Itinerary
Planning to tick Stonehenge off your bucket list? This stress-free return trip to Stonehenge from London will allow you to explore the world-famous site at a relaxed pace. The coach for this self-guided tour will be departing from Victoria, central London – make sure you are at the pickup spot at least 15 minutes beforehand to check in! As you’re walking around Stonehenge, you’ll get to learn about the many theories (some still standing, some proven wrong) surrounding this remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Site. Was it a burial ground? A sacred temple? A way to tell the time? Despite having been sitting proudly on Salisbury Plain for 5,000 years, Stonehenge is still very much an enigma. Hear about its long history and enjoy this fascinating place! You’ll also have time to explore the site’s exhibition and visitor centre – containing 250 ancient objects discovered around Stonehenge – and walk around the incredible models of Neolithic houses.

Great time with Armando the tour guide
Exactly how it was described - transportation and tickets to Stonehenge. No frills but just what I was looking for. They were very timely and organized and gave us sufficient time to see the whole site!
Our driver, Armando, made this Stonehenge visit a lot of fun! He shared great stories as we traveled out of London and got us to the location safely. Great value for this tour. Transportation and admission into Stonehenge are included. I would highly recommend this tour. Please be aware, there is not a tour guide at Stonehenge and you will need to download an app. This seems to be common for all the visitors. I added photos in case people wanted to walk to the site versus taking the shuttle.
Very good advice from our driver Kiran - very informative on the journey there and back from London. Be aware though, if you book through Viator on an iPhone, the pickup /drop off locations on your tickets are NOT accurate. Be sure to arrive early and make sure you have the correct location - we almost didn’t make it once we discovered the incorrect info.
Elvio was super attentive to all attendees of the tour. It was one of the hottest days and he made sure everyone was well prepared. He also was super funny and informative on our drive over!
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that Elvio made your Stonehenge tour such an enjoyable experience. We're pleased that his attentiveness, humour, and informative commentary helped make the journey memorable, especially on such a hot day. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Elvio. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
There wasn't much to it other than a bus ride to the park, then a shuttle bus to the site. There was very little narrative from either driver. Also, the weather was terrible the day we went; cold, rainy, and windy. That's no fault of Viator's obviously, just be prepared. Which we were, but we still didn't stay as long as we would have liked. Also, this is another tour that was changed on us. There was supposed to be a snack included and for some unknown reason, it got changed on us. When we got to the bus the driver explained that it was only for those who reserved the front rows of the bus. My question is, what did I pay for then? I wasn't offered any sort of refund when my reservation was changed. So far Viator is 0 and 2 for changing up my reservation on me.
I think my expectations were a bit high. The coach driver was amazing, he really knows london and pointed out some great things. For Stone Henge itself... you get there, have to get another bus to the sight, cant get close to Stones, just walk around, back to Visitor centre which is very interesting. There was no tour guide for Stone Henge, i was glad i watched a documentary about it, because you were just left to your own devices. Not being able to get close to tge stones, i couldnt get a feel for it. Also we were not dropped back to where we got the bus in London. I found that really annoying.
Great trip, right amount of time at Stonehenge. Self guided tour was a nice way to spend the time. The walk from the visitor center was nice too.
It is a long drive to the site. As long as you know, you are going to see pile of rocks then you know what you are getting. It is about four hours of driving to spend about 30 minutes walking around the henge.
Comfortable on your own tour to Stone hedge. Basic things we need, a comfortable ride back and forth and plenty of time to explore the sight.
