Description

Explore Stonehenge and Windsor Castle on a private day trip from London. Travel in a Mercedes vehicle with a chauffeur and discover the history and mystery of these iconic sites.
Begin your journey in London and travel in comfort in a Mercedes fleet vehicle. Head to Stonehenge, a globally renowned English cultural icon and UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986.

Explore the awe-inspiring circular arrangement of massive standing stones, composed of ‘sarsens’ and ‘bluestones,’ along with ‘station stones’ and a surrounding circular ditch and bank, still visible today. Learn about how ancient people transported and positioned these colossal stones, some weighing as much as four African elephants.

Next, visit Windsor Castle, a royal residence in Windsor, Berkshire, England, and one of the principal homes of the British monarch. Noted for its architectural grandeur and continuous occupation since the 11th century, it remains both a working royal palace and a symbol of the British monarchy’s longevity.

Built shortly after the Norman Conquest, Windsor Castle began as a motte-and-bailey fortress to secure western approaches to London. Over centuries, successive monarchs expanded and modernized it, transforming a military stronghold into a stately palace. Major reconstructions occurred under Henry II, Edward III, and Charles II.

Windsor Castle serves as both a private residence and an official venue for state occasions. It hosted numerous royal weddings and houses the tombs of several monarchs, including Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. The castle was extensively restored after a major fire in 1992.
