    Stonehenge is one of the most important sites in the world, with UNESCO World Heritage status. Famous for its prehistoric megaliths, the area surrounding Stonehenge is also a hugely important archaeological site which attracts millions of visitors every year. A marvel of prehistoric engineering, creativity, and determination Stonehenge is a place like no other. Upon arrival at Stonehenge, your guide will show you the facilities at the monument, and give you time to use them should you wish (the drive from London is approximately 2 hours including a stop at Fleet Services). Your guide will queue for you, obtain your audio guides, and assist you in getting the shuttle bus from the Stonehenge visitor centre to the monument. You will then have time to explore the stones at your leisure using the excellent Stonehenge audio guide provided by English Heritage. Before leaving Stonehenge you will be able to purchase lunch, which you will be able to eat in the car as we drive to Highclere.

Flawless experience

Published on Aug, 2024

Richard was the best guide we could have asked for! Punctual, great communicator, friendly, flawless cab, knowledgeable, and fun! My sister and I had such a wonderful memorable day and Richard contributed to making it so special! I highly recommend, Richard won’t disappoint!

Best day out of the City

Published on Apr, 2024

My husband and I enjoyed this so much! We had great conversation on the drive, enjoyed the countryside while learning about the places we were visiting. I highly recommend this tour if you want to get out of the city without a lot of people with you. The cab was comfortable and roomy, having the driver, tour guide and us. We went places regular tourists probably don't know you can go.
