Visit Stonehenge The complete guide to Stonehenge

We are often asked about the various options on combination tours that include other notable attractions or scenic areas and of these what is the best tour? In particular, tours that are departing from London.

The question is not that simple and requires a more detailed consideration regarding budget, time, time spent at a given attraction, travel time, the experience (Inner Circle access) and those who pack in as much as they can in a short UK visit.
As a summary, we look at each of these in turn.

Budget and Value Tours - Low-Cost Tours
Direct to Stonehenge tours from London (Victoria Coach Station)
Most of the tour operators will offer this as it includes transport, normally free wifi on the coach, entrance prepaid for at Stonehenge with an audio guide on location. Morning and Afternoon options are running seven days a week.
Verdict - A popular choice the morning option allows you to be back in London at around 2.00 PM or take a leisurely breakfast for the Afternoon visit.

Value/Lowcost Tours
These may appear at first glance to be appealing as they are at a lower cost. However, they do not include entrance fees. We do not recommend these. As an example, a recent observation by a visitor decided to buy a Roman Baths entrance and spent all the allotted time queuing to get in.

Combined Tours

The most popular and frequently selected tours you must remember that these will need an early start and there will be time spent on the coach between locations on tour. Also, note that there will be a restricted time at each of the locations and for this reason, it may be better to select a combined tour that has fewer attraction visits. A good balance would be -
