Stonehedge and Towns.
It was nice to travel in a small group but van/bus was a bit uncomfortable. I felt rushed throughout the entire trip.

An authentic England
A truly complete and nice tour! The guide was very helpful, speaking clearly and understandably so that we could grasp everything! He told us a lot about the villages we visited and many other curiosities about all the stops we made. At Stonehenge, there is the option to download an audio guide in your own language that accompanied us throughout the visit to the monument. Highly recommended
