10/10 would recommend
Very good experience! I really enjoyed Windsor Castle. Stonehenge was alright, but I would definitely recommend pairing it with something else. David and Luan were great guides as well. At Windsor Castle, I would also recommend walking down Park St to the Long Walk to get a different view of the castle.

England swings.
It was good. Ours (due to us being only ones signed to just Windsor and Stonehenge) had Oxford added to the itinerary. That made for a long day, but, in hindsight worth it. Good trip. Bill
