Itinerary
No one knows why the druids created this landmark. But we do know it's bigger and older than Stonehenge.
After lunch, we travel deep into rural Wiltshire to Lacock village, famous for its picturesque streets, historic buildings, and role as a television and film location. The Abbey in the heart of the village has its own woodland grounds, and is a quirky country house with fascinating architectural styles. Free time either to wander around Lacock or visit the Abbey (some of Harry Potter was filmed in the beautiful cloisters of this ancient abbey).
Our final stop of the day is at the ancient Roman Spa town of Bath. This city has been inhabited for around 2,000 years. There’s Roman baths, Georgian architecture, and a gorgeous abbey to see. It’s a fascinating town to explore, so we give you plenty of time to wander around at your own pace before you return to London in the early evening.

Traveler reviews
Avebury Henge
Would have liked more time in Avebury to walk the stones and add a map of the paths. More time I Lothian with a walking map. Less time in the bigger city of Bath.
Overall Great!
It was a comfortable ride, great tour guides who were greatly informed about the area. Every stop was beautiful and worth it. Two issues: Sound system needs improvement. I couldn’t make out a lot of what guide was saying over the PA system. Muffled. Hard to hear exactly what was said. It was also a bit hard to find the starting spot (I gave myself a lot of extra time to find it, which I’d recommend). Lastly, there was no toilet to use when we returned to London after a 3 plus hour ride from Bath. That was rough! Had to sprint across the street and locate toilet in Victoria Station. Just be aware of that!
Great, but not enough time to explore Bath.
Our guide/driver was terrific. The only thing that detracted from the experience was how little time we actually had in Bath. Once we arrived, we pretty much had to choose between eating and seeing as much of the town as we had hoped and expected to. We could've lived without the stop at Lacock. We would much rather have spent the time we could have saved by not going there, in Bath. We realize that the tube strike on the day we went slowed things down, but Lacock did not offer much despite it being a quaint hamlet.
A variety of experiences
Well worth the time and cost. There was much to see and learn. Our guide was very good as well.
Good tour (meetup directions aside)
The sites are completely self directed, which is fine, but different frkm several of the other tours The directions on the meetup spot from Viator were wrong and we nearly missed the tour. I'd advise that you double check via message about the pickup spot for the tour.
