicio muy Profesional de Saul Nos encanto visitar tres lugares magicos en un dia.El tiempo que pasamos en el castillo de Windsor fue el apropiado para entrar sacar fotos y conocer un poco la manera de vivir de la realeza inglesa.Stonehenge quien haya investigado un poco de este lugar quedara prendado....nos encanto... Oxford lamentablemente estuvimos dos horas alli Nos quedamos con sabor a poco creo que es aconsejable ir por lo menos todo un medio dia ya que es un lugar magico e invita a conocer mas de este precioso lugar Nos encanto

S kamarádkou jsme si zakoupily celodenní zájezd se spol.Golden Tours a byl to opravdu příjemný výlet. Najít autobus poblíž Victoria station byla trošku výzva ale nakonec se nám to podařilo. Řidič Kris i průvodce Eugene byli velmi milý a cesta díky nim nebyla únavná ani nudná. Eugene měl vždy co říct jak z historie, tak i zábavné historky. Musím pochválit i dámy z rezervační kanceláře, byli velmi ochotné a udělali pro naší spokojenost maximum. Rozhodně doporučuji tuto kancelář.This trip was really nice, comfortable and we enjoyed it. The driver Kris and guide Eugene were great. We had a lot of fun.
- Matthew L · US2021-10-09Traveler review
Our driver was Tony and our tour guide was Sandra, they worked excellently as a team. Very informative, plenty of jokes and the drive went through certain areas which allowed us to see plenty extra from a distance. Fitting those 3 attractions into one day is certainly packed, so come prepared, listen to to the tour guide, and in general stay with the group. You will get a quick look at each of the attractions, but don't expect a whole lot of time. I personally thought it was about right though, for the number of activities that are fit into one day.
- Ccari01 · US2021-10-06Traveler review
We had an early start to a busy day. We took the option of being picked up from a hotel on Park Lane. We were driven to the central tour terminal where we joined our tour group. It was all very well organized. We went to Windsor first.W e got to see the town, the train station, the castle museum and the castle grounds. We were lucky to see the castle guards perform on the grounds. Very good performance. The Stonehenge was our next destination. We got to see a lot of the English countryside. Our bus drove along a route that gave us a glimpse of the Ascot grounds. We were provided with lunch on the road. It was okay because we had time to grab more food at Stonehenge and Oxford. The Stonehenge was awesome. For a history buff like me -it was absolutely gorgeous. The facilities were excellent-bathrooms, gift shop, the food shop. Our last stop was Oxford. We got to see the town. Since the university was spread out all over town, this tour was not enough to cover a total Oxford tour. We were disappointed that it did not include the Dining Halls made famous by the Harry Potter movies. The architecture of Oxford was gorgeous. We got to London early evening. There was no drop off service.We took the underground to our hotel in Mayfair.
- Be · GR2021-10-04Traveler review
The excursion was in English and Spanish languages (!). The really talented guide Barrie Saul successfully led all information in both of languages one after another. It could sound strange, but actually, it gives you an opportunity to just relax during another language or even to try to learn it:) Also, time per each place was quite small. So if you want to see all Windsor castle or Oxford or Stonehenge and not in rush better to take a separate excursion for it. Nevertheless, if you have just a few days in London this is a great opportunity at least to see part of these amazing places, which by the way quite far from each other.
- RevierwerKate · US2021-10-03Traveler review
This review is actually a couple of months late. We did the privatetour.com Oxford University, Windsor, and Stonehenge tour in early March, but I decided that this review is better late than never. Graham was our tour guide, and Prince was our driver, and the tour was excellent! The first stop was Windsor Castle. For this tour, we were given an audio device so that we can tour the castle at our own pace. One thing to watch out for is that it's so easy, as a tourist, to get sucked into a gift shop and spend precious time getting cool souvenirs. Tourists should always keep in mind that the Castle is huge and time is limited. The State Apartments, for me, was the highlight, so make sure that there's enough time for that. The second stop was Stonehenge, and although it really is just a pile of rocks if one were to think about it, it really is quite enchanting. Since our visit was during the close of winter, it was still quite cold and windy, so it was really hard to hang out by the rocks for a long time. We did the 360 degrees walk around it, took photos, took a few minutes here and there to look at it and experience being in its presence, and then we rushed back to the shuttle that took us to the actual location. Graham gave us a tour of Oxford University. He was very knowledgeable, warm, approachable, and funny, and best of all, he pointed out Harry Potter-related trivia. Oxford University was beautiful, as expected, and the stories that Graham told were really interesting. If there's anything to complain about, it's the packed lunch, but I honestly didn't really expect much, so I can't really take a star off when the tour itself was so enjoyable. I will definitely book another tour with privatetour.com again!
- Macinderver · US2021-09-28Traveler review
We were very happy with our tour and our tour guide (Graham). I understand people saying they wanted more time at some places but you cover a lot of ground in a day here and we felt like we got a good feel for all three places. As long as you understand you're not going in deep at any one place you'll be very happy with the tour. We also got the best restaurant recommendation from Graham as we disembarked (Hereford Arms).
- Danielle S · GB2021-09-27Traveler review
This is my boyfriend and I’s first trip to London, and this tour popped up as one of the things to do in London. We booked it and we got there nice and easy. Eugene and Chris were super nice and had great humour! The stops were breathtaking and the guides had a plethora of information to share which was super interesting! We knew it was going to be good, but we had no idea it was going to be a memory of a lifetime! We will never forget this trip! Thank you so much, Eugene, Chris, and the privatetour staff!

