Popular 1 Day Coach Tours from London

Windsor Castle has been the family home of British monarchs for more than 900 years. It is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. A visit to the beautiful castle to see the State Apartments is not to be missed. If you’re lucky you might get to see the Changing the Guard ceremony. Another Windsor highlight is St. George’s Chapel, where many Royal Weddings have taken place. Windsor is only 25 miles (under an hour) from Central London.

Overseas tour groups often like to visit Windsor as an add-on after a half day of sightseeing in London. We’re happy to arrange your coach transportation.

The historic city of Oxford is known as the City of Dreaming Spires, and is home to Britain’s oldest and most prestigious university, which dates from the 11th century. Highlights include Oxford Castle, Hertford Bridge and The Radcliffe Camera (a building, not a camera!). The city also hosts The Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, Britain’s oldest public museum. Walking around the colleges (there are 45 in total) and charming back streets offers fantastic photo opportunities. If you have time, maybe go on a river cruise or try your hand at punting on the River Cherwell. Many scenes from the Harry Potter movies were shot in Oxford.

Oxford is 62 miles from London – about 90 minutes in one of our luxury Mercedes or Volvo coaches.
