Reviews
The Stonehenge experience itself was great, but I highly recommend booking the earlier tour rather than the last tour of the day. Our bus arrived late, leaving us only about 30 minutes to experience Stonehenge before it closed at 4:30 PM. The shops closed at 5 PM, but our bus did not depart until 6 PM, so a good portion of our time there was after everything had closed. Since it takes a couple of hours to get there from London, any delay can really cut into your experience. The bus itself was nice and comfortable, but there were no charging ports, so make sure your phone is charged. We really enjoyed Stonehenge and definitely recommend visiting, just choose the earlier tour so you have plenty of time to enjoy everything without feeling rushed.
The site was incredible. The history and the accomplishments. The bus ride was over theee hours each way Not sure I’d do that again for a half hour visit. Driver was professional and courteous but long ride each way.
Great experience and Armando was brilliant.
The afternoon tour did not disclose the fact that the Stonehedge site close at 4:30, the cafe close at 5, and the exhibition also close early. No one told us about the 4:30 closure time. The stuff at the site basically told us we need to leave because the site is about to close. The tour said we have 2.5 hours at the site but in reality it is about 1 hour. Since the tour starts at 1:15, by the time we get there was around 3:2p. You still need to take a shuttle to the site. If you stop by the rest room or get some coffee before heading to the site. We end up seeing the site for less than an hour, the exhibition was closed by then, and we were the last couple that were able to get a cup of coffee before they close. The only thing that stayed open was the gift shop. So there is no point telling us we have 2.5 hours there when in reality, it was only 1 to 1.5 hours. If the description had these kind of detail, we were not pick these time or tour.
I took the 1:30 tour to Stonehenge. it was a comfortable coach bus with good air-conditioning/heat and comfortable seats. There were no Wi-Fi on board or charging outlets FYI. The drive was approximately two hours, we left a little late getting there at 3:45. Upon arriving, you walk down a hill past a set of bathrooms and have an optional shuttle bus to the stones. You can also walk, but I would guess that it’s about a little over a mile each way. When we arrived, the shuttle bus driver told us that the last shuttle bus leaves the stones at 4:30. I took a leisurely walk up the hill and around the stones and that measured about 3/4 of a mile. The stones are roped off and you were unable to get near them, but there are plenty of opportunities for wonderful pictures and selfies. It was truly an amazing sight to finally see. I jumped back on the bus to get back to the meeting point, and you exit the bus and walk through a gift shop. Gift shop was great. There were a lot of souvenirs to take home. After that, there was a small café to get pasties, coffee, and some other sandwiches. Not sure where the fish and chips were that they discussed on the description of the tour. Our driver asked us to return at 6:30. I was back at the café at five and had plenty of time to sit at the tables, relax and have a little bit of food and coffee. Almost everyone arrived back at the bus early because it was a little chilly and we were able to leave by 6:15. our driver, Xavier, was excellent and navigated the London traffic expertly and got us safely back to London. I didn’t notice until after the fact that there was a QR code on our admission bracelet for an audio tour. I wish I would’ve seen that. I highly recommend this tour as it is a must see if you have the time.
Very nice place you can take photos with stone And read the history and see the green fields Very nice experience but not deserving more than the fees of transport
Totally worth the price of admission. Tour guide had a ton of great tips and stories to share. The length of the visit was great.
Left the Station about 1:15. It took over 3 hours to get to Stonehenge. It is about 2 miles from the visitor center to the stones. The Staff closes access to stones at 5:30. We had about 15 minutes to view. Visitor center closes at 6:00. Bus left at 6:50. We opted to get fish and chips at end. The kitchen at the pub closes at 9:00. We arrived at the pub shortly before 9:00, just in time to be served. The food was good. Not sure how much time is alloted for earlier tours, but there is not enough time on the afternoon tour to walk around the stones let alone tour the grounds.
Literally this is just a bus ride to and from Stonehenge. There is no tour on the way there or back, no assistance while you are there. Just a bus ride. But Stonehenge was nice
VERY long and a REALLY uncomfortable bus ride from London. Cafe on the site of Stonehenge is not clean and it closes long before the site itself is empty of visitors. Otherwise very well set up and an enjoyable experience.
