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'.

It’s self guide tour, guide helped you to the bus and pointed out where to go. Experience was great.
I would really have liked to have had a guide to talk to us on the bus about what we might be seeing along the way and some information about Stonehenge before we got there.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that having more commentary during the journey would have made the experience more informative and engaging, especially with some background about Stonehenge before arriving. Your suggestion is greatly appreciated, and we’ll share it with our team as we continue looking for ways to enhance the experience for our guests. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards, Evanevanstours team
It is a long way to go and for us we had very bad traffic. The traffic resulted in us arriving late, reducing the time had at Stonehenge. We had to rush to make it to the bus in time to get back to England. We felt the time at Stonehenge should not have been reduced.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry that the heavy traffic affected your journey and significantly reduced the time you had at Stonehenge. We completely understand how disappointing it must have been to feel rushed after such a long journey. We appreciate your concern that the time at Stonehenge should not have been reduced.

Really comfortable journey, and the air conditioning was very much appreciated in the middle of a heatwave! The free Wi-Fi was fast enough for the basics, such as WhatsApp and Facebook. I was also able to charge my phone on the way back, using the USB port. The driver was excellent at navigating both the London traffic and the busy motorways. Evan Evans was easy to find at Victoria Coach Station, I was ridiculously early—just in case! If you do arrive early, there are plenty of coffee shops and toilets, plus a Sainsburys just a short walk outside the coach station. I also really appreciated the staff checking people in. They noticed when people tried to queue-jump by stepping in front of me (something that happens far too often when travelling solo) and, just before opening the doors, asked everyone to line up behind me. A small thing, but it made a big difference! Stonehenge itself is well worth a visit. Two hours was plenty of time to see the stones, browse the gift shop and grab something from the café. Overall, a really enjoyable and well-organised trip.
Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a comfortable and well-organised journey, especially during the heatwave.

We’re especially happy to hear that our check-in team made you feel looked after and ensured the boarding process was fair and organised. We agree that those small details can make a big difference! It’s wonderful to know that you felt two hours at Stonehenge gave you enough time to explore, visit the gift shop, and enjoy the café. Thank you again for sharing such thoughtful feedback and for choosing Evan Evans Tours. We hope to welcome you back on another enjoyable adventure soon! Kind regards, Evanevanstours team
The bus boarded orderly and left on time. However, the Wi-Fi didn’t work and only one type of charger could be used, making for long trips to and from. The self guided audio tour was very helpful and informative, but it appeared this free app could be available for anyone. It was pricey, but this historical site is a must see if given the opportunity.

Instructions on where to find tour operator would have been helpful ahead of time, we were ok as we got to the station early. Host and driver were very friendly. Bus was nice, new and cool on a very hot day but very very uncomfortable seats - I know how that sounds, I was not expecting a lazy boy, but the seats were hard as a rock which killed my back on the two hour ride there and two hour ride back. I feel like this was an expensive tour for a bus ride as this is not a guided tour (you can download an app that tells you a bit about Stonehenge) took a whole of 10 minutes to walk around Stonehenge and that was it. I wouldn’t necessarily deter you from the trip but we aware that you get a bus ride there and back (no bathroom) and enter to Stonehenge - that’s it!
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear that our host and driver were friendly and that you found the coach clean, new, and comfortably cool on such a hot day. We sincerely apologize for the difficulty finding the tour operator and appreciate your suggestion that clearer instructions should be provided in advance. We’re also sorry that the seats were uncomfortable during the long journey. We understand how uncomfortable a four-hour round trip can be when the seating does not provide enough support. We also appreciate your comments about the nature and value of the Stonehenge experience. Your feedback regarding the journey, facilities, and the amount of time spent at the site is valuable and will be shared with our team. Thank you again for joining us and for helping us understand where we can improve the experience for future guests. Kind regards, Evanevanstours team
We enjoyed our trip to Stonehenge a lot. It was a great way to get to the site without having to navigate a rental or other means of transportation. The two hours on site was plenty of time to take the shuttles to the rocks and still grab lunch at the cafe. Our only concerns were that 1. the checkin at the bus station was hard to find at first, disorganized, and a little hectic, and 2. the seats in the bus were uncomfortable as the bus was probably not designed for such a long ride. Other than that, everything went smoothly and we'd recommend others to use this service.

Beautiful experience; patience, 2 hours from London to get there, but it is worth it! Excellent transport, very competent, well-trained, and friendly staff.

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.
