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.

Very competent and informative coch. But unfortunately everything was only in English and very quickly so that I could only understand a little.

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.

The site is well maintained and organized to allow many people without feeling overly crowded. The Audio tour provided with our tour was wonderful. We enjoyed a little picnic on the grounds after. The title of half- day trip was misleading. It was a full day with traffic. 2.5 hours to get there. 2 hours there (perfect amount of time). 2.75 hours to get back. We had dinner plans for the evening that we had to cancel. Maybe a warning for busy traffic times of the year would be good.

I expected at least the main information to be given on the bus in Italian or understandable English (schedules, modes, even the printed guidebook was not in Italian).

No enough time at site. Thought we were going to have until 130. Told be back at bus by 1250. No time before leaving to get something to eat. Felt rushed. Driver drove through two red lights on way there.

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.

The sights were spectacular. I bought my ticket from the app, which did not make it clear that I had to buy another ticket to tour the Roman Baths, so all I did was walk around and admire the architecture of that pretty little city. More time needs to be given to the visit at Windsor Castle because I only had time to see two things: the chapel and Queen Mary's apartment.

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?

1. A time-smart way to see Stonehenge

If your schedule is tight but you don’t want to miss one of Britain’s most iconic sites, a half-day tour from London makes perfect sense. No need to carve out an entire day or juggle train connections, this option gets you there and back efficiently.

2. Comfortable transport, no stress

This tour includes round-trip transportation in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach departing from central London. It’s a direct route to Stonehenge with none of the planning headaches.

3. Everything you need is included

Your admission to Stonehenge and its visitor center is covered, and you’ll get access to a multilingual audio guide that brings the site to life.
