Itinerary

  • Avebury Stone Circle

    You will be collected from your preferred pick-up point in Bath and will be driven to the small village of Avebury in a private car. Avebury is home to the world's largest stone circle which dates back to approx. 2600BC. With your guide you will explore the remains of this ancient stone circle and your guide will explain about its history and the latest discoveries. At Avebury you are free to wander among the stones and touch them. Some people can sense great energy from the stones and today it is a popular place for New Age spiritualists. After visiting the long barrow we will continue to a historic English pub for lunch.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • West Kennet Long Barrow

    After exploring Avebury we will continue to the West Kennet Long Barrow which is one of the oldest pre-historic monuments in the country, built over 5,600 years ago! It is a communal tomb which once housed the remains of a number of individuals. Today it is one of the best examples of a pre-historic chambered tomb and should you wish visitors can go inside.

    45 minutes

  • Silbury Hill (Pass By)

    During the tour we will pass Silbury Hill - a man-made chalk hill. Built thousands of years ago its exact purpose remains a mystery. It is said that Stonehenge could fit on the top of it!

  • Stonehenge

    After lunch we will continue to Britain's most famous pre-historic monument: Stonehenge. Your guide will take you around the Visitor Centre and the ancient stone circle. Your guide will explain about its history, how archaeologists believe it was constructed and will tell you interesting stories behind the site. There will be plenty of opportunities for photos. After exploring Stonehenge you will be driven back to Bath.

The best tour guide in Bath!

Published on May, 2025

We set up a full day custom tour with Dan. He picked us up at the Bath train station and we proceeded to have a perfect day. Avebury, Salisbury Cathedral, and finally, an inside the stones tour at Stonehenge. If at all possible, do the special tour at Stonehenge - it’s positively awesome! Dan added a number of extra stops, including white horses and long barrows. Book a trip with him and relax, you’re in great hands. This is the best money you can spend - you will see things and learn things that would be very hard to do on your own. Watch out for tanks roaming the countryside, though!

A Trek Across Time

Published on Apr, 2025

Really pleased with this tour! I wanted the complete Neolithic picture and Daniel delivered. It wasn't enough to just check landmarks off a list. The opportunity to see West Kennet Long Barrow and Silbury Hill and Avebury in addition to Stonehenge really puts into perspective the level of craftsmanship and importance these structures have on the landscape of the country, and how they persist particularly on the landscapes of our mind: I've often had so many questions about these structures and the ancient peoples who created them, and I felt Daniel's commentary and knowledge helped form a framework for me to parse out answers (when they are to be had) amidst the prevailing theories and current research that exists. It's evident that there are many mysteries about stonehenge, but what isn't a mystery is the service that Bath Insider Tours provides. I never felt stupid when I realized I had wrong information, I felt it was okay to ask questions, I felt it was okay to be excited and enthused and overly intrigued and curious. I felt Daniel cared about what we were getting out of this tour rather than just going through a rote rehearsal or simply reciting things. He was kind to allow me to grab souvenirs when I could to remember my trip by, take pictures, and showed us little extra detour things that felt like we were on a journey within our trip. He really listened and tailored information towards our perspective while managing to enhance ours. I'm so glad we booked this tour. We are really grateful for the experience. Thank you for sharing with us.

Making Ancient Britain come alive

Published on Sep, 2024

I'm not one for writing reviews, but I've felt guilty because Daniel's tours were VERY good. Besides the Ancient Britain tour , he took us on a tour for gardens. I wanted to see the ancient ruins and my cousin wanted to see the different style gardens South of Bath. He knew the history of the sites and made the information come alive. Although he said he was not an expert on the gardens, the second days tours was excellent.

Avebury, Stonehenge and more

Published on Aug, 2024

Daniel is an excellent guide! Extremely knowledgeable, witty and a genuine gentleman. He deserves more than a five star rating!! He showed us everything we wanted to see from Avebury to Stonehenge and places in between. When we come back we will definitely look him up for another tour.

Excellent!

Published on Dec, 2023

We appreciated Daniel’s friendly and calm demeanor. He made us feel welcome right away and was sensitive to our needs throughout the day (walking pace, rain gear, bio breaks, etc). This tour is an excellent way to see several important sites efficiently without the stress of renting a car and navigating unfamiliar roads as a tourist. If we return to the region, we would take another tour with Daniel. Thank you.
