Six months later, still the day we talk about

Michele_L, May 2026

Our half-day Stonehenge tour with Simon was the high point of our family's trip to the UK, and six months later it's still what we come back to when we talk about the trip. That's saying something, because we spent real time in London and traveled elsewhere in the country. Simon picked us up at our hotel in Bath and set the tone immediately. He treated us as guests in his country rather than passengers on a route. What followed wasn't a lecture but a day of learning through immersion. He moved across history, myth and fact, current scientific developments around the site, literary connections, and popular culture, and he kept it engaging without performing. He read the four of us quickly (my husband and I, plus our two adult children in their twenties) and shaped the day around what we were actually interested in. He asked us questions and answered ours, and he pointed out things in the countryside we would have driven past. The vehicle was clean and well-appointed, and the small group size made real conversation possible. Small-group tours cost more. I had done my research before booking and it was worth every additional pound. Stonehenge had been on my husband's bucket list for years, and by the time we left we had learned more about the site and the surrounding area than any of us expected, past and present, the kind of detail you can only get from someone who has firsthand experience. Simon also made recommendations throughout the day for places to visit and things to read, and every one of them has held up. They've extended my reading and given me threads to pull on long after the trip ended. I've been on many tours, including several trips through Europe with students and different tour companies, and this one stood apart. Simon works with a small group of guides who treat this as a craft rather than a job, and it shows in every part of the day. I rarely write reviews, but if you're heading to the UK and Stonehenge is on your list, book this one.

Absolutely Amazing Tour!

Abigail_K, May 2025

This was easily the most enjoyable tour experience I have ever had the pleasure of taking! We were able to have a private tour with Roland, a local retired history teacher, who was the most kind, informational, and capable host. He provided a wealth of knowledge and was very happy to answer our many questions. We learned so much about the area, both the city and surrounding countryside, on the way to Stonehenge and of course about Stonehenge itself. We were given some time on our own to explore and shop as well. Roland was incredibly considerate, giving us recommendations for the rest of our journey and even dropped us off at our next destination when we were short on time. Cannot recommend enough!

Fabulous tour

Rebekah_K, Apr 2024

Our guide Max was fabulous! Very knowledgeable about things along the drive as well as Stonehenge. It was a best do!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hi Rebekah, Thank you so much for the review! I really enjoyed your company and wide-ranging conversation and am so glad you enjoyed our time together too. I hope the rest of your trip was as fun and perhaps you'll back some day? Warmest regards, Max

Amazing Tour

Greg_N, Mar 2024

What an amazing tour. Simon picked us up at the hotel and took us to Stonehenge. He shared stories of the country side. My wife is a huge history nut and he and Simon had a great conversation talking about history and TV shows that was filmed in the area. His knowledge of Stonehenge was very interesting and kept my 11 year old daughter amused. He was very easy going for the tour and even stopped at a small village on the drive home for a quick walking tour.
