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.

Very happy that we chose to go on this tour as I think the experience at Stonehenge was much much better than seeing it on the outside. Carol was an amazing guide!
NOT PRIVATE. Shocking that this has not been pointed out in reviews. Tours were fine, guide was lovely. But don’t get expectations up. Very misleading to call this private, and there are loads of less expensive tours.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Aaron. We were surprised to see your review, particularly as it appears to have been posted at the very start of the tour. We would like to clarify that this tour is not advertised as a private tour. It is a shared tour that includes a private viewing of Stonehenge. As clearly stated in the Additional Information section on Viator, the group size can be up to 51 travellers. We hope you were able to enjoy the Stonehenge Inner Circle experience and the rest of the tour. Kind regards, Premium Tours Team
Great tour with James our guide and Mo (our amazingly skilled driver) Inner circle was outstanding (except we were a bit early for the actual sunset, so a wee bit disappointed about timing on that) the staff at the circle (Wendy!) were full of info and made it such a great experience. Bath was lovely, but would have wished for more time there and at the other village stop (Lacock) where we had lunch. This is a very full day and not as much walking as one would think (probably more sitting than walking given the time allotted; However the scenery though the countryside is stunningly bucolic.
James and Moe were fantastic. They dared to entertain us and get us back to our hotel safely. The nerve of some people.
We had a terrific time! James and Mo were great.
A wonderful experience that's definitely not to miss! Our tour guide James was very entertaining and informative, and our bus driver Moe was excellent. I had a lovely time. :)
Our host James and driver Mo were excellent. James is funny and knowledgeable. Favorite part was the going in to the Stones!
Awesome Experience with James and Mo
Once in a lifetime experience to be able to go inside Stonehenge and be up close and personal with the stones. Fantastic stops along the way with Bath and Lacock. James was an amazing guide and extremely knowledgeable. Mo, our bus driver, was excellent as well.
James and Mo are the dynamic duo! They were super friendly and great company! Amazing driving and funny commentary! The trip gave you a taste of Bath, Lacock, and the tour at Stonehenge was worth the whole day! An amazing experience!