Hicimos esta excursion don privatetour.com con el guia Saul, muy ameno bien explicado y sobre todo bien controlado en puntualidad, un tour de 10 se nos hizo corto, siempre quedan cosas por ver
- Nikki B · GB2021-09-23Traveler review
Graham is the tour guide you want. Knowledgeable, engaging and fun. The tours are professional yet fun and flexible. The buses offer WiFi, USB charging ports, and are comfortable. We took our 4-year-old on a full day tour and had a great experience. Will definitely take their tours again especially if we get guide Graham and driver Amrish.
- Hannah J · US2021-09-18Traveler review
First, the trip alone was amazing. Comfortable bus, wifi, could not ask for more. SECOND, our guide Oliver was amazing, so knowledgeable, funny and thoughtful (it was 8 pm on a 2-hour ride back to London from Stonehenge and Oliver stopped at a local supermarket so we could get food). I would highly recommend ANY tour with Evans and Evans and I would cross my fingers to get Oliver as a guide.
- Adrian103 · US2021-09-17Traveler review
I agree with the previous reviewer (I think we were on the same tour) that the guide Andrew did a great job and made the tour interesting with some personal insights and humour. He exceeded our expectations. And another big plus was that they got us to Windsor ahead of 95% of the other tour buses which saved us an hour or more waiting in line to get in. I was worried about another review that the privatetour.com system was inadequate but it seemed okay and we were comfortable. I would just recommend trying to find seats with not kids or parents holding kids behind you which kick the seat :/ (it was bearable). Also since it takes up a lot of time travelling from destination to destination, in hindsight I would not do more than two destinations in one day to have more time at each. I would cut Stonehenge out of this tour if I could as its a bit anti-climatic. Not really worth the time or cost in my humble opinion.
- Sergio S · MX2021-09-09Traveler review
Si bien no son visitas extraordinarias, son fundamentales para una visita a Londres. Pero lo que se destaca por sobre todo es el profesionalismo del guía Saúl, que en nuestro caso excedió su trabajo y nos solucionó un inconveniente con unas entradas al teatro. Saúl, un gran abrazo !

