Excellent - My friend and I went to the Summer soltice sunset tour for Stonehenge. Steve, the guide and Tyrone the driver were absolutely amazing. The tour was very informative, fun and right on schedule. It was perfectly organized with 2 stops prior to Stonehenge. The timing was perfect and went exactly as described. Steve and Tyrone worked extremely hard the whole day to be sure all went off without a glich. Their hard work is appreciated. The web site was overwhelming and not that easy to use however, there are too many tours listed similar info and it was difficult to sort out

Excellent experience and guides who go above and beyond - We had an absolutely incredible experience visiting Stonehenge for the Summer Solstice. The tour also took us to Avebury, which was really special, and a medieval town for dinner. Our guide Steve and our driver Tyrone went above and beyond to make sure our group had an amazing experience. I will never forget this trip!

Spiritual Stonehenge. - Absolutely won’t experience. The mist and low clouds at 4.00 o’clock in the morning surrounding Stonehenge was giving an eerie, mystical and spiritual feeling. The changing colours of Stonehenge as the sun rose was amazing along with the sound of drums and chanting, made it worthwhile going without sleep. Would definitely recommend visiting Stonehenge for the summer solstice.

Lifetime dream come true - Went first the sunset tour April 12 2023 with Peter as our guide. This was an experience of a lifetime and worth every cent. The weather was awful but we were dressed for it and got an hour in the inner circle. Thanks Peter for your knowledgeable and entertaining banter! The Bath and Lacock parts were nice too but I was there for Stonehenge and was totally satisfied 😌

Not bad. - The event was well arranged, it was just too short a stay at Stonehenge after watching the sunrise and should have left us some time. Because it takes 30 minutes to walk from Stonehenge to the car park.

Very poorly organized - You would think going with a tour bus they would know that getting into Stonehenge would be difficult on the summer solstice and/or have an arrangement to get their tourists in safely and effectively. None of that happened. We were late, and cutting it close to almost missing sundown. Everyone got off the bus and had to walk for two hours just to get to the stones to only be there for 20min before we had to leave. That was not the plan or what was promised. Very disappointing.

POORLY ORGANIZED - I would start by saying our tour guide and driver were wonderful and its a shame they were put in this situation.This was a highly rated tour and I wanted to love it.Instead it was hurried, the food at was inedible and were given about 10 minutes to eat.Once finally arriving to the Stonehenge entrance,it was obvious we weren't going to see the sunset if we didn't get out and RUNNNN.and thats what almost everyone resorted to on our tour.I booked with this company bc it was well regarded and Im glad we did have some stops before Stonehenge but man,it was simply ridiculous what everyone went through here.

Diabolical - Terrible trip, poorly organized, I am telling you to refund me. The coach got lost, we were late, we had to provide directions to Avebury, the toilet broke and stunk up the entire downstairs for hours making us feel sick, Steve the ‘guide’ got so many basic historical facts wrong, he constantly talked and repeated himself, his joke about the pigs was unacceptable as there were veggies and vegans on board, he made us late for arriving at Stonehenge and if it wasn’t for Tyronne’s smart driving, we would have missed it all together. I want my money back in full please

horrible - On Tuesday 19th of July at 8:15 we were in the bus and arrived at Stonehenge at about 10-11 am. The driver told us to get all our belongings from the bus because another driver was supposed to pick us up at 2 pm (the driver said that). The driver left with the bus. By the way it was +38 degrees outside. At 2 pm we came to the parking with the whole group we arrived with - around 15 people. We came to the Premium tour bus but the driver (another one) said he was waiting for his group and would go back to London only at 3-45 pm. So, no other buses arrived. We were waiting for another group from 2 pm to 3-45. It was unbelievably hot. We missed the musical that we planned to go to after the tour. And we could call to anyone because the line was always busy
