What To Expect

Stonehenge

We'll start the day with a relaxed drive through the quintessential English countryside. As the huge stone circle appears on the horizon, your guide will reveal fascinating stories about it's construction and theories around it's meaning. Was it an astronomical calendar, a burial ground, a place of healing or worship? Marvel at the shear size of the Sarcen stones, some weighing over 30 tonnes and the precision with which they are arranged.

Good tour but poor communication.

Tour guide was On time, knowledgeable and had great personality. Communication between Viator, company and myself could have been better. I had no communication after March booking (cruise November) as to where to meet. I sent an email the day before to confirm and had no response. Finally called early morning of and it was a good thing as pick up was at ship and not a shuttle stop away as was told by Viator. That could have been disastrous.

Dismal Special Tuors Service, not what you're promised, a world of people, a lot of wasted time, dismal hotels.

We had an outstanding time. Nathan and Erica made a great team. So knowledgeable and fun to spend most of a day with. We went to the Salisbury Cathedral and Stonehenge. Nathan very adeptly navigated the roads during a very high traffic period. Erica was incredibly friendly and was able to give a detailed history of the sites in a way we understood easily. Would absolutely use them again!

we were picked up at the Portland castle as private operators are not allowed into the cruise terminal. The drive to Stonehenge was about two hours, but well worth it. The trip also included a visit to the Salisbury cathedral. The whole trip took about eight hours and just made it back in time. On hindsight should’ve left a little earlier.
