Itinerary
Visit Stonehenge
Embark on a guided tour of Stonehenge, an awe-inspiring testament to prehistoric Britain and experience this famous place in person. The iconic Stone Circle continues to evoke a sense of wonder, and our tour will reveal some of its many mysteries and leave you with a deeper appreciation of this extraordinary place.
Discover the inspiration behind Stonehenge’s construction and hear the latest insights into the Stone Age people who built this monument. At the visitor centre, experience a projected timelapse that puts you ‘inside’ Stonehenge to imagine how it once stood when complete.
Visit Avebury
Lesser known Avebury is the world’s largest Stone Circle and now fringes upon a pretty mediaeval village, which sprung up around it. Wander freely through these giant stones and let your imagination run free. This site has a completely different look and layout to Stonehenge and this private guided Avebury tour has an exclusive feel. Incredibly, this place is still something of a hidden secret from mass tourism.
Visit West Kennet Long Barrow
West Kennet Long Barrow predates both Avebury and Stonehenge and is just another impressive part of this timeless prehistoric landscape. Enter the tomb and explore its 5 chambers that once contained the remains of 50 people!
See Silbury Hill
Silbury Hill is the largest artificial mound in Britain and its purpose still remains unknown. This mysterious chalk mound is roughly the same height and volume as the Egyptian pyramids, built at roughly the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Incredibly, it’s quicker to buy them on arrival at Stonehenge. The line for On The Day tickets is usually far shorter than the Pre Booked (yes, you still have to join a line). Don’t worry – tickets never sell out at Stonehenge.
-
These are two enormously contrasting prehistoric sites and visitor experiences. The size, accessibility, setting and visitor numbers are nothing alike.
-
We recommend visiting Stonehenge with us Bath – the drive is much shorter and quicker. Galahad Tours does not operate from London. Simply jump on the direct train from London Paddington to Bath Spa.
-
You will walk closely around the outside of Stonehenge with your private guide, who will answer all the burning questions about this extraordinary place. We do not offer inner circle, aka ‘Stone Circle Experience’ tours because these require either a dawn pick-up (4-5am) or late return (10pm) to Bath.
-
There are restrooms at the Stonehenge and Avebury Visitor Centres. You can also take a comfort break during our lunch stop.
-
No – Salisbury is the closest and that’s a 30 minute drive by taxi or bus from Stonehenge. The best way to get there is by renting a private guide or renting a car and driving there yourself.
-
Choose from any of our Stonehenge tours and you won’t be disappointed. We believe that the best way to experience Stonehenge is with a private guide so that you not only see Stonehenge but get the full story and context to bring the visit to life. Galahad Tours does this like no-one else.
