We actually missed out on the experience. If you book this, take into consideration delays if traveling by the Underground, this is how we missed our booking. The Tube stopped for minutes several times, we missed our bus by 9 minutes.
What can’t we say about Armando!
Very polite, gentlemanly, and quick witted as well as very informative. His driving was extremely safe. The coach was very clean and his voice was clear as day (just like the weather) on our way to see Stonehenge.
Viator set reasonable prices, please don’t be late and miss this experience.
It’s easy to give him a 5 star review.
A wonderful day tour. Long bus drive but all worth it. The place has, cafe, toilets, shop.......
...........
Tour was great
driver was kind, friendly and very communicative. He made sure we had our entrance tickets and knew exactly what time we needed to be back at the bus to return
The stonehenge experience itself is amazing
It was worth visiting. It is just as iconic as the pictures show it, but the spirit of the place is only felt there.
Appreciate the tour moving my ticket date after the marathon changed our primary tour’s plans.
The bus ride was fine. The ticket taker lady (hostess?) was a zero star. She spoke zero. We got on when she moved aside to have access to bus door and handed out wrist bands. Drive was decent. Arrived Stonehenge, unloaded bus, received a Stonehenge wristband and we were on our own to figure out what the heck to do next and when to be back to bus. We would have spent another 15 minutes at Center had we known the definitive time to be back on board. She vanished once we were off the bus. She needs some Customer Service skills training!
The driver of our coach made this trip an absolute dream. He was knowledgeable and articulate in pointing out the places of interest on our way out of London on the way to Stonehenge. The trip itself was superb. The only disappointment was in myself who did not have cash to leave this perfect tour guide a tip....always remember to have a small amount of cash for the good guys.
The coach ride was very nice and the seats reclined so we could nap since we’d just flown across the ocean only hours before.
Stonehenge was a bucket list item and was cool to see with our own eyes.
This was a great tour. Plenty of time at Stonehenge but short enough to not be too much for someone who is elderly.
We loved seeing Stonehenge but regret not getting the headset and having the audio tour. It rained for the two hour ride. When we arrived we asked our driver about ponchos and he said he did not have any. About 30 minutes later we saw a grocery getting off another bus run by Golden Tours and they had on ponchos that said Golden Tours on the back.
I went into this trip with the awareness that the coach driver would likely not be providing any sort of commentary so, when there wasn't one, I wasn't surprised. With that said, Golden Tours provided the bus/Coach to the Stonehenge parking lot for the visitor's center. From there, you take a shuttle or walk the 1.5 miles to Stonehenge. The shuttles ran regularly. I had time to ride the shuttle to Stonehenge, walk around the path that circles the stones, walk back to the visitor's center, and visit the gift shop. Also, had a cheese and onion pasty from the cafe. Delicious! This was a mid September visit.
you will be well looked after, If you are lucky enough
to fet Amando as your driver here will share some history about London and stonehenge. Higly recommended

Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
Ride was comfortable - sadly the Stonehenge closed an hour early and some of the older people missed the last bus to the site and missed seeing it all Together - better
Communication of special events or Early closure should be communicated to the drivers and choices given for a lifetime event.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you found the coach journey comfortable. We understand how disappointing it must have been for those who were unable to fully experience Stonehenge due to the early closure.
Attractions can occasionally adjust operating hours due to special events or operational requirements, and we appreciate your comments regarding communication. We will share your feedback with the relevant team as we continue to improve the guest experience. Thank you for travelling with us
The bus ride was smooth. The driver was polite, professional and provided the necessary information to navigate the tour.
The travel agency location was somewhat difficult to find but found it with the help of an Uber driver.

Wonderful experience! Kiran, our guide was very knowledgeable and shared so much information on the way to and from Stonehenge. Not just about the location but all of London. Plenty of time at Stonehenge, would not have needed more unless planning to hike around the landscape. Would definitely recommend!

