Arrival
Welcome to the incredible capital of the United Kingdom - London! Upon arrival, you are met by your private driver, who transfers you to the hotel for check-in.
The rest of the day is free so you can start exploring the magnificent city center on your own, dine in one of the local restaurants or take a good rest in your comfortable room.
London City Tour
Following breakfast in your hotel begin your full day (up to 8 hours) guided walking tour around the iconic landmarks of London. We have booked a 2- day pass for the London tube for you, so you can experience the famous London transportation system and save time on traffic.
Together with your professional guide, you begin your tour with the legendary Tower of London. Your tour continues to the must-see of the city: the 700-year-old Westminster Abbey, which you explore from the outside and the inside. You also see one of London's most famous landmarks - the Houses of Parliament's clock tower Big Ben, officially known as Elizabeth Tower.
After the tour, you return back to your hotel. The rest of the day is free.
Day Trip to Windsor Castle
Today you go on a day trip to the picturesque Windsor Castle, which has been the family home to British kings and queens for over 1,000 years.
After breakfast go to the train station (transfer not included) to board your train for a quick ride to Windsor Castle. Upon arrival, your private guide meets you at the rail station and takes you to the castle. During your tour, the guide shows you around the castle and shares all the exciting stories it holds!
The size of the Castle (5 hectares/13 acres) is breathtaking, in fact, it is the largest and oldest occupied Castle in the world and it’s where Her Majesty The Queen chooses to spend most of her private weekends.
You visit the magnificent State Apartments furnished with some of the finest works of art from the Royal Collection, take a tour of St. George's Chapel, admire the changing of the guards and much more. Your tour ends with a walk along the amazing parks.
After the tour you return to your hotel in London. The rest of the day is free.
Kindly note, the Castle is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Day Trip to Oxford & Cotswold Villages
You head northwest out of London, passing through the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The picturesque countryside here has inspired the television shows Midsomer Murders and Vicar of Dibley.
Your first stop is Oxford, where you have time to explore the precincts of the many colleges, climb to the vantage points to admire the skyline, or see the art and antiquities collections in the Ashmolean Museum.
You stop in Burford, the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’. This is a small market town with enormous character and depth. The main street is lined with all those quaint properties that you’ve dreamt of owning. You have time here to take in the local charm and hospitality; and if you’re hungry, you can try a traditional English ‘Afternoon Tea’.
Then, you make the short journey to Bibury. This place was described by William Morris as the prettiest village in England, and Henry Ford wanted to dismantle it and ship it back to the USA. You have time here to stroll to the famous and fairytale-like Arlington Row.
After a full day exploring the city of Oxford and the villages of the Cotswolds, you embark on the comfortable return journey to London.
Free Day in London
Today is a free day for you to explore London on your own! There is still plenty to see, and one of the suggestions would be to visit the Shard skyscraper, which opens great panoramic views of the city or to explore famous Stonehenge.
Alternatively, you can choose to take one of our carefully planned optional tours.
Departure
Following breakfast in your hotel, you check out and meet your private driver for the transfer.
