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.
After our London pick-ups, we head west to Wiltshire.
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.
This is the approximate time of departure, but your tour guide will advise you of precise timings on the day as these may change.
We arrive at the medieval village of Avebury, which is ringed by the largest stone circle in the world and also includes 2 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.
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 2hrs to explore this mysterious & awe-inspiring monument at your own pace.
After around 2hrs in Stonehenge, we will meet back at the coach for our return journey to London.
There will be 2-3 drop-offs in central London subject to traffic & 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 & all itinerary times are approximate & subject to change.
