My husband's birthday couldn't go unnoticed, and the best gift was the invitation to Windsor Castle. It was wonderful; we saw the chapel where Queen Elizabeth is buried, and I was very moved. We took many photos in the garden. It was a worthwhile experience.

I loved our tour guid she was absolutly amazing and brilliant. We got to learn so much of the history about these places with a lot of laughter in between. Everything was scheduled perfectly in the right order and so we had plenty of time and opportunities to go to the restroom and to have a snack or a drink. This was an amzing experience, thank you!

The Garden were beautiful, even in winter. To be able to be indoors surrounded by majestic jungles of plants & varieties were impressive. I hope to be back from Australia this year 2026 in spring to return & see it all in bloom. My favourite glass house content was the Australian one, the smell when you first enter was beautiful & calming. The original glass houses are beautiful structures & shapes.

Great day out the green houses was beautiful , the tree top walk was fantastic and the grounds was amazing. Did not see the Japanese tower as it was close, so maybe a trip back again in the near future. 👍

A well run venue with friendly, helpful staff. Everywhere was clean especially the toilets-always judge a place by its toilets. A huge variety of things to do for all ages. Pretty good on signage although would like to have more maps about the place and something denoting age range of activity areas. Not that impresssd with app. Would like to be able to access the map easier.

# An unforgettable day trip with Chrissy & “Stan the Man”! We joined the full-day Windsor Castle, Stonehenge & Roman Bath tour from London, and it was absolutely fantastic! The meeting point is inside Victoria Coach Station — not outside on the corner as shown on the picture you receive beforehand — so make sure to go inside the building to check in. Our wonderful tour guide was Chrissy, and our driver was the legendary “Stan the Man.” From start to finish, Chrissy made the whole experience truly special. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and has a wonderful storytelling voice. Throughout the journey, she shared tons of fun side facts, interesting history, and added just the right touch of humor that kept everyone engaged and entertained. The tour was very well organized — all entrance fees were included, which made everything super convenient. We visited Windsor Castle first, then Stonehenge, and finally the Roman Baths. Do keep in mind that at each stop, you don’t have a huge amount of time to explore every detail in depth — but that’s completely understandable, as it’s a full-day tour covering several major highlights. We found the time at each location to be just right for getting a great overview. A small tip: bring some snacks or lunch with you, since there isn’t much time for proper meal stops. You’re allowed to eat and drink on the bus (just no hot drinks or warm/strong-smelling food). All in all, it was a wonderful and memorable experience. A huge thank you to Chrissy and Stan the Man for making the day so enjoyable! We would absolutely book another tour with Evan Evans again anytime.

Why combine Windsor Castle and Oxford on a one-day trip?

Stress-free travels

Optional upgrade

Things to know before booking your Windsor and Oxford tour

Travel in comfort: Your ticket includes air-conditioned coach transfers from central London. Try to arrive a little early to get the best seats and start your day relaxed while enjoying the beautiful English countryside.
What’s included: With this ticket, you can enjoy guided visits to Windsor Castle and Oxford, including transfers, an English-speaking guide, and a multilingual audio guide.
Windsor town: Windsor is a charming town worth exploring through and through. Take a leisurely stroll through its streets, peek into local shops, enjoy a coffee, and uncover hidden corners with insider tips from your guide.
Windsor Castle highlights: There’s plenty to see at Windsor Castle. If your time is limited, make sure to visit the State Apartments, Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, and St George’s Chapel. Don’t miss the Changing the Guard ceremony, which usually takes place at 11am on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Oxford highlights: Oxford has its own special charm. Wander through historic streets, explore centuries-old colleges, and be sure to visit tucked-away cafes, secret courtyards, and beautiful libraries.
Stonehenge sightseeing: Your ticket also includes access to Stonehenge. It’s a fascinating site with plenty to see. While you can walk around the prehistoric stones, you cannot enter the Stonehenge Circle or touch the monument. Keep an eye out for signs to respect the space.
Accessibility and comfort: Your train and coach transfers are wheelchair accessible, making the tour comfortable, easy, and stress-free for everyone.

What’s the best way to go about it?

Individual tickets

Who it’s for: Perfect for travellers who like exploring at their own pace and making the day their own.
Cost and convenience: While individual tickets are great for independence, they might not always be the most budget-friendly. Buying tickets separately gives flexibility, but costs can add up when you include transfers and entry fees.
When to book: Windsor Castle and Oxford are popular year-round, especially on weekends and holidays. Booking online and early (at least 2 weeks in advance) helps secure your preferred date and avoids long queues.
Your experience: The advantage of going solo is that you can curate your day entirely your way with complete flexibility. However, managing travel on your own can be tricky — if trains run late or queues are long, you might have to skip a few highlights to stay on schedule.

Smooth travel plan: Travel comfortably by AC coach while your guide shares stories about royal life at Windsor and the academic heritage of Oxford.
