Itinerary

Woodstock

40 min

When visiting Woodstock, customers can expect a relaxed and charming introduction to a classic English market town. Customers will experience a brief guided tour of Woodstock, followed by free time to explore independently, allowing guests to browse local shops, antiques, and art galleries, or enjoy a coffee or light refreshment in one of the town’s traditional cafés or pubs.

This stop offers an authentic small-town experience and a gentle cultural warm-up before heading to the grandeur of Blenheim Palace.
Blenheim Palace

2 h 45 min Admission not included

Customers will experience Blenheim Palace in two complementary ways: first, they will enjoy a guided external tour of Blenheim Palace lasting approximately one hour, during which the guide explains the palace’s history, architecture, and setting from the outside; then, after the guided portion ends, customers enter the palace independently to explore the interior at their own pace, giving guests a well-rounded introduction to both the exterior grandeur and interior highlights of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The itinerary also allows time to visit the Blenheim Palace gift shop before entry.
