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.
