Great stories on the way there. Great driver. A great and very special experience to see Stonehenge. Appreciated it was only half a day.
Perfect excoursion for half a day from Bath. The guide was entertaining and knowledgebable about Stonehedge. The transport was on time and easy to reach from the city center. Overall a lovely experience.
Sally is so hospitable. She is warm and funny, and made our journey to and from Stonehenge so worthwhile! This is the tour to take when in Bath. You will miss out on the kindest soul ever, and of course the beautiful landscape and history! The stay was the perfect length and we lucked out on the weather and missed the crowds since we were first in.
Highly recommend! Stonehenge tour was very interesting, well worth the time. I’d recommend the audio app, helps explain the history and timetables. Scarper Tours was very efficient, comfortable ride, departed and returned right on time, friendly driver, fun facts of the countryside shared during the ride to Stonehenge, took care of the entrance tickets and explained the 3 components of the tour with hints of how best to enjoy the experience! Cost was the best of the tours we looked into. Scarpers Tours added a van for our group of 9 (others would not). Perfect sized van, made it easy for everyone to get on/off and back to the van on time.
Sally was great! She was friendly and really knowledgeable. The ride was comfortable and Stonehenge was beautiful. We had two hours on site with an hour drive there and back. It was the perfect amount of time at the site.
Lovely photos! Thank you for this wonderful review, we're so glad you enjoyed your time with us. Here's to even more adventures in the future!
I was with my daughter, who wasn’t even 10 years old, so it was the right thing to do this morning only tour! I came back to Bath at 13:00 and they wanted to go back to the inn and take a break. The heat this summer is especially baffling for children… It’s less humid than in Japan, but the sun is much stronger. I couldn't really hear your name, but the male tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained it in very easy to understand English, which was very helpful.
We agree, our half-day tour is a great option, you can see Stonehenge and still have time to relax when you get back to Bath. Thank you for this lovely review, and happy travels!
The hour ride there and back to Stonehenge was quaint, and our guide gave some good commentary on the beautiful countryside. You get two hours at Stonehenge, which I didn't entirely at the physical monument. There is an extra exhibit there should you not need that much time out in the sun looking at old rocks. Overall, a very pleasurable experience and would go back if I were in the area!
Thank you so much Roy, we'd love to have you on board again! It's great that you were able to spend as long as you needed at Stonehenge - it's an amazing sight and shouldn't be rushed. Happy travels!
It was a very convenient and nice way to get to Stonehenge. We got plenty of time to explore there. Richard was a very friendly and good tour guide/driver. He spoke about the scenery we passed on the drive and even passed around pictures of other things he brought up. It was a very nice trip.
We're so glad you enjoyed Richard's commentary during the journey, the route from Bath to Stonehenge is beautiful and full of interesting sights. Thank you so much for this wonderful review, we really appreciate it. 😊
Very good tour . Small group of 15 . Richard the tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. Would recommend . Good value .
Thank you so much for recommending us, and for this lovely review of our fab guide Richard. Enjoy the rest of your adventures!
The experience was great. The tour is very complete and is well worth it. We went from Bath and they picked us up right in the city center. The trip to Stonehenge was very pleasant because the guide, who was very professional, kept telling us stories about the city and the places we were passing through. Likewise, with the tour we avoided the access lines to the site, which saved us time. We were very satisfied with the experience, honestly. We recommend it 100%.
¡Muchísimas gracias por recomendarnos! Nuestra excursión de medio día encaja a la perfección con un viaje a Bath. Es un viaje fascinante a Stonehenge y luego dos horas completas para explorar el sitio a fondo. ¡Muchísimas gracias por esta reseña tan estupenda, eres genial! 😊
