Itinerary
Pass by: The adventure begins. Saying a temporary goodbye to beautiful Bath and heading over to your first destination of the day
The standing stones of Stonehenge are one of the grandest sites known today. Those who visit take a break from the modern world for a few moments and become transported back to a long-forgotten world, a world where spirituality, paganism, and worship defined people.
But these aren't the only stones you should marvel at. In the sweet village of Avebury, visitors come to wander amidst the largest prehistoric stone circle in the world. Mixed in among manor houses and nature, this site truly is worth a visit.
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 a quirky country house with fascinating architectural styles.
The last stop of the day is Castle Combe, often called one of the prettiest villages in England. Fans of movies like War Horse and Neil Gaiman’s Stardust may just recognize this spot, so get your camera ready.

Traveler reviews
One of the best tours we have ever had .
A full day’s tour that is evenly measured , time wise, and made so entertaining if you have Tom as your guide. Tom loves his job and has perfected the art of providing a vast amount of information about this region . He knows exactly how much information to impart and delivers it with humour and great delivery. The 16 seat , new, mini bus is comfortable and air conditioned. The windows are large and very clean. Tom was always on time and where he said he would be. Stonehenge and the Cotswold villages were great. Tom was amazing.
Our tour guide, Alan, was...
Our tour guide, Alan, was fabulous. He gave us multiple tips that enabled us to make the most of the experience. He was humorous, and we enjoyed the entire trip. We were able to see all the sites and because it was reasonably close to Bath it made it an easy day trip. I would recommend taking this tour to anyone interested in seeing Stonehenge and Avebury.
Great experience!
A great way to experience Stonehenge and the Cotswolds. Alan was great. He had several extra stories to tell us and even strayed from the path to show us extras.
Lovely English Countryside Tour
Tom was knowledgeable and kind. He gave us lots of history and told us little stories along the way. He played music that correlated to our sights.
Fantastic tour!
What an amazing experience! First of all, Daniel was a very knowledgeable person in the history of the area and what a great driver on these very narrow one-vehicle roads in many places! I felt very safe and I learned a lot!
