TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Windsor Castle & Stonehenge from London to Southampton Private Tour

This private tour starts in London or at Heathrow Airport and visits Windsor Castle and Stonehenge before ending with a transfer to the Southampton cruise terminal.

After meeting your guide, you depart for Windsor Castle, about 21 miles (34km) west of London and 7 miles (11km) from Heathrow. The castle has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years, and remains a working royal residence used for both private stays and State functions.

St George's Chapel sits within the Castle grounds and is the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter, the oldest order of chivalry in the world, dating to the 14th century. A typical visit includes the State Apartments, the Drawings Gallery, Queen Mary's Dolls House and St George's Chapel. Because Windsor Castle is a working royal palace, security arrangements and opening hours may change with little or no notice.

From the castle, you drive into the town of Windsor for a short lunch break (meal not included).

Next you visit Stonehenge, about 90 miles (145km) southwest of London and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This prehistoric monument dates back approximately 5,000 years and stands on a low mound in open countryside near Salisbury. Its exact purpose is still debated by archaeologists. As you walk the site, your guide explains what is known and unknown about its construction and history.

From Stonehenge, you drive to the Southampton cruise terminal to complete the tour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included at Windsor Castle?
A typical visit covers the State Apartments, the Drawings Gallery, Queen Mary's Dolls House and St George's Chapel. Because it is a working royal residence, specific rooms may be closed on short notice for official use.
How old is Stonehenge?

How far is Windsor from Heathrow Airport?
Windsor Castle is approximately 7 miles (11km) from Heathrow Airport, making this tour a convenient option for guests landing at LHR on embarkation day.
Can I bring a wheelchair on this tour?
No, this tour does not accommodate wheelchairs due to the terrain and walking involved at both Windsor Castle and Stonehenge.
Can I get a refund if I cancel my London to Southampton tour?
As long as you cancel your London to Southampton tour 15 days or more in advance, you get a refund minus $50. Inside 14 days of the tour date, cancellations become non-refundable. One exception: if your ship simply doesn't call at London to Southampton because of weather, mechanical issues, or political unrest, you'll get a full refund less the $50 fee. All cancellation requests need to be submitted in writing by email.
How do I find my driver when I arrive in London to Southampton?
Cruise Ship: When you get off the ship in London to Southampton, look for the terminal's main public exit. If a terminal building is present, go through arrivals to the outdoor pickup area -- cruise staff will help direct you. If not, your driver will be waiting right on the dock. Can't find your contact? Stay near where you exited and call the local dispatch number on your confirmation. Hotel: Look for your driver or guide right outside the main entrance or in the lobby -- they'll be holding a sign with your group name. Airport: Once you've collected your luggage and cleared customs, head into the arrivals hall -- your driver or guide will be there holding a sign with your group name.
Do I need to pay separately for admission tickets on my London to Southampton tour?
You'll find entrance fees bundled in for London to Southampton tours where the tour page states it. Keep in mind some venues require timed, skip-the-line tickets that become non-refundable the moment they're purchased. We'll flag any non-refundable entrance fees for you at booking.
Can we add a stop to our London to Southampton tour that isn't on the standard itinerary?
That's the advantage of going private in London to Southampton -- the day can adjust to you. Mention any must-see sight to your driver or guide at pickup, and they'll do their best to work it in. Traffic and time constraints can occasionally limit how much we can change, but your guide will always try to keep things personal.

5 of 5 Review Location- London to Southampton June 7, 2026
Reviewer: Dannelle M from Mission Viejo, California  
Again, Private Shore Trips did not disappoint. Been using them since 2009. Steven is so great to work with - and his team of tour guides all over Europe have been amazing. This time we used them in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast. David in London, Ricky in Edinburgh, Ricky and Graeme in Glasgow and Paul in Belfast. All were personable, friendly, very knowledgeable, and flexible.

Reviewer: Jeremy K from Marion, IA  
Thanks for asking. They were good. The first driver was really nice and helpful and a good guy. The other driver was fine but not as nice. He was fine though and both were on time and the vehicles were comfortable as well. Very happy we chose you as both worked out great.

We did enjoy ourselves and I would highly recommend your tour company to anyone. The driver was really nice and very efficient getting us to all of the places that we wanted to see in the short time that we were in London. The guide was quite knowledgeable and friendly.

Reviewer: Ed J from Ed J. Ventura CA  
Just returned from London yesterday. Just wanted to let you know that all went well and the guides were outstanding. Had a fabulous time and looking forward to working with you again. The guides were very professional and on time. One was 30 minutes late, but we forgave him... He turned out to be a very good guide. I think it was in Belfast. Leaving for Honolulu for the month of August Wed, so have a lot to do before that date. Thanks again.

Reviewer: Riley D from Boston  
So we started at Westminster Abbey, took in the views of Big Ben and Parliament, and then headed to the Tower of London. The history is incredible! My mother could not walk anymore so Emma recommended the cutest cafe where she stayed while we finished the tour. Emma was jsut an outstanding guidefriendly, knowledgeable, and fun!
