Discover the mysteries that surround the slaughter stone and see the numerous earth barrows where the beaker people lie buried before heading through the Salisbury plains towards Bath.

Bath, a world heritage site, is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces, and architecture.

Stratford-Upon-Avon
Stratford-Upon-Avon is the birthplace of William Shakespeare, the greatest writer in the English language and home to the Royal Shakespeare Company. It is a charming market town set in the heart of rural England. A delightful river winds its way through the town, past the beautiful Holy Trinity church, where Shakespeare lies buried.
Shakespeare's Schoolroom was built in the 15th century, and young William was taught in this very room in the 1570s. We have included a private and exclusive tour just for Premium Tours clients, and we will include a school lesson, too! Fun stuff.
