England på en dag: dagstur til Stonehenge, Bath, Cotswolds og Stratford-upon-Avon fra London
Depart from near Victoria Railway Station in central London and leave the hustle and bustle behind you as you travel out into the English countryside by luxury coach. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride as London’s urban scenery gives way to the open greenery of the countryside.
First, head through the rolling Wiltshire plains to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Stonehenge, widely considered one of the most famous prehistoric monuments in the world. The enormous stones are believed to have been brought from the Preseli Mountains in Wales — a distance of over 280 miles (450 kilometers) — sometime between 3,000 BC and 2,000 BC, though to this day nobody is sure of the exact reasons for their arrangement and placement. Marvel at the huge stone circle, discover the many mysteries surrounding it and decide for yourself why Stonehenge was built.
Continue onward to the fine city of Bath, birthplace of authoress Jane Austin. Explore the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage-listed city — considered by many to be one of the prettiest cities in England — with your guide, and enjoy capturing its attractive Georgian architecture, crescents and terraces on camera. After your tour, enjoy a little free time to wander the cobbled streets and peruse the shops at your leisure.
Head north from Bath through the heart of the Cotswolds, widely thought of as one of the most beautiful stretches of countryside in England. Take in breathtaking views of open fields criss-crossed by dry stone walls as you travel, and bustling market towns with magnificent churches. Enjoy the spectacular scenery from the comfort of your coach.
Arrive in the charming town of Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare and home to the world-renowned Royal Shakespeare Company. Stratford is a charming market town set in the heart of rural England, with a delightful river winding its way slowly through the town. Enjoy Champagne and scones in Shakespeare's garden (the reception will take place indoors in winter), stretch your legs and explore Stratford to soak up the town’s wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. As of April 1, Shakespeare's birthplace will be replaced with a visit to Shakespeare's Schoolroom, with Champagne and scones included.
At the end of your time in Stratford-Upon-Avon, hop back in your coach for the return journey to London, where your tour will conclude.

Highly recommend. We saw 3 very interesting sites in one day. If you have not a lot of time....and want to see some really interesting places, this is the tour to do. Our guide was very professional and organized
Long day but you really see a lot! Plus tour guide (Gavin) was very imformative and fun. He made the trip more delightful!
It was really enjoyable and Magnus, our tour guide, has lots of stories to tell during our journey. Wish we had longer time in Bath but we covered many places. Overall, recommended.
All the places are very interesting and the tour was efficiently organised. The best of all is our guide Gavin who is so humorous, knowledgeable and friendly!
This was the second time for me and my granddaughter to visit Stonehenge and Bath but the first time for my wife. We had a good walk and nice time in both places and we got to know them better. Stratford-upon-Avon is a beautiful town .. We really enjoyed our time and visit there. The guide was very knowledgeable and professional.
We crammed in tons on this tour. It was wonderful to finally visit Bath and Stratford on Avon. Our guide was a hoot. Very informative and entertaining. While it was not too much for me, some people might have not been aware of the pace. Great tour.
Tour left on time from Victoria Coach Station. Allen was our tour guide. He is quite chatty and funny. Drove to Stonehenge and walked around. Drove to Bath. Bath is beautiful! We could have used more time in Bath. We had less than 2 hours there and there is a lot to see there. We also needed to find a place for lunch in Bath so we felt rushed. Long drive from Bath to Stratford-upon-Avon (2 hours). Had delays on the roads due to tractors which use the same roads. Visited Shakespeare’s schoolhouse. It happened to be the second hottest day on record and the schoolhouse had no air conditioning (didn’t expect it would given its’ age but a/c was needed). The schoolhouse lesson was okay. Had a little time to walk around the town before the 2 hour drive back to the city. Really appreciated how the bus driver and Allen were accommodating by offering other possible drop offs than Victoria coach station.
Our tour guide Steven Maynard was well versed and professional and our coach driver Tugay B. Kept us all safe and sound. Excellent driver!
My husband and I decided to take a day tour to see other parts of England other than London and Manchester, for a change this time around. This tour was a tie-up with Premium Tour company. We had nice big coach, an awesome driver and a very experienced tour guide, Jason. Jason is very knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time. With 20+ years of experience, we know that we are in good hands. However, Jason could have been more patient with tourists needing to confirm important information like where and when to meet up so that we do not miss the coach. Instead I got 'ridiculed' by him in front of everyone for checking again the meet up place. Bath and Stratford are not exactly within a stone's throw from London and no one wants to be stranded in the middle of nowhere in England. True enough, by the time we are all ready to depart from the last itinerary at Stratford-upon-Avon, one of the tour members was missing. She did not re-join the group. They tried to call her cell phone but she did not pick up. So we all left without her. Perhaps she was hesitant to seek confirmation after my incident. Who knows? Hope she came back safe and sound.
The day-long trip to Stonehenge, Bath, the Cotswolds and Stratford-Upon-Avon was wonderful. The weather contributed as it was a warm, sunny day. Plenty of time at Stonehenge before the big crowds arrived. Enough time in Bath to enjoy lunch and explore the city - very walkable. Driving through the Cotswolds was relaxing and very scenic. Our guide pointed out many attributes and gave a lot of interesting information. We would have liked more time in Stratford though. We really didn't get to explore the area at all. Enjoyed the presentation at Shakespeare's school but would have liked to have a little time to walk around. Our guide, Frank, was excellent. Very pleasant and knowledgeable with a great sense of humor.
Amazing !!! Highly recommend ! Beautiful scenery , saw so much ! Jason was great! We had the perfect day !
Fantastic trip! Well worth the money. Bus left at 8:00 on time and back in London at approx 20:30Magnus guided well and made the trip even more interesting and fun. Overall a fantastic day out of London and great fun.
We had an excellent tour guide who shared lots of information on the history of all the areas visited. We highly recommend this tour! We could not have had a better guide or driver!!
I will recommend first-timers to just choose Stonehenge and Bath. Cotswolds will just a drive pass-by. There was no stop overs due to time constraint. Stonehenge was 1 hour stop. Bath was 2 hours stop. Going through the Bath museum was about 30-45mins excluding Lunch. Cotswolds was a drive-past. Stratford upon Avon was 1 hour with 30mins of experience at Shakespeare's school.
It is worth spending a full day covering 3 key major sites. I enjoyed very much in comfortable bus hearing a tour guide explanation. I rate it the best.
Felt very rushed. The tour guide seemed annoyed with his job. Beautiful sights.
I wish there was more time in Bath but over all we had a great time. This tour helped maximize our UK experience in a short amount of time.
