“There's not a whole lot you can mess up with a visit to Stonehenge, but ours was vastly improved by our bus driver Armando, with his humorous and off the cuff patter as we drove to the site. He pointed out places old and new, both historical and cultural, and was more than a bus driver. Definitely an enjoyable trip!”

“Today was an Amazing day held by leader Nick, a great one at that !

Nick was informative, assuring, and had a sense of humour which helped divert some of the groups nerves into excitement. A definite revisit for the future !!”

Private Stonehenge tour from Bath with guide Daniel Hancock, hotel pickup, private transport, entrance tickets, and time to explore independently.
“Our tour to Stone Henge with Daniel Hancock was excellent! We had two adults and a 5-year old in our group, and we all had a fantastic time. Daniel was very knowledgeable and the experience was engaging and fun. We started with the history of the area in the museum portion of the site, and spent a good amount of time exploring the site itself and getting some lovely photos. Daniel also had solid recommendations for things to see and do around Bath, which were recommendations we followed and enjoyed. Thanks, Daniel!”

“our bikes broke down, even though they were new. needed to be picked up by one of the tour guides. felt as we were patronized as we were doing so good for our age. I ride 50 miles a week on the streets without an E bike and swim 3 times a week. Wife also rides almost daily and felt the same way. Strangely he was only a few years younger than my wife”

“What an amazing tour. Simon picked us up at the hotel and took us to Stonehenge. He shared stories of the country side. My wife is a huge history nut and he and Simon had a great conversation talking about history and TV shows that was filmed in the area. His knowledge of Stonehenge was very interesting and kept my 11 year old daughter amused. He was very easy going for the tour and even stopped at a small village on the drive home for a quick walking tour.”
