The Best of England - Full-Day Tour

First, we head straight for Stonehenge, the most popular prehistoric monument in the world. Come and marvel at the huge 40-ton Sarsens and the volcanic blue stones that were brought from the Preseli Mountains over 280 miles away. Discover the mysteries that surround the slaughter stone and see the numerous earth barrows where the beaker people lie buried before heading through the Salisbury plains towards Bath.

Bath, a world heritage site, is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces and architecture. There will be plenty of time to shop and explore before we enjoy a drive through the Cotswolds. As we head north to Stratford, we drive through the heart of the Cotswolds, taking in breathtaking views of open countryside criss-crossed by dry stone walls and bustling market towns with magnificent perpendicular churches.

Then it's on to Stratford-upon-Avon, Birthplace of William Shakespeare, the greatest writer in the English language, and home to the Royal Shakespeare Company. Stratford is a charming market town set in the heart of rural England. A delightful river winds its way through the town, past the beautiful Holy Trinity church, where Shakespeare lies buried. Our tour includes an exclusive visit to Shakespeare's birthplace before we enjoy Champagne and Strawberry scones, served in his picturesque garden.

Shakespeare's Schoolroom was built in the 15th century. Young William was taught in this very room in the 1570s. It is where he wrote his first works. If you select the option with Shakespeare's School ticket, it includes a private and exclusive tour. We will also include a school lesson! Get a taste of what it was like to be a student at Tudor School with Master Thomas Jenkins, William Shakespeare's teacher.
