Heathrow Layover Tour: Meet & greet in Arrivals at Heathrow, or London Paddington Station – Graham will explain the two options and prices when you enquire.

Layovers should be 8-hours+ from landing to departure to safely fit in a tour x 3-hours. POA.
Stonehenge: Is a prehistoric wonder 5000 years old. Yet there are so many layers of history here and new discoveries still being made. I first visited when I was eleven. I’m still fascinated, and I’m still learning. I’ll help you separate the myths from the real stories. By the time we leave, you’ll know your neolithic from your megalithic and a disc barrow from a druid priest! The entire ‘ritual’ site is vast, predating even the famous stone circle. The stones are definitely the centrepiece, but there is also a superb Visitor Centre exhibiting discoveries and treasures from this mysterious monument. This tour is Stonehenge alone, without Salisbury Cathedral and therefore a shorter day. Price: 7.5-hours = £460 + tickets for Stonehenge (Stonehenge + Magna Carta Tour).
Hampton Court Palace: Was built by King Henry VIII 500 years ago and is a superb example of Tudor extravagance and royal wealth. It almost doubled in size in the late 1600s for King William and Queen Mary, creating a royal Stuart residence of baroque opulence and grandeur. This palace overflows with royal history, intrigue..and a ghost; there are so many tales here for me to tell. The Palace was renovated again for the Georgian kings and was home to three royal dynasties. Magnificently designed, it’s big and it’s spectacular and jam-packed with art and treasures for us to see. This tour is Hampton Court Palace alone, without the Royal London tour and therefore a shorter day. Price: 5-hours = £310 + tickets for Hampton Court Palace (Hampton Court Palace + Royal London Tour).
Winchester + Jane Austen’s House: I guide us through Winchester Cathedral where amongst its superb Gothic architecture and English history, stretching back over 1000-years, we’ll also see Jane Austen’s grave and memorial. The house where Jane Austen died in Winchester is a part of my walk through the city too. This tour includes the Chawton cottage where Jane Austen lived and wrote for the last ten years of her life. The museum in Jane Austen’s House in Chawton is open June – September and on selected days October – May. Price: 10-hours = £660 + tickets for Winchester Cathedral and Jane Austen’s House (Winchester Day Trip).
Stratford-upon-Avon + Kenilworth Castle: Stratford is all about William Shakespeare. His birthplace, home base and burial space are all on my walking tour. This small, pleasant ancient market town is full of Shakespeare related sights encompassing his entire life and family. We’ll stroll through the old town discovering the Shakespeare presence as we explore. Kenilworth Castle is a superb ruin dating back to the 12th century. The castle expanded into a royal palace until its destruction in the 1600s. From then it was reduced to a farm before becoming an inspiration to the 19th century romantics. Kenilworth is what a castle is meant to look like. Price: 10-hours = £660 + tickets for Kenilworth (Oxford & Stratford-Upon-Avon Tour).
Overnight/2-Day Trips: Combine two of the following tours for an overnight/2-day trip: Stonehenge + Magna Carta | Oxford | Winchester | Mystical England | Stratford-upon-Avon | Kenilworth Castle | Bath + Lacock Village | Cotswolds. Start and end in London from your hotel/accommodation (Mon – Fri). Graham will recommend hotel location, which depends on the tour combination selected. Hotel accommodation not included in tour price. POA.
