Stonehenge

Believed to be over 5,000 years old, this ancient stone circle continues to fascinate visitors with its scale, precision, and unanswered questions. You'll have time to explore the site at your own pace with the official audio guide, walk around the stones, and take in the surrounding landscape of Salisbury Plain.

    This tour was amazing! Jenny Broom the tour operator answered every single question I had in a timely fashion, and I truly appreciated all the information she gave me. The bus driver was incredibly patient even though 11 people were late to come back to the bus. He remained composed and Calm ( I would’ve left them) as they showed no sense of responsibility and didn’t even rush up to the bus. My only suggestion would be to have this as a one stop tour as there was not a lot of time to get from the bus to the stones and then back to the bus. Thank you for an incredible experience

    Just be prepared and know that this is literally only transportation- no guide, no conversation, just the very long drive. Plan for at least two hours, even though the description says an hour and a half. You will only have 30 minutes at most to see the stones and that is if you catch the first shuttle to the stones. The entire organization at Stonehenge is chaos. This is not necessarily the travel company fault but there are thousands of people there and even though you have prepaid for a ticket, you still have to get in the queue, which is another 30 minutes. Salisbury cathedral is lovely but again only a very short time and then you’re back for another 2 Hour Dr. back to which you will be lucky to catch the last shuttle back to Fort. Stonehenge was on our bucket list, but I truly wish I would’ve done this in London instead of at this point I do not recommend.

    It would be very helpful if the tour company told us what company we were traveling with and how to find the right bus (color or a sign in the window). I talked to the company by phone and she told us to head left When we found the bus it was to the right and starting to leave. Once we found our bus, things improved and the tour was a nice experience .

    Except for the long drive it felt almost spiritual when we arrived to see the stones please note there is an additional 30 minutes drive to Salisbury and then the long drive back to the port to board our ship, all in all the transfers were very easy to follow Our guide was very friendly

  • It’s just a bus ride to 2 places.

    It was basically just a bus that takes you to Stonehenge and the church. It’s a nice, clean, air conditioned bus. There is no guide on the bus to fill the LONG drive with interesting facts about where you are visiting or pointing out landmarks as you travel. Also, I emailed ahead of time and asked if I should purchase tickets for the attractions prior to our visit and was told not to. They said we should just buy them when we get there. The lines were horrifically long to buy tickets so I am glad I went ahead and bought the tickets during the bus ride there. For the church you have to say a specific time for your ticket so I just asked the bus driver for an approximate time and it worked out. While at Stonehenge you will barely have enough time to wait in line for the shuttle, walk around the circle, take a few pictures, wait in another HUGE line for the shuttle back and barely make it to the bus in time. So don’t waste even a second wandering around. The church is stunning and there is food on site and just enough time to have a quick bite in the beautiful courtyard. I gave 4 stars bc for the amount paid I feel like there should be a guide on the bus and I also think there could have been at least another 20-30 minutes added to Stonehenge and we still would have made it back to the ship with no problem at all.
