7 Day London, Bath & Stonehenge Explorer

7 Day London, Bath & Stonehenge Explorer
Pondering the past in England can make your head swim. The true tales from this great land’s storied history stretch back far beyond the days of Victoria, Shakespeare, and even King Arthur. London, the seat of a once-mighty empire, was founded not by a king but an emperor: Claudius of Rome. Traces of that heritage still linger two millennia distant, both here and in Bath, where ancient hot springs bathed the Romans. And yet even this isn’t the beginning; the 5,000-year-old riddle of Stonehenge continues to baffle expert and amateur alike. The echoes of the distant past whisper all across England. And if you listen carefully, you’ll be amazed by what you hear.

This trip begins, naturally, in cosmopolitan London with a comprehensive private walking tour of the kingdom’s capital, alighting at the Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, the Tower of London, the London Eye, and other world-famous landmarks. Later, peruse the British Museum’s 8 million treasures – including the wonders of its extensive Egyptian and Athenian galleries – on a privately guided tour. Next, head west to Bath, beloved for its Georgian architecture and the plethora of ancient Roman sites scattered among its rolling hills. First, get to know this strollable city on a private walking tour and wander the magnificent Royal Crescent, then travel back in time, first with a small group at the 5,000-year-old monoliths of Stonehenge, then to the fascinating 2,000-year-old Roman Baths complex, whose hot springs once soothed the soles of weary centurions. The past is always close at hand in England, and you don’t even need a time machine to visit it.
