Loved it! The staff was super kind and they also gave us snacks for the trip. Just be careful about the pickup destination that varies in the morning and in the afternoon!🥰

It's an ambitious tour because you visit three places in one day. That gives you the opportunity to see a lot in a short time, but the visits are very short and you're left wanting more. We also spend quite a bit of time on the bus, so you have to be mentally prepared for that. The destinations are wonderful, it's worth it!

# An unforgettable day trip with Chrissy & “Stan the Man”!
We joined the full-day Windsor Castle, Stonehenge & Roman Bath tour from London, and it was absolutely fantastic!
The meeting point is inside Victoria Coach Station — not outside on the corner as shown on the picture you receive beforehand — so make sure to go inside the building to check in.
Our wonderful tour guide was Chrissy, and our driver was the legendary “Stan the Man.” From start to finish, Chrissy made the whole experience truly special. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and has a wonderful storytelling voice. Throughout the journey, she shared tons of fun side facts, interesting history, and added just the right touch of humor that kept everyone engaged and entertained.
The tour was very well organized — all entrance fees were included, which made everything super convenient. We visited Windsor Castle first, then Stonehenge, and finally the Roman Baths. Do keep in mind that at each stop, you don’t have a huge amount of time to explore every detail in depth — but that’s completely understandable, as it’s a full-day tour covering several major highlights. We found the time at each location to be just right for getting a great overview.
A small tip: bring some snacks or lunch with you, since there isn’t much time for proper meal stops. You’re allowed to eat and drink on the bus (just no hot drinks or warm/strong-smelling food).
All in all, it was a wonderful and memorable experience. A huge thank you to Chrissy and Stan the Man for making the day so enjoyable! We would absolutely book another tour with Evan Evans again anytime.

What you’ll see and experience
1/7
Walk to the Stones
Follow the gently sloping path from the Visitor Centre towards the towering sarsen and bluestone circle, watching it grow steadily more impressive with each step until you reach the closest permitted viewing point just ten metres from the ancient monument.
Visitor exhibitions
Inside the Visitor Centre, browse over 250 archaeological finds recovered from Stonehenge over the decades, including excavated tools, pottery, jewellery, and even human remains, all helping piece together the monument’s mysterious purpose and the society that built it.
Audio commentary
Use the multilingual audio guide for detailed, easy-to-follow commentary about the stones’ construction, astronomical alignments, and the many scientific and mythical theories surrounding Stonehenge’s origins that continue to fascinate researchers today.
Neolithic houses
Step inside reconstructed Neolithic huts built using ancient building methods to understand how people lived locally over 4,500 years ago, from cooking techniques to communal sleeping arrangements and early attempts at home-based craftsmanship.
Self-guided pace
Without a tour group rushing you between stops, you set your own rhythm: take your time with photos, linger by interesting displays, and revisit areas that spark your curiosity the most.
Outdoor views
Expect wide, windswept Salisbury Plain landscapes stretching in every direction around the stones, offering dramatic skies and atmospheric photo opportunities whatever the season or time of day you visit.
Hands-on moments
Interact with tactile exhibits like replica stone-pulling equipment to appreciate the scale of physical effort involved in moving and placing the massive megaliths thousands of years ago using simple tools.
Plan your visit to Stonehenge
Opening hours: Stonehenge operates 9:30 am-7 pm April through September and 9:30 am-5 pm from October to March, following seasonal daylight availability.
Last admission: The final entry slot is exactly two hours before closing time, giving visitors sufficient opportunity to walk to the stones and enjoy the exhibits.
Closed dates: The monument remains closed to the public only on December 25 each year, reopening as usual on December 26.
Typical visit time: Most visitors spend between forty minutes and two and a half hours onsite depending on walking pace, interest level, and time spent in exhibits.
Spring sweet spot: May offers mild temperatures and lighter crowds than summer, making it ideal for peaceful wanders, clear visibility, and relaxed photography without constant foot traffic.
Solstice spectacle: Booking summer or winter solstice dates guarantees crowds but rewards you with a dramatic sunrise alignment moment that many regard as a once-in-a-lifetime memory.
Winter calm: Outside solstice dates, winter is typically quiet with moody skies and an atmospheric setting perfect for reflective strolls and stark photographic compositions.
Midweek visits: Tuesdays and Wednesdays generally see the fewest visitors, allowing more breathing space and unrushed viewing compared to weekends and busy Monday spill-over.
By train: Direct trains from London Waterloo reach Salisbury in around ninety minutes, with departures roughly every half hour through the day for easy planning. Salisbury station lies fourteen kilometres away; continue to the Stonehenge Visitor Centre by taxi or the Stonehenge Tour Bus taking thirty minutes.
By bus: The Stonehenge Tour Bus departs from Salisbury station to the Visitor Centre, while local routes X4 and 8 connect Amesbury and Larkhill nearby.
By car: Driving from London takes approximately two hours via the M3 and A303, with clearly marked signs pointing toward Amesbury and Stonehenge along the route.**** Ample parking is available at the Visitor Centre, followed by either a short walk or a free shuttle transfer directly to the main monument.
Café: The onsite café offers a selection of hot and cold food, snacks, and drinks, though all service is currently takeaway only.
Toilets: Male, female, accessible, baby-change, and adult-change toilet facilities are available at the Visitor Centre before you head towards the stones.
Parking: Visitor Centre parking is free for ticket-holders with pre-booked entries; non-ticketed visitors may need to pay a parking fee.
Picnic spots: Picnic in designated grass areas near the Visitor Centre or enjoy views of the Stone Circle while dining in the adjoining open field.
Gift shop: Browse souvenirs including books, miniature stone replicas, locally made crafts, jewellery, and seasonal products in the well-stocked Visitor Centre shop.

Audio guides: Collect handheld audio devices at the Visitor Centre or download the multilingual guide from the Apple Store or Google Play before boarding the shuttle to the stones.
Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible paths, shuttle transport, parking, and restrooms allow visitors with limited mobility to comfortably explore key viewing areas and facilities.

Photography rules: Personal photography is encouraged. Commercial or professional shoots require advance permission from the filming team.

Visitor tips
Download the audio guide at home to save mobile data and avoid queues at the Visitor Centre.
Arrive ten minutes before your time slot, as security checks and shuttle queues can sometimes delay access.
The walk from the visitor centre to the stones is 25 minutes; wear shoes suitable for uneven grassland paths.
Visit the Neolithic houses first if arriving in a busy slot before going to the Stone Circle.
Photography is best before 11 am or after 4 pm when sunlight hits the stones from an angle.
Bring your own headphones if using the app version of the audio guide for better sound quality.
Strong winds are common on the plain, so pack an extra layer even in summer.
If using the shuttle, sit on the right-hand side for first glimpses of the stones as you approach.
For the best selfie spot, stand slightly left of the main viewing area where fewer people gather.
