Upon arrival in London, you'll be transferred from Heathrow Airport to your hotel. Check in, freshen up, and begin your adventure through 2,000 years of history and culture! Use your Thames Clippers River Roamer Pass, and also enjoy admission to Cutty Sark Tea Clipper & Royal Observatory. Treat yourself to dinner on the Thames!
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before beginning your day of sightseeing! Discover the City of London's hidden gems. Today, we recommend checking out the Barbican, Europe's largest arts center! Postman's Park and Guildhall Great Hall are other great options. Find a cute pub for dinner for a quintessentially British experience!
After breakfast, we suggest exploring the glass floors in the walkways of Tower Bridge. Afterward, climb the 257 steps to the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. Discover the beauty of these two world-class institutions!
After breakfast, pick up your rental car in Central London. Your driving journey begins! Take approximately 2 hours to drive to your hotel in Warwickshire. Check in and get settled. You're now within driving distance to some excellent cities and towns waiting to be explored!
Today, we recommend driving to pay a visit to Stratford-upon-Avon! Located on River Avon near Warwick Castle, there is plenty of exploring to do here. This medieval town is the birthplace of Shakespeare, so be sure to check out the exhibition at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust! Enjoy a meal at a restaurant along the river before you go!
After breakfast, we recommend a day trip to Oxford! With its vibrant arts and culture scene, you'll find plenty to do here. Pay a visit to the University of Oxford, discover the majesty of Christ Church, and leave with a better understanding of the place that inspired works including Alice in Wonderland, Lord of the Rings, and Chronicles of Narnia.
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast. Choose your own adventure today, whether it means exploring Warwickshire, or returning to a nearby town you've already visited! Try a new restaurant for lunch or enjoy Afternoon Tea at your hotel! Use today to continue carving your own path through England.
Today, you'll drive from Warwickshire to Cambridge! Home to 31 colleges, Cambridge offers plenty to do and see. Your drive will take approximately two hours. Check into your hotel, freshen up, and find a quaint pub for dinner!
After breakfast, discover the city that is home to more Nobel Prize winners than any other! Cambridge is a beautiful university town with stunning architecture and nature.
