Everything about our trip to Windsor/Stonehenge/Oxford was amazing! Our guide Phil and our driver Amajit were very helpful. Phil is an outstanding guide and very informative about our journey and destinations. We had a great time and we will definitely use the agency more in the future!

Comfortable bus. Driver Patrick and guide Chrissie friendly and Chrissie knew a lot about all the sights. Everything was well organized. Despite not being able to go to Oxford due to a blowout on the highway. Fortunately Patrick was able to stop the bus on an emergency lane. Waiting for new transportation took time and it was too late to go to Oxford. Even so, we were still on the road for 11 hours. We were to receive a refund from the bus company. This was also arranged the same day. Too bad v Oxford, can happen and handled well and quickly.

Fantastic half day experience. Our trip to see Stonehenge was amazing- we had wanted to see the stones for a long time and we were not disappointed. The coach was comfortable and our driver was kind and knowledgeable. We were given a little food package (cheese & pickle roll, flapjack, packet of crisps and a bottle of water) as we boarded the coach which we hadn't been expecting but was very welcome. We had a good amount of time at Stonehenge and were back in London mid afternoon in time to explore Covent Garden. Definitely recommended.

Beautiful experience, magical and surreal. We arrived by bus traveled one km and arrived at the stones. We downloaded the audio guide and listened to the explanations took photos, time to take the shuttle back buy souvenirs and return to the bus. The driver very nice. We were given a sort of packed lunch which was very welcome.

The beautiful cathedrals of Salisbury were eerily haunting: the Gothic architecture had me gasping and gawking from time to time

The Stonehenge was eye opening, I never wanted to leave and the Salisbury had me gawking the entire way: this combo is great!

Top things to do in London

Most people visiting Stonehenge from London make it a full-day trip, often combining it with Bath or Salisbury. But if you’re short on time or just want to focus on the stones themselves then a half-day tour is a smart choice. It’s surprisingly doable and gives you enough time to see the monument without turning it into a marathon. Here’s what to expect from a half-day outing to Stonehenge, and why it might be the right fit for your trip.

Why choose a half-day tour to Stonehenge?
