London to Salisbury by Rail
Salisbury Cathedral sits on an 80-acre walled Close and is situated around a 1 hour drive from London. The Cathedral is an early English example of Gothic architecture and was built over a 38 year period between 1220 and 1258. Here, you can view Britain’s tallest spire at 123 metres and the world’s oldest working mechanical clock, dating back to 1836.
1215 Magna CartaSalisbury Cathedral houses the finest surviving of the worlds remaining four versions of the great charter, more famously known as the 1215 Magna Carta. The Magna Carta is a UNESCO protected document and is permanently housed in the Cathedral’s 13th century stone carved Chapter House, which depicts sixty Old Testament scenes. The Magna Carta is a legal document that was issued by King John in June 1215, to outline certain rights of individuals. It has over 60 clauses, covering many areas of the nation’s life, including the right to a fair trial.

Recommended, as long as you know what to expect. The open Return Train Tickets To Salisbury sorted our day out. Only gripe: the group was a bit larger than we expected. Recommended overall.

Una de las mejores cosas que hicimos en Londres. Ojo con el calzado, conviene algo con buen agarre. Una experiencia que vale cada minuto.

Ideal para conocer la ciudad
Una de las mejores cosas que hicimos en Londres. Aprendimos más de la ciudad en unas horas que leyendo tres guías. El precio es honesto para lo que se recibe. Ojalá todos los tours fueran así.
Ryan I.
Really enjoyable, though there is room for improvement. We stayed on walking around Salisbury after dinner. We would have liked more variety in the main course. Still recommended.
Niklas R.
Worth far more than what it costs. It costs more than going alone, but it saves you all the planning. The language: English arrived exactly when we needed it. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Londres.

Mejor de lo que esperaba
Impecable, no le encuentro un pero. Si te gusta la fotografía, llevá batería de sobra. El guía respondió hasta las preguntas más raras con datos precisos. Carta Magna es de otro planeta.
