Kamal was a great driver. He was on time, pointed out some sites along the way and even stopped so we could get a few photos and rearranged the order of our trip so we wouldn’t be rushed. Allowed us time to stop for a nice lunch along the way. It was a great day for our family.
Windsor Castle
Steeped in history, Windsor Castle perches proudly on a lush wooded hill overlooking the Thames. Dating back to Norman times, with sweeping landscaped gardens and turreted Round Tower, it's easy to see why it's the Queen's favorite weekend residence royal Windsor. You will have opportunity to explore the outside of the Castle, walk in the great park, explore market stalls and shops in Windsor. This tour passes through Eton, home of one of England's famous public schools; President John F Kennedy Memorial site, Windsor Great Park and Runnymede, where King John sealed the Magna carta (The Magna Carta, also known as the Great Charter to the Liberties of England, is a document originally issued in Latin in the year 1215. In a way, it was the world's very first written Constitution. It would eventually inspire the Founding Fathers to draft a new document, the United States Constitution.)
Mysterious Stonehenge
The true meaning of this ancient, awe-inspiring creation has been lost in the midst of time. Was Stonehenge a temple for sun worship, a healing center, a burial site or perhaps a huge calendar? Surrounded by mystery, Stonehenge never fails to impress. As an iconic symbol of Britain and an Avebury World Heritage site, a walk around the Stone Circle is the centerpiece of any visit to Stonehenge. With a history spanning 4,500 years Stonehenge is a wonder of the world, a spiritual place and a source of inspiration. The Stone Circle is a masterpiece of engineering. Wander around the Neolithic houses outside the visitor center. Watch demonstrations of ancient domestic skills - flint knapping, making rope out of rushes, and much more. Watch the seasons pass and take a trip through time with incredible audio-visual 360 degree view from inside the stones, in the visitor center. Imagine what it feels like to stand in the middle of Stonehenge at winter and summer solstice.
Fifteen centuries of English history lie behind the massive Cathedral you see today. It stands at the heart of historic Winchester, once the seat of Anglo-Saxon and Norman royal power, on the site of an early Christian church. It’s been a place of worship ever since.
When you visit, you’ll discover one of the finest medieval cathedrals in Europe, with a captivating history and magnificent architecture.
