Stonehenge morning tour from London with entry, transport, shuttle, audio guide, and an early arrival that beats the crowds.

“Wonderful adventure! Ola was great, he had so many intriguing stories to share and you could tell he really cared about giving us a good experience. We had an 8 year old with us and she kept up just fine. Awesome to see the changing of the guard and having someone know the best place to see it from. Loved it from beginning to end!”

Rise over York at sunrise in a small-group hot-air balloon, with countryside views, a champagne toast, transport, and a flight certificate.

Compare Stonehenge summer solstice sunset and sunrise tours from London, with Avebury, dinner, transport, timing tips, and honest value advice.
“Terrible trip, poorly organized, I am telling you to refund me. The coach got lost, we were late, we had to provide directions to Avebury, the toilet broke and stunk up the entire downstairs for hours making us feel sick, Steve the ‘guide’ got so many basic historical facts wrong, he constantly talked and repeated himself, his joke about the pigs was unacceptable as there were veggies and vegans on board, he made us late for arriving at Stonehenge and if it wasn’t for Tyronne’s smart driving, we would have missed it all together. I want my money back in full please”
