The City of Bath is about 115 miles (185km) from central London, a good two and a half hours non-stop from London in a tour bus.
Bath is not particularly dominated by any one attraction though the Roman Baths are the single most popular attraction.
There are many facets to Bath including Georgian Bath - from a time not so long ago if you were anyone of note you spent a week or three in Bath each year.
There is so much to Bath that you could stay a few days in Bath and still not have covered everything.
And that is perhaps the only problem on a day tour from London - time. It is very common to hear people boarding the tour bus to leave Bath saying that they must return to Bath one day and spend more time.
The Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath itinerary is the most popular itinerary for a day tour from London that visits Windsor Castle.
There are several tours every day of the year including Christmas Day when no attraction is open!
Although the basic itinerary of 2 hours at Windsor, just under 2 hours at Stonehenge and 75-90 minutes at Bath is fairly constant there are tweaks to this format between the tours available.
All but the International Friends small group tours have the visit to Stonehenge after Windsor Castle, arriving around lunch time or late afternoon depending on season.
The Small Group Windsor, Stonehenge & Bath tour has Stonehenge as the first stop and is normally the first tour bus to arrive at Stonehenge from London each morning. Windsor being the last stop of the day.
The standard full size bus tours typically use around a 50-seat touring coach to operate their tours. It's a long day whatever Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath tour you travel on and there is little time to linger.
The very popular Windsor, Bath & Stonehenge with lunch tour makes an additional lunch stop at Lacock, at the expense of less time in Bath.
This routing offers some very nice English countryside and time in a very nice village off the beaten tourist track with lunch in a 14th century historic village pub.
