Itinerary
Experience Stonehenge with exclusive access to the Inner Stone Circle. Unlike regular visits, which keep guests behind a perimeter path, this exclusive opportunity allows you to step inside the ancient circle and walk among the towering stones in a quiet, uncrowded setting. Available only on select dates and times, either at sunrise or sunset, accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, you'll uncover the myths, mysteries, and archaeological significance of this 5,000-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site from a truly intimate perspective
Next, we visit the little-known, picturesque village of Lacock, which dates back to the Saxon era. This charming village has served as the backdrop for numerous movies and TV dramas, including Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Enjoy a peaceful stroll through this small but beautiful village.
We stop at the historic George Inn, a beautifully preserved 14th-century pub known for its traditional timber-framed architecture. Nestled in the heart of the village, this charming pub offers an inviting setting where you can enjoy an optional breakfast or dinner.
Explore the magnificent Roman Baths, located in the historic city of Bath, where over one million litres of naturally heated spring water still flow daily. Immerse yourself in the history and engineering marvels of this well-preserved ancient complex, offering a fascinating glimpse into Roman life and culture. (Entry included if this option is selected.)
Drive past No 1 Royal Crescent, an iconic Georgian townhouse in Bath that offers a stunning glimpse into 18th-century elegance and architecture. This beautifully preserved home showcases the lifestyle of the wealthy during Bath’s heyday.
Admire the stunning Bath Abbey, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture in the heart of Bath city center. Entry is available as an option, allowing you to explore its breathtaking interior, intricate stained glass, and rich history.

Just getting back from Stonehedge at summer solstice! Steve, Florian and the rest of the team were amazing. Informative, professional and it was the most organized tour that I've ever taken. It's hard to choose sometimes between the different options, we were very happy with the experience!
James did an amazing job in informing us all the sites around us while on out drive to Bath. He was very funny. Robert rocked his driving. He dropped us off on time and picked us up on time e
Once in a lifetime experience to be in the inner circle of Stonehenge. John our guide for the entire tour was very helpful with everything and Neil our driver got us back in one piece. The Stonehenge guides were also very knowledgeable. Bath was just a bonus. DO NOT DRINK THE WATER from Bath. Even though they have cups to sample the mineral springs, avoid it. There is too much black mold and dampness in the basement to ingest anything. Wife was very sick for the rest of our trip and we believe it was because of this. only thing we both didn't eat or share.
We had the best time with our guide Frank. Going inside the stones was a once in a lifetime experience! Also loved our time in Bath.
Frank was a convivial guide , knowledgeable, relaxed and entertaining. The very early start was challenging but once done, it was all very smooth.
The guide Frank did an excellent tour, he was friendly, knowledgeable and excited about the history of the stones as well as informative about the areas we visited. The bus was comfortable and the driver was skilled and careful. It was truly an amazing day. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend the tour.
Frank and Henry were fantastic. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to go inside the inner circle at Stonehenge. It is SO amazing and SO worth it.
We chose the early morning tour and had Frank as our guide and Henry as our driver. Both were excellent. Frank provided history at every stop and even areas between stops - very entertaining and informative. We had two kids, 7 and 12, and while very tired from waking up early they still enjoyed the tour. It was a long day but worth it to see the inner circle and hear excellent history from the very informative Stonehenge guides. The meal at the inn was fine, nothing overly exciting, but the kids had pancakes and bacon which were a great option for them.
Our tour guide Frank and driver Henry took such great care of us. Frank was so kind, engaging, and knowledgeable. At Stonehenge our guides Sam and Tom were just the same. It was a wonderful day and a wonderful tour.
Amazing Stonehenge inner circle tour. Very knowledgeable guide. Easy pace, very doable walk all day.
