Panoramic tour of London
Our day begins with a drive past many of London's famous monuments - the Houses of Parliament with Big Ben, Downing Street, the official London residence of the British Prime Minister, Trafalgar Square with the statue of Lord Nelson, Pall Mall and much more.
Westminster Abbey
We will make a photo stop at this magnificent Gothic building that has been the site of every coronation since 1066 and is also the final resting place of many Kings and Queens of England, as well as famous people including Sir Laurence Olivier, Charles Dickens and Sir Isaac Newton.
Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guard
We alight at Buckingham Palace, to witness the Queen's Foot Guard in their red tunics and bearskins marching to the accompaniment of a military band - a colorful spectacle. (Or we will visit Horseguards Parade when this ceremony not available).
Oxford
For over 900 years the university town of Oxford has been renowned as a center of academic excellence. Among its famous students were Bill Clinton, Lewis Carroll and C.S. Lewis. Enjoy a gentle walking tour with your guide through narrow alleys and ancient squares where time stands still. We will see the Bodleian Library and the beautiful college courtyards and of course Christ Church - made famous by Harry Potter movies.
Mysterious Stonehenge
5,000 years ago these huge 40-ton rocks were dragged to the lonely, windy plain of Salisbury Hill, and their secrets continue to tantalize 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.
