Trip Overview:
Your journey across the south of England begins in London, the capital of the United Kingdom and one of the most popular cities on the planet.
Enjoy the perfect introduction to London while riding on the upper level of a double-decker bus. On your ride throughout the city, you’ll pass by famous landmarks such as Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and the Tower of London. You’ll also stop by Buckingham Palace, the official residence of His Majesty the King, and take a boat cruise along the Thames, spotting Shakespeare’s Globe, the London Bridge, and the Shard during the journey.
But there's more to London than tradition, pomp, and ceremony. Come in summer, and let the swinging 60s come to life on your Classic Rock and Beatles Sites tour. Follow a half-century of music history that shaped the world, from The Beatles to Queen to the 80s New Wave invasion to Adele. These neighborhoods still play a key role in Britain's music scene today. The rest of your day is at leisure (full day at leisure if you're coming in winter), as is the following day, giving you time to explore the London that most interests you.
From London, head west and travel back in time as you visit Stonehenge, the most famous prehistorical monument in the world. Dating back nearly 5,000 years, this fascinating stone monument has beguiled people for centuries. Perhaps you can unlock some of its secrets. After pondering the stones, head further back in time to the Jurassic Coast, Britain's treasure trove of prehistoric fossils, with stops at famous sites like Durdle Door.
Explore Dartmoor, Glastonbury, and key sites from Britain's long naval history on your way to the city of Bath. England's second most popular city with visitors, Bath will utterly charm you with its Georgian architecture and Roman ruins. Be sure to allow at least two hours after lunch if you want to explore the Roman Baths themselves. There's a lot to see!
Return to London in the early evening, where you’ll spend one last night before heading to the airport to continue your onward journey.
