Windsor Castle
Windsor is the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world, is the home of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We will visit the magnificent State Apartments, furnished with some of the finest works of art and still used for State occasions; St George’s Chapel, where the tombs of many kings and Queens lie, notably Henry VIII and his third wife Jane Seymour and the Queen Mary's Dolls House, the most famous dolls house in the world.
Mysterious Stonehenge
5,000 years ago these 40 ton rocks were dragged to the lonely windy plain of Salisbury Hill, and their secrets continue to tantalise and intrigue scholars and visitors to this day. Some say that Stonehenge was a religious temple, others that it was an astronomical clock, or a Bronze Age burial ground. Learn more about this iconic monument steeped in mystery and legend, and let your imagination be captivated by its silent, ancient mysteries.
Bath
Standing on the slopes of the River Avon, this beautiful Georgian city was the first city in England to be designated a World Heritage Site. On our panoramic tour you will see Bath Abbey, where the first British King was crowned in 973AD, the famous Pulteney Bridge modelled on the Florentine Ponte Vecchio and the stunning architecture of the Royal Crescent.
Roman Baths
We will visit the Roman Baths that made the city famous, the best preserved Roman Spa from the ancient world, but then tantalizingly hidden from view until the 1870’s. Here we will also witness the torch lighting ceremony when the torches around the Great Roman Bath are lit at dusk (not applicable in Summer) and exclusively for Golden Tours clients there is an opportunity to drink a glass of spa water straight from the historic Pump Rooms.
We will return to London around 20:00pm.
