Stop At: Stonehenge, Amesbury SP4 7DE England

Travel back over 5,000 years time to prehistoric Britain and explore the ancient ruins of the world's preeminent Neolithic monument. Enjoy 2.5 hours to explore the site at your own pace as you step inside the reconstructed Neolithic houses, furnished with replica axes, pottery and other functional items. Inside the world-class visitor exhibition centre, come face-to-face with a 5,500-year-old man and discover over 250 archaeological objects on display, including jewellery and even human remains.

Admire the impressive megaliths of the ancient Stone Circle, some of which stand over 9 metres (30 feet) tall and weigh more than 25 tons. Along the landscape of the Salisbury Plain, you'll see hundreds of barrows that stretch as far as the eye can see. Find out why these barrows exist, and answer other important questions along the way such as 'who made Stonehenge' and 'how was Stonehenge built'.

The bus ride was enjoyable with the driver playing a dvd about the history of Stonehenge, very informative. Plenty of time to come walk around the huge rock. Nice visitor center, exhibition, gift shop and cafe. Plenty of time to do it all b

Stonehenge is a fascinating day trip. I enjoyed the bus ride and the self guided half day tour. Due to the summer crowds the traffic was heavy. We were late arriving which only gave us 2 hours. Not quite enough time to view the additional constructed ancient village at the gift shop or the art gallery. Due to the crowds at the gift shop and cafe we were not able to enjoy the extra options of shopping or eating at the cafe. Although busy Stonehenge was easy to view and enjoy.

This tour delivered exactly as promised. I was looking for something that wouldn't take up a full day away from London and that would also allow a bit of an "average" pace to tour Stonehenge. Meeting at the starting point was straight forward. Representative from tour company did a bit of an intro, checked our tickets before eventually getting off the bus. The bus driver (Paul) was fantastic - entertained us with some facts and humour leaving London and then ensured we were all ready with our cameras when approaching Stonehenge. No issues with tickets, audio guides - all was flawless. We did have almost a full two and a half hours at Stonehenge, plenty of time to walk around the stones and also time at the visitor centre, shop, and cafe. Recommend taking the shuttle bus to/from the stones to save time. Arriving back in London, Paul provide a bit more commentary as we drove to our stops (there were two you could get off at), which wrapped up pretty much right on time. Highly recommend!

The bus didn't leave on time and there's slight problem on the entrance tickets. Other then that it's ok

The allotted time, once we got to Stonehenge, was ridiculous. 1 hour is nowhere enough time to take the bus to and from the stones and see everything. I wasn't the only one upset, either.

A guided tour would have been better.
