The tour was great fun! Kirsten, our guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. Our day was well-organized, and everything ran smoothly.

Our guide Mikhael was knowledgeable and funny. We had a blast seeing Avebury and Stonehenge. Unfortunately the long barrows were flooded (and had been for months) so please inquire directly with the tour operator if that’s high up on your list. Otherwise it was a great time and the bus was comfortable,

Brendan was an excellent guide and a superb driver. We left right on time. He pointed out lots of good stuff along the way. I really enjoyed his guided tour of Avebury: just enough nerdy history to show he loved the topic. We felt well cared for during the whole trip. I would definitely ride with him again!

Jessica C

Loved it! Felt like walking in the steps of history. Brendan was an excellent guide. Just nerdy enough that you felt like you got a history lesson from someone who loved the topic. Plenty of dad jokes along the way. Super safe driver.

Michel was a great guide! He was clear about expectations, gave lots of interesting historical context for the towns we went through on the way which I appreciated and also provided a mystical experience at one of the sacred sites! I won’t give it away for future travelers :). I would highly recommend him as a guide, and a great driver as well. Will say the buses are cramped for tall people. Very happy with our experience!

My husband and I enjoyed this tour immensely. Our guide, Michel, was knowledgable and entertaining! At each site, we had plenty of time to explore on our own. The sites were truly awe inspiring, magical! We chose to have lunch at the Red Lion in Avebury and the food was excellent. We highly recommend this experience!

John_P

The Stonehenge tour was amazing. Our guide Michel was prompt and an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable, patient, and down to earth. The sites themselves were truly magical. I definitely recommend this tour. A+.
