Itinerary
Travel back over 5,000 years time to prehistoric Britain and explore the ancient ruins of the world's preeminent Neolithic monument. Enjoy 2.5 hours to explore the site at your own pace as you step inside the reconstructed Neolithic houses, furnished with replica axes, pottery and other functional items. Inside the world-class visitor exhibition centre, come face-to-face with a 5,500-year-old man and discover over 250 archaeological objects on display, including jewellery and even human remains. Admire the impressive megaliths of the ancient Stone Circle, some of which stand over 9 metres (30 feet) tall and weigh more than 25 tons. Along the landscape of the Salisbury Plain, you'll see hundreds of barrows that stretch as far as the eye can see. Find out why these barrows exist, and answer other important questions along the way such as 'who made Stonehenge' and 'how was Stonehenge built'.

The half day trip to Stonehenge was a fast, efficient, and easy way to experience the site via bus from London. The bus tour guide was thorough and quite helpful.

It was nice for what it was. It was, basically, just transportation to and from Stonehenge with an audio guide tour. If you’re looking for a fuller experience book something else. Maybe something that stops elsewhere along the way and has a guided tour. This was a six hour day with four hours spent traveling to and from. I think now I probably should have opted for a 10 hour day or an eight hour day with other stops along the way.

It’s a long half day drive but I’ve wanted to see Stonehenge since I was a little girl and it was worth the wait. Food choices onsite were ok, guide provided WiFi and it’s worth it to download the app for the tour before you need WiFi. It was informative and allowed us to participate on our own. You see it from every angle so it’s pretty cool. Coach was ok, not super comfortable and only one charger worked it was pretty cramped but otherwise fine for the drive.

We also appreciate your helpful tips for future travellers regarding the audio guide app. Thank you for your comments about the coach comfort and charging facilities, which we will share with our team as we continue to improve our services. We hope to welcome you back on another Evan Evans tour soon. Kind regards, Evan Evans Team
We understood that the temperatures would be a bit high, so we went prepared with sunscreen, hats, an umbrella because our excursion was in June. I don’t need to talk about the actual stones because for us it was amazing to experience and see them. My biggest complaint would be with the crew of Evan Evans who managed the trip; as other Tours, for being ushered to luxury buses, we received the worst bus because it was a double-decker bus like hop-on hop-off. Truly uncomfortable, and for a five hour journey the least they could’ve done was gotten us a better more comfortable bus.
A lot of traveling; a lot to learn not met.. we traveled a total of 5-6 hours and Stonehenge was amazing but there was so much to learn that was not covered. Who were the Druids, for example?
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed visiting Stonehenge. We’re sorry to learn you would have liked more historical information during the tour. Your comments are appreciated and will be shared with our team as we continually look for ways to improve our guests’ experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on another Evan Evans tour in the future. Kind regards, Evan Evans
Great coach and host, enough time to walk around freely and very well organised and set out. A great self guided tour with audio as well

Tour guide Jes and driver Dalton are awesome and added value to the experience. Great information and safe driving can’t ask for more.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind review. We’re delighted to hear that Jes and Dalton added so much value to your experience. It’s wonderful to know that you appreciated the informative commentary and safe, professional driving. Kind regards, Evan Evans
On the bus ride to Stonehenge, there were no vents circulating air so it was hot & stuffy. I used CHAT to notify Viator of this matter. Someone on board did immediately address the issue & got the vents working but the air was so cool that we were all freezing & grabbing for jackets we did not bring along - unfortunately. “Climate control” should have been someone’s responsibility - the comfort of your patrons should be a top priority. At Stonehenge we were given ear phones & an audio gadget so we could do a self-guided tour of the monument. Of the 5 in our group, only 2 were able to hear the presentation. One gadget simply died, 2 others kept changing from English to Italian. It would have been far more beneficial to have had 2 guides from Viator join our bus & give a personal presentation. We returned home & Googled “Stonehenge” to get the information needed to better understand what we’d just seen. Ps - Our bus driver did a great job maneuvering safely through morning rush hour traffic. Much appreciated.
Bus went bad and it was hot in the bus. Wasted 1.5 hrs in the bus and the guide wouldn’t use microphone to communicate with travellers
