TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Stonehenge & Windsor Castle from Southampton to London Private Tour

This private tour starts in London or at Heathrow Airport and includes interior visits to Windsor Castle and Stonehenge before dropping you at the cruise pier in Southampton. After meeting your guide, you depart for Windsor Castle, about 23 miles (37km) from central London. Windsor is the world's oldest and largest occupied castle, and has been a residence of British monarchs for almost 1,000 years since William the Conqueror founded it in the 11th century. King Charles III spends much of his private time at Windsor and also uses the castle for ceremonial 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. Founded in 1348, the Order today consists of the King, the Prince of Wales, and 24 Knight Companions. A typical visit to Windsor Castle includes the State Apartments, the Drawings Gallery, Queen Mary's Dolls' House, and St George's Chapel. Because Windsor remains a working royal residence, opening arrangements can change with little or no notice.

After the castle visit you have a short break in the town of Windsor for lunch (meal not included). From there you drive to Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's most studied prehistoric monuments, with construction beginning roughly 5,000 years ago. The stone circle stands on a plain in the countryside near Salisbury; walking among the stones gives a clear sense of their scale and the mystery that still surrounds their original purpose.

From Stonehenge, your driver continues to the pier in Southampton for your ship's departure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will we definitely get inside Windsor Castle, or could it be closed?
Interior visits are included, but Windsor Castle is a working royal residence, so specific areas can occasionally close on short notice for official functions.
How much walking is involved at Stonehenge?
How much walking is involved at Stonehenge?
Can this tour accommodate a wheelchair?
No, this particular itinerary does not accommodate wheelchairs.
Is lunch included?
No, a break is built into the schedule in the town of Windsor, but the meal itself is not included.
How long does the whole day take?
The tour runs 8 to 8.5 hours from pickup to drop-off in Southampton, covering Windsor Castle, lunch, Stonehenge, and the drive onward.
Can I get a refund if I cancel my Southampton tour?
A Southampton cancellation made 15+ days before the tour date is refundable, less a $50 fee. Inside 14 days of the tour date, cancellations become non-refundable. One exception: if your ship simply doesn't call at 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 Southampton?
Cruise Ship: Your first step off the ship at Southampton is to find the terminal's main public exit. Terminal building present? Walk through arrivals to the public pickup zone outside, with cruise staff able to point the way. No terminal building? Your driver's already waiting dockside. If you don't spot your contact right away, hold your position near the exit and call the dispatch number in 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 Southampton tour?
For Southampton tours, entrance fees are included exactly where the tour page lists them. 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 Southampton tour that isn't on the standard itinerary?
Private touring in Southampton comes with real room to adjust the plan. 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.

Our trip was wonderful! Our pick up at the airport, two tours, and transportation to the pier all went well. I would definitely use your company again for future travel needs.

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.

5 of 5 Review Location- Southampton Wednesday, June 3, 2026
Reviewer: Joanne S from Portland, OR  
Sorry for the delay in replying.. I was not getting emails However, as you can tell by my replying, Im back successfully  --- I did hear from the local operators early on that morning and the return transfer to Heathrow worked like a charm.   In fact, we got on the road at 630 am exactly and were at Heathrow by 820 --- plenty of time for everyone to check in comfortably.     I think the only issue was the Hotel to Port transfer.    THANKFULLY, I requested to have the transfer pick up time a little earlier.  As it happened, traffic (as always for London) factored in and they were more than half an hour late.. For that group movement,  I think they may have misunderstood how the passenger counts were supposed to be ---- they thought the 8-pax mini van was solely for luggage.  It was uncomfortable with them squeezing bags in the 30-pax coach and the leftover in the other vehicle.  As it happened, we sent one person in that car with the driver and every seat  including the jump seat usually reserved for a tour guide  was filled on the coach.    Traffic was still an issue and it ended up being over 90 minutes before we even reached the highway --- London is so big and the roads are all city driving until you can access the main system out of the city.  Was nerve-wracking --- but, silver lining --- the huge global snafu with the system effected countless people, including those (not related to us!) arriving for the cruise and who still had to travel from the airports..  this chain reaction allowed for the cruise line to delay sailing in order to wait for the late-comers.  Our group arrived around 330 which was remarkable, seeing how much time we consumed just in getting there.     That was the only hiccup. Our guided sightseeing tour of London was wonderful --- Konrad, our Blue Badge Guide --- absolutely fantastic  did a great job for us --- everyone who participated in the tour loved it and commented very favorably.    Despite iffy weather reports, we dodged rain the entire trip except for brief sprinkles  not bad for England, Scotland , Iceland and especially Ireland.   I want to mention that I appreciated the contact between the local operators and me. I received text and phone messages as needed, which is a huge relief  instead of waiting around and not sure who youre looking for ---- this eased my nerves and enabled me to communicate more comfortably with my group members. Thank you so very much for helping with the arrangements.      Except for the little snafu with the first transfer  which was resolved  all else went like clockwork.

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.

Reviewer: Denise A and William P from Roslyn, WA  
We want to thank you for the great job you did on planning and organizing our trip to Europe. The eight of us had a great time as well as being pleasantly surprised at how well the trip was organized, how gracious our drivers and guides were how pertinent your suggestions were. We will be having friends go in the spring and will be referring them to you.
