Review of a Stonehenge Inner Circle tour from London with Lacock, Bath, Roman Baths, coach transport, timing, value, and practical tips.
“The bus ride from the city to the countryside was beautiful. Our guide, Ava, was funny, friendly, and overall fantastic. I would highly recommend the private tour where you can walk inside the Stones structure, versus the general day tour. We went at/near sunset, after the crowds were gone. It allows you to really see the detail of the stones, including the joints/fittings that lock them together. You also get a better history of the area, including what has been found at each burial site, during this private tour.”

“Stewart was a great driver and tour guide. Traveling with my husband and daughter, although they had been here before, it was my first visit to London. The two hour tour was perfect to hit the high points on a slightly rainy day. Looking forward to coming back. And I would definitely recommend Stewart. BTW.. needed transportation the next day for a group of 20, although Stewart couldn’t accommodate us, he gave us a great referral that worked perfectly for our group.”
