Windsor Castle, Bath and Stonehenge tour
Why you should buy your ticket on Viaggia Piccoli.
Highlights
Complete this fascinating tour with a visit to the suggestive Roman baths.
Windsor Castle
Steeped in history, Windsor Castle stands proudly on a lush, wooded hill overlooking the River Thames. Dating back to Norman times, with extensive landscaped gardens and the Round Tower turret, it's easy to see why it's the King's favorite royal weekend residence, Windsor. Enjoy a fascinating keyhole peek into the sumptuous State Apartments, home to priceless works of art by Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci, and visit St George's Chapel, the evocative resting place of former monarchs including Henry VIII. You can visit Queen Mary's Dolls House, a truly incredible structure complete with working lifts, running water, electricity and bottles of wine, all in miniature!
The mysterious Stonehenge
The true meaning of this ancient and majestic creation has been lost in the mists of time. Was Stonehenge a sun-worshipping temple, a healing center, a burial site, or perhaps a huge calendar? How did our ancestors manage to transport these mighty stones from so far away and then, using only the most primitive tools, build this extraordinary structure? Surrounded by mystery, Stonehenge never ceases to amaze.
Bath
Sitting proudly on the slopes of the River Avon, beautiful Bath was the first city in England to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The stunning 15th century Bath Abbey, stunning Georgian architecture, the romantic Pulteney Bridge, modeled on Florence's Ponte Vecchio, are all places to linger over as you reminisce about your day.
Roman baths and pump rooms
No tour of Bath would be complete without a visit to the famous Roman baths that gave the city its name. The water from Britain's only thermal spring still flows through this beautifully preserved seaside complex. Marvel at the dazzling torch lighting ceremony as dusk falls (not applicable in summer) and sip the healing waters of Bath in the Pump Room, a stunning neoclassical salon.
