It’s a day of magic, imagination, and inspiration.
Many have gazed upon Stonehenge and wondered how the enormous standing stones ended up like that. Some believe the wizard Merlin worked his magic to create them. Others imagine aliens are involved. While some agree it was the Romans. Standing stones constantly inspire the imagination and on this tour you get to see not just one, but two of these amazing constructs.
And it doesn’t stop with these monuments. Many know the Cotswolds as a place of quintessential beauty and it’s time for you to see for yourself. From movie set locations to fascinating history, you’ll love exploring this beautiful region.

5.00Excellent excursion, from the host to the comfortable transportation to the sights and stops. Our host, Esther, was awesome. Very knowledgeable, entertaining, and shared the right amount of stories with a local flair. After Stonehenge we stopped at 3 different beautiful, quaint, English villages and each stop was long enough for a pint! Cheers! Highly recommend!
Perfect itinerary & great guide

5.00This was my first time travelling with Rabbie's and I will definitely book again! Had a fantastic day out and learned so much. The guide, Matt, was a very safe driver and an excellent storyteller. He shared many facts about the places, about their history, about English sayings, etc. He was also passionate about pointing out the animals on the thatched roofs, which made the drives even more entertaining. The itinerary was well designed (no easy feat with winter-sunset at 4pm!) and I am incredibly grateful that Rabbie's ran the tour, even though I was the only one who had signed up on that day.
Excellent
