The experience
Most people who visit Stonehenge see it from a distance, kept behind barriers at the perimeter. On this tour, you enter the inner circle itself: the restricted area where you stand among stones up to 30 feet tall and weighing 25 tons. The access happens outside regular opening hours, which is what keeps the site quieter and more atmospheric than the daytime crowds. A guide walks you through the site with a personal audio headset so you hear the detail without raising voices, and the coach has WiFi and USB chargers for the journey both ways.
After Stonehenge, the tour moves to Windsor, a riverside town in the Royal County of Berkshire with medieval streets, tea rooms and shopping arcades. Windsor Castle dominates the skyline. It has been an official royal residence for nearly 1,000 years and is Europe's largest continuously occupied castle. Entry to the castle is not included in the base tour, but tickets are available to purchase on the day if you want to go inside. If you prefer, you can wander the town, browse the shops, or simply take in the castle from outside.
The full day runs 11 hours. You choose between an early departure or a late one at checkout, and if you want Windsor Castle entry, that option is available on both schedules. The coach is wheelchair accessible, and the operator asks wheelchair users to contact them at least seven days ahead so they can arrange a suitable vehicle. Infants can travel in a pram or stroller, or sit on an adult's lap. The tour requires at least a moderate level of physical fitness for the walking at Stonehenge and Windsor.
Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (3 to 16 years); Infant (under 3): free.
What exactly is the inner circle access at Stonehenge?
The inner circle is the restricted area in the center of Stonehenge where most visitors are not permitted to go. On this tour, you enter that cordoned zone and walk among the giant standing stones themselves, experiencing the site up close instead of from the viewing area outside the ropes.
Can I visit Windsor Castle on this tour?
Windsor Castle entry is not included in the base tour price, but you can purchase tickets on the day of your tour if you want to go inside. The tour includes time to explore Windsor's medieval town and streets, and you can see the castle from outside regardless of whether you enter it.
What time does the tour leave London and return?
You choose between an early departure or a late departure at checkout. Both options run for 11 hours total, so the early departure returns earlier in the day and the late departure returns later in the evening.
Is the coach comfortable for a long day?
The coach is a superior model with WiFi and USB chargers so you can stay connected during the journey. It is wheelchair accessible, and the operator can arrange a suitable vehicle for wheelchair users if you contact them at least seven days before travel.
What's included in the tour price?
The tour includes entry to Stonehenge's inner circle, an expert guide, a personal audio headset, and all coach transport from London. If you book the option that includes Windsor Castle, that entry is also covered. Otherwise, castle tickets are available to buy on the day.
Do I need to be fit to do this tour?
The tour requires at least a moderate level of physical fitness because you walk around the inner circle at Stonehenge and explore Windsor's streets and town center. Infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller, and public transportation is available nearby if you need it.