The drive from Victoria is long and with traffic it took 3 hours to get there. 2 1/2 hours at Stonehenge wasn’t necessary since we got there so late. The last bus back to the parking lot is at 5:30 and our bus back to Victoria didn’t leave until about 7pm. Just lots of waiting in the heat.
We were very happy that we took this tour. Stonehenge is very impressive. Your is not guided so some homework is needed
Truly a great experience. Our driver stopped along the way for a quick restroom break. This was a great day trip from London and way to pass the time until we could check into our hotel. We both suggest this experience.
This isn’t a tour in any sense - it’s a bus ride and ticket. The driver didn’t add any commentary and didn’t have details about logistics. Do kids need tickets? Who knows! How long does it take to get back to the visitors center? No clue. In any case it was billed as a 2.5 hour onsite ‘tour’ but after about an hour at the stones we all were told the site was closing early and we had to catch the last shuttle bus. It was enough time for us but then we still had to sit at the bus and wait for the better part of an hour to leave, with nothing to do. The toilet on the bus was broken and although there was a monitor on the bus, the driving didn’t play anything. Would have been a nice add to play information about the site! Very underwhelming.
I loved that I finally got to see the Stonehenge site. I have read a lot about it and the exhibits around it are fun for all ages. However, it could have better if we had a tour guide presenter or audio guide. When I booked the tour the description said we would receive headsets for an audio guide. We did not get that. When I finished the visit I saw a sign that had a QR code to listen to a presentation on my phone. Too late though..Ooverall I still liked the visit and my general knowledge of Stonhenge was sufficient to make it enjoyable.
Im a Travel advisor from Arkansad and I brought my group tour on this trip. Absolutely the Best Trip and tour guide ever. Steve and Robert.
We happened to be in England during a heat wave. Thankfully the bus had A/C and was comfy! We had plenty of time at Stonehenge. Definitely recommend!
Good day ala in all fish and chips not available after a long day of walking and offered a burger or salad instead.
Our driver was excellent. This is a bare bones tour. The bus takes you to Stonehenge and back. Tickets are included. There is an app you can download for information while you walk around.
Very busy tourist attraction so be prepared to wait for the shuttle busses unless you are in shape to make the 30 min walk to and from the site's parking lot. Incredibly .memorable trip.
There are no USB chargers on the bus. Make sure all of your stuff is fully charged. It was a great experience. On the way back though, my phone was dead because I spent the day doing Google maps for things we did prior to this event. The fish and chips were tasty also.
Grandson wanted a bit of a sleep in. This tour has a later start and good way to get to Stonehenge if that’s all you want to do for the day.
2.5 Hours was a little long to stay at Stonehenge as it was very windy, but Neil was a great driver!
Great company to book for a trip to Stonehenge. I was helped through text message and a phone call to navigate to the meetup spot. The driver was fun and engaging (he gave us facts about west London). The drive was a smooth 2-hour journey each way and a 4-minute shuttle to the stones. There was plenty of time for pictures, food, and rest. I am so happy with my experience. We arrived home early which was appreciated.
The ride was good driver stopped to allow bathroom break and acquire snacks or lunch. Be prepared for cold windy weather if you go in February.
Bus Driver and self lead tour was amazing! Bus Service got us to and from destination quickly and safely.
Excelent, definetely my money's worth. The tour was on time, the guide was really nice. Honestly, I would not have bookes this any other way.
Neolithic heritage of the UK. Cold weather condition but the tour operator was very professional and friendly. It was a nice experience. There is a shuttle in the site. Everything is on the time.
Convenient transportation. On time, efficient, and extremely helpful for those not wanting to rent their own car while in London. Definitely take time to enter the visitor center and walk around the sheep-studded landscape.
We travel for 2 hrs was really fast the driver was very nice and helpful Great experience and interesting in history
Very smooth and well organized, really comfy bus, excellent driver, and plenty of time to visit the stones, see the exhibit, and shop/eat. Also 10:45am is a great departure time option - not too early, you get the best of the day, and leave right as the sun sets.
