LONDON TO STONEHENGE IN HALF A DAY!

Early Half-Day Stonehenge Tour. Be among the first groups to arrive!

This tour has great value, including your admission to the Stonehenge site, valued at £25. This grants you entry to the monument, on-site shuttle bus, visitor centre and exhibition. Ride in comfort from London to Stonehenge with commentary from your experienced guide, introducing the fascinating history of the prehistoric landscape and people. There is also a café, a gift shop and toilet at the visitor centre. English Heritage Wi-Fi is available on site.

We arrive at 9.30am when the site opens and are usually one of the first tour groups at Stonehenge, ahead of the crowds. We spend at least 2 hours at Stonehenge to allow you to fully enjoy the site, and depart again at 12pm. We are normally back in London by 2pm.

Getting around the site

Shuttle buses travel between the visitor centre and the monument. They are free to ride and come every 5 minutes. Upon arrival, we recommend taking the shuttle bus directly to the stones to beat the crowds. You can then use the shuttle bus to return to the visitor centre, or take a walk back through the landscape. The walk from the visitor centre to Stonehenge takes approximately 30 minutes. Please bring suitable shoes for walking if you would like to do so.

Stonehenge audio guide

We recommend downloading the audio guide app, available for free in thirteen languages. Learn more about the fascinating history of the monument and its builders as you marvel at the stones. Wi-Fi and mobile signal can be unreliable at the site, so we suggest downloading the app before your tour. Please bring your own headphones/earphones if you want to listen to the audio guide. There are three audio tours available: the Stone Circle, the Exhibition, and the Landscape.

Reviews

Great day at the Cotswolds, Oxford and Stratford on Avon. Tour guide James was very informative, interesting and definitely not boring. Bus driver Marius was fantastic and also entertaining.

I took the Stonehenge and Bath tour. It was perfect, Rosie was so nice, and she explained everything so well because she actually lived there in Bath, so she knew interested facts about everything. I totally recommend it.

This half-day trip was great. It was nice to be able to arrive at the site right as it was opening. Our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable and the bus ride was very comfortable. It was the right amount of time to spend at Stonehenge.
