Your day begins with a convenient pickup from your London hotel for private tours or Marylebone Station for mixed groups. Meet your friendly, knowledgeable guide and settle into a luxury vehicle with air conditioning and WiFi, setting the stage for an enjoyable day ahead.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the drive out of London into the rolling hills of the English countryside. Your guide will introduce you to the day’s itinerary and share fascinating tidbits about the intriguing Stonehenge monument, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience.

This romantic stone circle has stood here for over 4,500 years. Together with its surrounding prehistoric monuments, Stonehenge remains a powerful witness human imagination, ingenuity, and endeavour. Many theories have been proposed over the years about the function of Stonehenge. Is it the fossilized remains of ancient giants, a prehistoric temple, or a huge solar calendar? The only thing we can say for certain about Stonehenge is that we don’t know its true purpose, and maybe never will, which makes this mysterious place even more compelling. As a Tour Britannia customer you will avoid the long queues that build up at the ticket offices, even for pre-booked visitors. Tickets will be obtained on arrival by your guide who will also explain the background history of the stones, and generally help you to make the most of your time at this very special place.

Journey across Salisbury Plain, one of the largest areas of chalk downs in Europe. The plain has been the site oh human activity for millennia and is now a military training site. It’s not unusual to be held up by an armoured tank crossing the road!

Arrive in the city’s historic heart that has made this a World Heritage site. Bath has been welcoming visitors for over 2,000 years and is famous for its Roman baths, stunning medieval cathedral, and sweeping Georgian crescents. Your Tour Britannia guide will take you on a 20 minute introductory tour of historic Bath, then leave you to enjoy free time to explore at your leisure. We suggest a visit to the world-renowned Roman Baths and stunning Bath Abbey, then maybe grab a bite to eat at one of the many traditional tea rooms or pavement cafes.

Leaving Bath we climb quickly into the glorious Cotswold Hills on the way to Stratford-upon-Avon, our base for the next 2 days. Your guide will give you an introduction to the Cotswolds, setting the scene for the following day's adventure.
