Itinerary
We depart early, and aim to be one of the first groups to arrive at Stonehenge before the crowds. Your admission is included worth £25. This includes a visit to the monument, on site shuttle bus and access to the visitor centre and exhibition.
We drive through the Cotswolds region: know as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Admire the gentle rolling hills and charming villages.
Our afternoon stop is in the charming riverside village of Bourton-On-The-Water. Enjoy at least 90 m minutes here. Begin with a short introduction fro. your friendly guide, and then enjoy free time for lunch or to stroll around the village - known locally as the "Venice of The cotswolds".

There was not enough time to have lunch, tea and shop in the time we were in the Cotwolds. Other than that, it was a great tour.
It was an amazing experience. Tour guide was great and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this trip. Cotswold was amazing.
Be careful booking. Double booked me. Tour driver darren was great. Too long a ride. Would not do stonehedge wit cotswold again.
Martin was great! So kind, polite, funny, and informative. He was the best guide ever! Would recommend this excursion...especially if you could get Martin as you guide :)
It was a very friendly experience with Saghir our driver and guide. He gave enough information without being verbose. He had a great sense of humor and re lived his restaurant recommendation at Burtononthewater. As always not enough time at Stonehenge. We never had time to go to the video presentation nor the homes. I would have preferred more time at Stonehenge than the tourist trap town in the Cotswolds. But all we were delighted with the trip. Next time I'll just do Stonehenge to have more time and not feel rushed. The weather was perfect and not too crowded the end of Sept.
Great little trip, worth it Martin was a great driver and full of information Wish we had more time in Codwads
The tour guide was a local, very friendly and knowledgeable, and the tour itself was well paced and allowed plenty of stops for food/rest. The bus was very comfortable. Stonehenge has an incredible history and atmosphere. Cotswolds is a cozy village for some great shopping and sampling of local flavours. Great combination, I highly recommend it.
There is a lot of riding, but it is scenic. Good trip for those that want to see Stonehenge but not Bath. The Cotswold part of the trip was surprisingly good.
It is not a guided tour at stonehenge and you only there are only photo opportunities at one cotswold village
Our host, Emily, was knowledgeable and friendly and our driver, John was friendly and extremely skillful at navigating the narrow roads and getting us to our locations on time. We are so glad we took the early tour (left at 7 am) as we got in to Stonehenge just as it opened and missed the long lineups and crowds. I appreciate the small tour. The van was very comfortable and we were able to meet and speak with most other passengers. Bourton on the Water was beautiful. I highly recommend this tour.
Elijah was great. I loved the stories he shared about Stonehenge and the Cotswald. He also gave us recommendations for restaurants, shops, etc. in Burton on the water. We could not have asked for a better tour driver/tour guide. The entire experience was amazing.
It’s a lot of time on the bus from and to London. But Elijah was a good and pleasant driver. Stonehenge and Burton on the Water were worth the drive.
Tony was a great driver and tour guide. He gave us plenty of information as we drove on the surrounding area of London all the way to the Stonehenge and Bourton on the Water.
We did the Stonehenge & Cotswolds small tour, thinking that there was actually a tour guide involved to give insight and information along the way, as well as at the sites. Instead, we only had a driver that seemed to read random facts from ChatGPT with very little enthusiasm or interest. When we arrived at Stonehenge, we were directed to the shuttle bus and basically left on our own, even though the "guide/driver" went along with us. Same thing at Cotswolds. I thought we'd get a bit of information or history, a fun story here or there....but nothing. Not to mention the driving was atrocious! Speeding up like he's on a race course to then have to slam on the brakes going around turns. At one point, cups that were in the overhead shelf fell off and hit me because the curve was taken so fast. I don't usually get motion sick while in a vehicle but I literally had to keep my eyes closed the whole time to keep my stomach from churning. This was NOT what I was expecting after paying $250 for 2 of us to do this tour! I would NOT recommend the tour given as we received it. We essentially paid for a roller coaster ride to/from Stonehenge and Cotswolds and little else. On the flip side, Stonehenge was impressive to see, and Bourton-on-the-Water was a cute little village town. I just wish I knew more about them than what I had to research on my own after the fact.
Amazing, well-organized tour from start to finish! Our guide, Saghir, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the day enjoyable for everyone. Visiting Stonehenge and the Cotswolds was the perfect balance of history and beautiful countryside. Everything ran smoothly and was very well organized. Saghir was a safe driver, and the air conditioning on the coach was excellent, which made a huge difference during the heat advisory. This was one of the best tours I’ve taken, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting England. Thank you, Saghir, for such a wonderful experience!
Trish was a great tour guide. She was informative and kept the stories interesting. The trip is 10 hours in total but it is divided nicely so it does not feel that long.
This was a fantastic day. Starting with our lovely driver, San* (I should have taken better note of his name), who struck just the right tone with engagement, humour, and sharing facts along the tour, this was a 1-day express that gave me enough time to explore the incredible Stonehenge and the beautiful village of Bourton on the water. This was ann excellent tour and I’ll look to book again with this operator when I’m in England again.
Our guide Lucy provided us with a wealth of information during the journey to Stonehenge, and the driver got us there on time. On site, an audio guide app allows you to access information about the site in several languages. Bring your headphones! We are taken there for the site opening at 9:30, with few people, excellent for photos! The Cotswolds is a magnificent region, worth the detour! I highly recommend this tour!
