The experience

The Stone Circle stands 5,000 years old, and a private guide walks you through what drew Neolithic people to erect it. Your guide handles the entrance tickets on arrival, so you step straight into the site without queuing. The tour covers the archaeology, the recent discoveries that have reshaped what we know about the monument, and the answers to the questions Stonehenge inspires in everyone who stands there. A private group of up to six means you move at your own pace and ask without waiting for a larger tour to catch up.

The journey from Bath takes a short drive in a luxury vehicle with pickup from your hotel. The four-hour outing includes the travel time and the guided walk of the Stone Circle itself, so you're back in Bath by early afternoon. The guide speaks English and knows the site well enough to answer what the place actually is, beyond the photographs.