This excursion was definitely a great value for the money. There was ample time to explore Stonehenge.
Firstly, we only had about 1 3/4 hrs ant the site, and We spent the majority of that time waiting in line for the shuttle buses. Secondly, The “tour guide” didn’t even tell me the time to return to the bus - I had to ask one of the other passengers I found in line. Neither did she say where we’d find the bus, because it was not parked where we were dropped off. Thirdly, The details of the tour said they’d provide a drink and snack, which they did not. And lastly, I was personally told we’d return to Doubletree by Hilton Kensington area, when In fact we were dropped off at the exact spot where we were picked up, near Doubletree by Hilton Victoria. This small detail impacted all the plans I made for after the tour. Overall, I was just Very very disappointed. I expected to be dropped off at the site, not at the end of the 40-min line to get the shuttle bus.
This is not a tour. It is only a bus ride and transportation to and from Stonehenge. Our driver did not give us any commentary on the way there or back. We booked the premium tickets, which includes seating in the front of the bus and lunch. But, they gave us lunch at the start of the trip and then had us stare at it for two hours because they wouldn’t let us eat on the bus. By the time we arrived, it was about 3pm. Then the driver recommended we cut short our time looking at Stonehenge to eat lunch at the cafe. By then, it would been at 4:30. That’s not lunch; it’s nearly dinner. Don’t order lunch if you would like to eat it at a reasonable time. If you’re looking for transportation only, then this is fine.
It's a great place for adults and history geeks, but children under the age of 10 will be bored and overwhelmed. There's different stations to read and educate yourself.
This tour is an easy and efficient way to visit Stonehenge. All tickets and bus passes are included. The bus was comfortable and the bagged lunch wasn’t bad!
The only problem was the bus driver spoke broken English so I couldn’t understand much of what he was saying on the bus ride over and back.
We had a fantastic time on the Stonehenge half-day tour! Our tour guide and driver were extremely knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts and pointing out important landmarks along the way. The bus ride was safe, smooth, and very comfortable. Overall, it was a well-organized trip and a great experience. Thank you!
The air conditioning wasn't working properly on the tour bus. The Driver "Marti" (pardon spelling) was very nice.
The bus driver we had did not tell us anything about any sites we were seeing on the way to Stonehenge. Basically, hello. Rules to follow and goodbye.
Rob the tour guide was amazing ! I appreciated his organization during the trip and helpfulness.
I enjoyed very much his enthusiasm for English History & Stonehenge and more importantly his humor which made the tour even more interesting.
Very long day. Only cold liquids and no food allowed on the bus. We were on the tour for 7 or so hours. Luckily there was a cafe at Stonehenge. There is no shade at the venue and there is a wait/line to get on the shuttle to and from Stonehenge.
The bus is air conditioned.
Exactly how it was described - transportation and tickets to Stonehenge. No frills but just what I was looking for. They were very timely and organized and gave us sufficient time to see the whole site!
Very good advice from our driver Kiran - very informative on the journey there and back from London. Be aware though, if you book through Viator on an iPhone, the pickup /drop off locations on your tickets are NOT accurate. Be sure to arrive early and make sure you have the correct location - we almost didn’t make it once we discovered the incorrect info.
There wasn't much to it other than a bus ride to the park, then a shuttle bus to the site. There was very little narrative from either driver. Also, the weather was terrible the day we went; cold, rainy, and windy. That's no fault of Viator's obviously, just be prepared. Which we were, but we still didn't stay as long as we would have liked. Also, this is another tour that was changed on us. There was supposed to be a snack included and for some unknown reason, it got changed on us. When we got to the bus the driver explained that it was only for those who reserved the front rows of the bus. My question is, what did I pay for then? I wasn't offered any sort of refund when my reservation was changed. So far Viator is 0 and 2 for changing up my reservation on me.
I think my expectations were a bit high. The coach driver was amazing, he really knows london and pointed out some great things. For Stone Henge itself... you get there, have to get another bus to the sight, cant get close to Stones, just walk around, back to Visitor centre which is very interesting. There was no tour guide for Stone Henge, i was glad i watched a documentary about it, because you were just left to your own devices. Not being able to get close to tge stones, i couldnt get a feel for it. Also we were not dropped back to where we got the bus in London. I found that really annoying.
