The Experience

The tour leaves Southampton in a Mercedes E350 sedan with a driver who knows the area well. You travel in air conditioning with bottled water provided, and the vehicle has space for luggage: either two large cases plus two small bags, or three medium cases plus two small bags. The driver can adjust the route if you want to visit somewhere else along the way, so the itinerary is not fixed.

Salisbury Cathedral comes first. It is the tallest cathedral in England and holds one of only four remaining original Magna Carta documents. From there, the route leads to Stonehenge, the 4,500-year-old stone circle. Both sites require separate entrance tickets, which you arrange before the tour or at the gate. The whole outing takes about five hours from pickup to drop-off within the Southampton area.

The service is built on flexibility. If the standard route does not suit you (if you want to linger at one site, skip the other, or add a third stop), the driver will work with you to make it happen. WiFi is available in the vehicle where the network reaches.
