(8 Days — Departs Daily on a Private Basis) London, Windsor, Stonehenge, Oxford, Hampshire
This is the ultimate family tour of England, packed with activities suitable for travelers of all ages.
Begin in London, with touring that is very flexible according to your family’s interests. Explore the city with your own Blue Badge guide and driver. Tour the Tower of London and see the Crown Jewels. Also see awe-inspiring Westminster Abbey. Perhaps visit major museums like the Museum of Natural History or Imperial War Museum. Explore the seven food halls of Harrods. Take a ride on the London Eye and enjoy a view similar to what Harry Potter enjoyed when he flew over London. If desired, visit other Harry Potter sites, such as King’s Cross and the London Zoo. Visit Buckingham Palace to see the Changing of the Guard. Browse Hamleys, one of the best toy stores in the world. Ride in a double-decker bus. One afternoon, enjoy traditional Afternoon Tea at your hotel. One evening, attend a theater performance in the West End.
One day, take a private excursion to Oxford, recognizable as the film setting for several of the scenes from Harry Potter’s Hogwarts School. Alternatively, visit Greenwich and tour the Old Royal Observatory and explore the charming town.
During another private excursion, visit Windsor Castle, one of the official homes of Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family. From there, opt to visit ancient Stonehenge or spend the afternoon at marvelous Legoland Windsor.
The tour concludes with a luxurious few nights at a resort hotel in Hampshire, surrounded by the British countryside. Perhaps go horseback riding, fish in the estate's historic ponds, or take a lazy cruise down a canal, stopping for a picnic under willow trees growing along the banks. Younger children can enjoy Reeds Cottage, a playhouse filled with games and toys, fly kites, play croquet or go on treasure hunts.
