[Super Value Chinese/English] One-day tour to Windsor Castle, Oxford, and Stonehenge in the UK (round trip from London)

Reasons for recommendation

Route Overview

London ‣ Windsor ‣ Stonehenge ‣ Oxford ‣ London

If you have a short stay in the UK, this is a worthwhile itinerary that you won't regret. It combines the three most representative and classic elements of Britain: royalty, cultural heritage, and top-tier universities.

Specific route.

Windsor

Windsor, arguably Britain's most famous royal town, also known as "the Royal Borough," is located near London. It's renowned for Windsor Castle and Eton College. Many parts of the town still retain their medieval English character. Visitors can explore Windsor Castle, stroll leisurely through the town, and enjoy a traditional afternoon tea.

Stonehenge

Located on Salisbury Plain, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the UK and one of the most mysterious ancient monuments in the world. The construction of Stonehenge took a full 1000 years. People from all over the world gaze at these Neolithic stones, marveling at how they were put in place and why. It may be instantly recognizable, but it holds far more than is immediately apparent. To this day, 20,000 people visit Stonehenge every year on the summer solstice, when the sun reaches its highest point, to celebrate the longest day of the year!

Oxford (China)

The town is ancient and tranquil, yet permeated with a strong academic atmosphere. Oxford University is arguably the main reason people visit this city. This world-renowned institution has cultivated numerous outstanding talents for the world over the past 800 years. In addition, it is also the origin of the fairy tale "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Although the town of Oxford is not large, it is equally fascinating. In this city, you can stroll along the many colleges and experience the academic culture.

Frequently Asked Questions

• (China) If I purchase a senior/student ticket, do I need to bring a valid ID on the day of the tour?

  To purchase senior or student discount tickets, you must bring your identification document on the day of the tour. Otherwise, you may be denied use of the discount ticket.

• If I'm late, can the bus and tour guide wait for me?

  No. The bus will strictly adhere to the boarding time. If you are not on time, you will be considered a "no-show," and you will either need to catch up with the group at the next attraction on your own or forfeit your tour. Please arrive at the departure point 15 minutes in advance and locate your tour group.

• Is a Chinese-speaking tour guide service guaranteed?

  Chinese-speaking guided tours are usually available during the peak tourist season in the UK, from May to September. In rare cases, the minimum number of participants may not be met the day before departure. If this happens, we will offer you a free refund, or you can choose an English-speaking tour of the same route or another Chinese-speaking guided tour that is guaranteed to run.

• Are there guided tours available at the attraction?

  Most tour guides will accompany you into the attractions and provide professional commentary. However, Windsor Castle has a special rule that tour guides are not allowed inside, so you will need to rent a multilingual audio guide upon entry.

• Is the pick-up location inside the Victoria Coach Station?

  No, the pick-up location is not inside the long-distance bus station. It's about a 10-minute walk from the station; please check the map.

• Does booking guarantee the tour will run?

  English-speaking tours on this route are guaranteed to run year-round, but Chinese-speaking tours require secondary confirmation if they are not during peak season.

• How big is the group?

  This is a bus tour, typically using buses with around 50 seats. Day tours will accept bookings until the day before departure, so it's difficult to predict the final number of participants.

• How far in advance do I need to book?

  To avoid disappointment, it's best to book as early as possible, especially during the summer holidays.

• Where do the group members come from?

  The group members come from all over the world, so this is a great opportunity to meet new friends.

• Could you please provide the phone number of the tour guide or driver?

  No, because it involves personal privacy. However, we will inform you of the emergency contact number and your booking number in the tour notification. If you have any questions, you can call the emergency number.

• Do you offer hotel pick-up and drop-off services?

  Since this is a group tour, hotel pick-up and drop-off services are not provided. However, the tour's meeting point is conveniently located in central London and near a subway station.

• Why are the meeting and dismissal locations for the tour not at the same address?

  Due to our drivers' legal working hour restrictions, this tour will conclude within a 2-3 minute walk of Gloucester Road Underground Station. The station is located in Zone 1 and is three stops east on the Circle or District lines from Victoria. The Piccadilly line also runs through Gloucester Road, and it's only five stops from Piccadilly Circus.
  

• Can I choose not to include tickets when booking and instead buy them on-site at the attraction entrance?

  Yes, you can, but we don't recommend it if you plan to enter the attractions. Firstly, the ticket price included in the package is a group price, which is cheaper than buying it on the spot. Secondly, the tour guide will lead the group directly through the group entrance. During the summer peak season, the queue for individual tickets at the entrance can be very long, and you might not have enough time to meet up with the group. Thirdly, some popular attractions have sold out on-site this summer. To avoid disappointment, we recommend you choose a package that includes tickets when booking.
