The experience

The tour leaves Bath and heads toward Stonehenge in a luxury mini-coach with panoramic windows and air-conditioning. Your driver-guide points out sights as you travel: the rolling Salisbury Plains, Celtic hill forts, thatched villages and, weather permitting, the Westbury White Horse, a chalk carving from the 1770s. The ride itself takes just under an hour, so you're not spending the morning in transit.

Once you arrive at Stonehenge, the driver-guide sorts your entrance tickets and explains the site layout. From there, the time is yours. You can walk the stones at whatever pace suits you, spend time in the visitor centre's exhibition hall, grab lunch at the café or browse the shop. Free audio guides are available in ten languages if you want context as you move through the site, subject to availability. Two hours is the minimum you'll have here, which the operator notes is enough to see Stonehenge properly without rushing.

On the return journey, you'll pass the same landscape again, this time with the option to sit back after a morning of walking. The whole experience runs four hours door to door from Bath.