This was a wonderful day trip. Seeing Stonehenge was a highlight for me but Windsor and Oxford were also magnificent. The deep history in each place is really wild to me. I loved it. We were on a 2-week trip so we did many different tours and saw many sites and I would suggest always getting a guide. The experience isn't quite the same without someone giving you amazing facts about the places you are visiting. Our tour guide was Ivan and our driver was Armando. They were such nice people. You almost felt like you were with friends. Ivan really seemed to love his job and you could tell that right away. He was super happy and excited to share all of these facts about each place we visited. I think that truly makes a difference when you are on tours like these (especially the full day trips). Having a guide who enjoys what he's doing as opposed to someone who seems to just be going through the motions to get paid. All in all the places were beautiful and exciting and I would definitely recommend taking a day to do this if you are in London.
- Maria Laura C · MX2021-07-20Traveler review
El tour esta bueno. Te lleva a estos tres sitios que son lugares “emblema” de Inglaterra. Si tienen la oportunidad de ir, no lo duden. Lamentablemente no hay demasiado tiempo en cada uno de ellos por lo cual la realidad es que se pasa más en viaje que en los propios lugares pero para nosotros era la única opción ya que al momento de hacerlo solo nos quedaba un día en londres y era la forma de conocer estos tres lugares que son impresionantes. Lamentablemente no tuvimos mucha suerte en el Castillo de Winsor ya que los apartamentos estaban cerrados y era para nosotros lo más interesante de ver (esto no tiene que ver con la organización del tour claro...pero si restó un poco a la experiencia ya que dentro del castillo (fuera de la capilla que es hermosa) era lo más interesante . Sobre nuestra guia, Sacha, debemos decir que sin duda fue una gran guia. Nos dio muchísima información; siempre muy alegre y animada. Se interesó porque estuviéramos pasando bien todo el.Tiempo y aprovecho cada segundo para Dar información que nos aportaba sobre cada lugar. El bus súper cómodo, con aire y muy bien cuidado. Si tienes poco tiempo, recomiendo el tour aunque como te digo, es bien breve el tiempo que estás en cada lugar.
- Melissa M · US2021-07-10Traveler review
We were lucky to get in a smaller group with the most excellent guide. Sacha was vivacious, passionate, and attentive. She took the time to learn everyone’s names, checked with all participants, and ended the trip with a personalized thank you note. The trip goes quickly and definitely gave me ideas for a future visit. Our driver, Koli, was excellent, very friendly and efficient. The coach was comfortable and very clean. Windsor is lovely, Stonehenge is astonishing, and Oxford is impressive. I wished I had more time in all three places.
- Kelly K · US2021-06-23Traveler review
We are currently visiting London and only have 7 days to see the sites! I booked this tour because I wanted to see Stonehenge but knew it would be difficult to get there without a tour and probably more expensive. It worked out perfect that they had a tour that also went to Oxford! Another difficult to reach a destination without a car. I recommend getting there early. We got there right at 8 am (was scheduled to leave at 8:30) and ¾ of the bus was full. There were still seats together for 4 but no so much for the late birds of 8:05! Our tour ended up leaving early since everyone arrived early. This was good since we beat a lot of the other tour buses to Windsor. Long line to get into Windsor. Just expect it. Windsor was amazing! We loved it!!! Don’t miss St. George’s church! Stunning!!! We did not feel rushed but my kids make me do speed museum. Plan on keeping moving to see everything. Stonehenge was super cool but you don’t need much time there. We had fun acting like we were holding up the pillars in the pictures. Oxford was well worth it. Great quick one hour walk through with our tour guide, Pete. Can’t say enough about our great tour guide, Pete, and super cool bus driver, Cheryl! Thank you for a fun day. If you want more time at Windsor, it’s easy enough to get to from London. Looks like the area surrounding Windsor is pretty neat! The lunch was not substantial and it’s a very long day. I recommend eating something at Windsor (which you’ll have to do very quick) and bringing lots of snacks. I did get a little motion sick and so did my son. We are both very prone to motion sickness. Once the bus cooled it was better and we switched him to a front seat. I should have taken a diamine or Zofran. Also, booked our tickets through the visit London website and it saved us quite a bit of money.

This is a great and affordable way to visit all three places in one day. Our guide and driver, Eugene and Kieran, were incredibly professional and knowledgeable. They gave great suggestions for how to best spend our time in each area and were friendly the whole trip. I felt a little rushed at some of the stops we made but totally understand based on the time constraints and amount of places we were visiting.
- Erik M · US2021-05-23Traveler review
To end my trip to London with my girlfriend we ended with a tour of Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford. When we arrived we checked in and this energetic tour guide named Sacha grabbed several of us and took us away from the main bus stop. She told us that we were going to be part of a smaller group that would zip in and out of the sites. She is extremely knowledgeable and makes sure to entertain you during the tour. She made herself available for questions at all times and gave personal recommendations on what to do when we had free time to explore Oxford. I would recommend her to anyone as her excitement is contagious. Our driver, Koli, was super efficient and provided good conversations during the drive time.

Our tour guide, Antonio, was knowledgeable and did a great job throughout the day. He really added value and was a great resource. Time is limited, but getting to see Windsor Castle, Oxford and Stonehenge in one day(we needed to b/c we were only in London for a few days), is a great treat. Our driver, Fernando also was very polite and helpful. Overall, very organized and would recommend if you'd like a quick viewing of the 3 locations.