David was a great tour guide. It is a long day so prepared for the fast pace but you should enjoy. It the pub had great fish and chips.
we liked it very much, we liked all the things we visited: Stonehenge, its museum and Bath. Expecially how the guide explained during the bus travel.
Bus ride and entry to Stonehenge. 2.5 hours at the site - enough time to walk, have some lunch and look at the exhibit. Cheaper than taking the bus and train there on your own. Self-guided audio tour at Stonehenge.
It was a very good bus trip. Easy location and very comfortable bus trip. We probably had too much time, but we did get back at a reasonable time. Highly recommend!
Wonderful commentary as we trekked from London to Stonehenge then to Bath. Our guide was exceptional. Made me feel comfortable to be so far away from home. Thank you for making my introduction to London so lovely.
So easy- perfect amount of time. No frills- excellent value!! Our driver was hilarious but also not overly talkative so the bus rides were relaxing.
Didn’t get a tour guide even though there’s usually one (the driver just said we didn’t get one today), so we didn’t get the audio guide upon arrival or any help whatsoever. Also I got the fish and chips add-on, you don’t get dropped off at the restaurant afterwards and no drinks are included (even Coke or water).
The tour guide was very nice, with documentaries while youre on the bus there and back explaining a lot about stonehenge. Once you get there you get plenty of time to relax and walk around with a beautiful sight of stonehenge. Highly recommend.
Bus driver shows up 20 minutes late (and took his time getting refreshments inside, furthering our delay), with zero communication of any kind. We had no idea what was going on until we got to the sight, and the only thing he was able to say was the time we were expected back on the bus. If he communicated as much as he played on his phone, we might’ve had an idea what was going on. The fish and chips was listed as a lunch. We had to literally run to make it because we were back so late, and nowhere were we told that transportation to the pub was on us until it was far too late to do anything about it. We’ve made the mistake of using Premium Tours twice now, and will be looking to avoid them moving forward. They treat you like a number, if they acknowledge you at all. In fact, the ONLY time we were treated well was at the crowded pub. They were slammed, and yet they still had time to make us feel welcome. Premium Tours should stop by the pub and take notes.
It was an amazing experience! Truly appreciated all the help and time Steve took to give details and make the trip personal.
Be prepared for weather conditions, lots of parking space for busses. Variety of selections at restaurant.
Be sure to download the app from English Heritage. It gives you an amazing experience and I noticed that I was looking for things like the Aubrey Holes that some tours skipped. I liked the independent style but appreciate that I was driven in a comfortable bus and didn’t have to deal with traffic or parking.
Fun, great driver and ran smoothly. I really like our driver who took extra time to find my restaurant. I love the afternoon shift and to go to stonehenge.
The bus trip from central London was two hours, but comfortable. The driver was nice, but wished that some info would have been given of the location and the surrounding area.
Amazing Experience to finally see this Ancient Site! I’m glad to the site so well protected, and available to the public.
Stonehenge was fine but the bus ride up was terrible. The bus driver did not know how to operate the air conditioning on the bus and 70 people were sweating on the 2.5 hour trip. They sent a separate bus to return us but it became apparent that even on the new bus the operator did not know how to operate the air conditioning.or really care how hot it was. We were all sweating to death again but this time we forced him to pull over twice. We finally Googled the operation manual for the bus and we figured out how to turn the air conditioning on. Life seemed good after another 1.5 hours of sweating. Then, we pull over and wait another 15 minutes for them to switch drivers when we were about 25 minutes from our drop off point. The. They tried to drop us off at the wrong train station. The transportation bus line - Premier - is a joke. Don’t know who is in charge or organizing them, or training their drivers but a 5th grader could have run a better operation.
Stone Henge is such a rich experience, I recommend the self-guided tour. The bus service was comfy and convenient. Then, we had lots of time to explore the site - the exhibit center, the mounds, trails at the site, and more. Stone Henge itself is awesome. But it doesn’t stop there: The history, the burial mounds, and exhibits enrich the experience. Bonus: You can walk through sheep pastures.
James was the best tour guide ever. Great sense of humor and you truly feel like you’re in great hands with Mo as well. He knows plenty about the history and about the cities and highways so he was able to help guide us on the best way for us to make it home. Highly recommend this experience and suggest other experiences around London as well with him.
