Visit Mysterious Stonehenge!
The World Heritage Site of Stonehenge is a comfortable taxi drive away.
Majestically crowning the Salisbury Plain, Stonehenge towers in ancient splendor.
What is Stonehenge?
Stonehenge remains surrounded by mystery as its true significance has been lost in the mists of time. Was it a temple for sun or moon worship? A healing centre, a celestial calendar, or perhaps a burial site of kings?
How did the people of the Salibury Plain carry these massive stones from so far away? How did they build this amazing structure with their rudimentary tools?
Your Stonehenge Tour
We will collect you directly from your hotel (or any place in central London that you designate). After a comfortable drive through London and across the countryside of the Salisbury Plain, you will arrive at Stonehenge.
Your driver is a trained tour guide and will share his knowledge of Stonehenge and the surrounding countryside.
Upon arrival at Stonehenge, your driver will escort you to the gate, help organise your audio tour, and provide any assistance you need for your entrance to Stonehenge.
You will have plenty of time to take photos and buy souvenirs in the well-appointed English Heritage gift shop.
Tour Price
£480 for an entire day (8 hours) of sightseeing for up to 6 people in a comfortable and luxurious Mercedes Vito taxi.
Pick-up and drop-off at any central London location is included in the tour price. Other locations may involve an extra fare.
Tour Length
You will have up to 8 hours of tour time. Plenty of time for that pub lunch, shopping, photos, whatever you choose.
Would you like to go within the stone circle?
During normal opening hours, going into the stone circle is not permitted. However, Stone Circle Access visits take place outside the normal opening times.
As you can imagine, visits to the inner stones are in high demand, your booking request must be sent to English Heritage well in advance of your proposed date.
This is a fabulous thing to do. We have walked amoung the stones several times, and each time is a life-changing event.
You must book Stone Circle Access with English Heritage. For more information and booking, please visit the English Heritage Stone Circle Access page. If you book Stone Circle Access, please let us know when you book your taxi tour with us, so that we can be sure to get you to Stonehenge on time.
Beyond Stonehenge
You will have time to explore some of the surrounding countryside. Your driver will suggest possibilities such as:
Amesbury, a village whose history extends as far back as the Iron Age. It is widely believed that the name of Amesbury derives from Ambrosius Aurelianus, who led the Romano-British resistance to Saxon invasions in the 5th century.
Salisbury, a magnificent medieval city that has it all: historic streets and alleyways, charming half-timbered buildings, traditional English eating houses and characterful shopping streets, not to mention a superb range of attractions, including the UK’s finest medieval cathedral.
Woodhenge, a Neolithic monument, dating from about 2300 BC.
Old Sarum, the mighty Iron Age hill fort where the first cathedral once stood and where the Romans, Normans, and Saxons have all left their mark.
Old Wardour Castle, where you can climb the turrets of this castle that was used in the filming of “Robin Hood Prince of Thieves”.
Avebury rivals Stonehenge as the largest, most impressive and complex prehistoric site in Britain. The pretty village of Avebury is partially encompassed by the stone circle.
Silbury Hill, the largest man-made mound in Europe was probably completed around 2400 BC. Mysterious Silbury Hill compares in height and volume to the roughly contemporary Egyptian pyramids.
Stonehenge Entrance Fees
To keep your tour cost low, we have not included Stonehenge entrance fees in your tour price.
Stonehenge entrance fees are very reasonable. However, we highly recommend that you purchase either English Heritage membership or National Trust membership beforehand, as your entrance to Stonehenge will then be free. Royal Oak (a U.S. based conservation group) members also enter free of charge. (For Stone Circle Access, as described above, English Heritage does charge an extra, but nominal, fee.)
Your membership will not only gain you free entrance to Stonehenge, but will serve you well for your entire stay in London. Both English Heritage and National Trust have properties in London:
