Program details
Visit the historic Stonehenge, which is a “must see” for anyone visiting the UK, as well as Avebury, which is ringed by the largest stone circle in the world and West Kennet Long Barrow in Wiltshire. This tour includes a walking tour of Avebury, entrance to Stonehenge, luxury return coach travel and the services of a tour manager.
We offer a range of pick-up points located in central & west London, all of which are easy to reach by public transport. You can choose to meet us at whichever pick-up point is most convenient for you.
Firstly, we will arrive at West Kennet Long Barrow. Here we will walk up the hillside to one of the largest Neolithic burial tombs in Britain that is over 5000 years old. Your tour guide will take you into the burial chambers and bring its fascinating history to life. From here you can also see Silbury Hill, the largest prehistoric, man-made mound in Europe that is a similar size to some Egyptian pyramids and whose purpose is still largely unknown.
We then make our way to the medieval village of Avebury, which is ringed by the largest stone circle in the world and also includes two other stone circles inside the larger one. We’ll have a short walking tour, then you’ll have free time to explore the village – we recommend lunch at the infamous, haunted Red Lion Pub (lunch is not included in the cost of the tour). The time of departure from Avebury will vary slightly depending on the time of year.
Our next stop will be Stonehenge. The Stonehenge entry time varies slightly depending on the time of year. Audio guides are included with your entrance, subject to availability by Stonehenge. You will have around 2 hours to explore this mysterious and awe-inspiring monument at your own pace, then we will meet back at the coach for our return journey to London.
When we arrive back in London there will be 2-3 drop-offs in central London subject to traffic and other considerations on the day. Our tour guide will advise the specific drop-off locations and will be happy to help with public transport advice if needed. Please note that there can be some traffic travelling back into central London.
