Stonehenge tours from London

This private tour leaving from Southampton port/hotel or London offers the ultimate 'English Experience': Stonehenge, Bath, Cotswolds (book your own accommodation in your choice of Cotswolds village or town) and Oxford on day two. You can listen to stories understand the history of the places you will be visiting from your own private driver/guide.

All the tours further up the page enter Stonehenge during public opening hours of Stonehenge. On these visits you have to stand behind a low rope several yards from the stones themselves. Outside of public opening hours there are very limited sessions where you can actually walk among the stones. These sessions are very early morning or evening so on a tour it is either a very early start from London or a late return in the evening.

Summer Solstice is the most important day of the year at Stonehenge. The summer solstice is one of only a few days per year when Stonehenge becomes open access (namely the solstices and equinoxes) where you can walk among the stones. If you are wanting to visit Stonehenge from London an easy and enjoyable way to do it is by booking on one of these popular tours. The coach trips take the hassle out of making your own way to Salisbury Plains, leaving you to relax and enjoy an unforgettable experience.

We offer a choice between two very special tours, one that takes you very early to the stones from London to see the sunrise, the other that makes a day of it the day before, visiting Avebury and Lacock, before experiencing the solstice celebrations at dusk.

Sunset Tour (20 June) - 13 hrs

Tour departs London at 12 noon and heads west towards the site, taking the time to enjoy the ancient stones at Avebury, before heading to picturesque Lacock for an early evening supper, included in the price. From here we journey to Stonehenge itself arriving at roughly 7pm, as it begins it’s annual celebration of the summer solstice. Huge crowds gather and there will be plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere of this historic event, walk amongst the stones, and observe the pagan rituals and ceremonies that take place at varying intervals throughout the evening. Please note there are two twenty to thirty-minute walks involved during the day to see the celebrations at Avebury and Stonehenge.

Sunrise Tour (21 June) - 8 hrs

Tour departs London at 1am on the 21st June and heads directly to Stonehenge arriving at roughly 3 am. The annual celebration of the summer solstice will be well under way by then as the atmosphere builds towards the sunrise and the climax of the event. Huge crowds gather and there will be plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere of this historic morning, walk amongst the stones, and observe the pagan rituals and ceremonies that take place at varying intervals throughout the evening. Please note there is a twenty to thirty-minute walk involved to get from the coach park to the event.
