Stonehenge halvdags luksus guidet tur fra Bath for 2-8

Our half-day Stonehenge tour with Simon was the high point of our family's trip to the UK, and six months later it's still what we come back to when we talk about the trip. That's saying something, because we spent real time in London and traveled elsewhere in the country. Simon picked us up at our hotel in Bath and set the tone immediately. He treated us as guests in his country rather than passengers on a route. What followed wasn't a lecture but a day of learning through immersion. He moved across history, myth and fact, current scientific developments around the site, literary connections, and popular culture, and he kept it engaging without performing. He read the four of us quickly (my husband and I, plus our two adult children in their twenties) and shaped the day around what we were actually interested in. He asked us questions and answered ours, and he pointed out things in the countryside we would have driven past. The vehicle was clean and well-appointed, and the small group size made real conversation possible. Small-group tours cost more. I had done my research before booking and it was worth every additional pound. Stonehenge had been on my husband's bucket list for years, and by the time we left we had learned more about the site and the surrounding area than any of us expected, past and present, the kind of detail you can only get from someone who has firsthand experience. Simon also made recommendations throughout the day for places to visit and things to read, and every one of them has held up. They've extended my reading and given me threads to pull on long after the trip ended. I've been on many tours, including several trips through Europe with students and different tour companies, and this one stood apart. Simon works with a small group of guides who treat this as a craft rather than a job, and it shows in every part of the day. I rarely write reviews, but if you're heading to the UK and Stonehenge is on your list, book this one.

Max was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, flexible and a great communicator. Highly recommend this as a half day tour from Bath!

Prompt, knowledgeable, good character. Comfortable van! Water provided. Pick up and drop off were customized

My husband and I went on the half day Stonehenge Tour. Our guide was wonderful. He was pleasant and answered all our many questions. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a tour of Stonehenge leaving from Bath.

We thoroughly enjoyed our half day Stonehenge tour. Our guide, Simon, did an outstanding job explaining the broader history of the region and how it related to Stonehenge. He had very good visual aids to help explain Stonehenge creation, layout, etc. We never would have gained the same appreciation for the area as we did with this tour!

This was easily the most enjoyable tour experience I have ever had the pleasure of taking! We were able to have a private tour with Roland, a local retired history teacher, who was the most kind, informational, and capable host. He provided a wealth of knowledge and was very happy to answer our many questions. We learned so much about the area, both the city and surrounding countryside, on the way to Stonehenge and of course about Stonehenge itself. We were given some time on our own to explore and shop as well. Roland was incredibly considerate, giving us recommendations for the rest of our journey and even dropped us off at our next destination when we were short on time. Cannot recommend enough!

Lynette and I recently spent a wonderful day with Simon from In and Beyond Bath exploring Stonehenge and then walking historic Bath. Simon was terrific to work with from our initial email exchange to a short telephone conversation to finalize our plans for the day. Simon was incredibly helpful with the logistics of taking the train from Paddington to Bath Spa. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Simon - extremely knowledgeable about Stonehenge and how best to visit. And we had a wonderful time walking through historic Bath even finding time to stop for a very nice coffee. All in all a very pleasant experience in working with Simon followed by a wonderful day of exploring. If you are interested in visiting Stonehenge and / or Bath, we would highly, highly recommend In and Beyond Bath. We are looking forward to a return engagement with Simon to explore the Cotswolds.

Our guide Max was fabulous! Very knowledgeable about things along the drive as well as Stonehenge. It was a best do!

What an amazing tour. Simon picked us up at the hotel and took us to Stonehenge. He shared stories of the country side. My wife is a huge history nut and he and Simon had a great conversation talking about history and TV shows that was filmed in the area. His knowledge of Stonehenge was very interesting and kept my 11 year old daughter amused. He was very easy going for the tour and even stopped at a small village on the drive home for a quick walking tour.

Max, our guide, gave our group a great experience. His commentary made the trip down to Stonehenge fly by and kept everybody engaged. It hardly needs to be said that he shared his considerable knowledge of Stonehenge’s history and apparent purpose and put it all in context of the bigger archeological picture of the Downs.
