I should get paid for this Review. First of all, Pauly in no doubt the BEST Host and speaker. Tremendous knowledge and interest in StoneHenge!! John is the Best bus driver and both guys help with pics along the way. These guys are the SuperHero Duo!! We are so glad we did the Windsor/StoneHenge trip as it was Spectacular!!!

This was by far one of the best, unique, and enjoyable experience I’ve ever had. Being able to actually stand inside the stones was surreal. Our guide Pauly was incredibly knowledgeable and really enhanced the entire experience!!! I feel grateful for this expetience.

Amazing Stonehenge Tour

Heather_L, Jul 2025
This tour was wonderful. It started in Windsor, and we had an open top bus tour planned, but unfortunately the president of France decided to make his state visit there that day, so the bus was cancelled. Our tour guide made the most of it though and did a mini walking tour pointing out a few things and where to eat. The absolute best part though was being able to go into the inner circle at Stonehenge. It was amazing. It was after the main visitors were gone, so our small group had the whole site to ourselves. We were able to get pictures with no one at the stones, then we had a very decent amount of time to go into the stone circle. It is worth the extra cost to go into the circle rather than just see them from the outer path. Our tour guide Pauly and driver Reggie were amazing. Pauly was clearly very knowledgeable and fun to listen to. The driver was able to navigate around an accident between Windsor and Stonehenge so it didn't cost us too much time. I highly recommend this tour.

Stonehenge worth it

Lisa_O, Jun 2025
Stonehenge was completely worth it all. We chose wrong at Windsor and did the bus tour of the village which I do not recommend. Robotic, and you barely saw anything as they cruised by it fast and really told us very little. I couldn’t wait to get off. It was horrible, I wouldn’t even do it if it was free. Tour guide (Ralphy) and driver (John) were great! I will say the tour company never responded to two messages ahead of time so don’t expect much until you show up. I’m giving the full stars to the tour guide, driver and Stonehenge experience but Windsor open bus tour would get a 0 and the tour company itself would get a 3.

Stonehenge from the Inside- the Only Proper Way!

Brad_F, Apr 2025
Windsor was a nice stop. You have options as to how you spend your time which was good. Stonehenge is the crown jewel of the tour. Can’t imagine how disappointing it would be to only see Stonehenge from the outside looking in. Spend a little extra and do it the proper way! The tour company guide was much more knowledgeable than the English Heritage guide.

Do this your!!!

SaraC_R, Sep 2024
There are many wonderful things to say about this tour! The weather was perfect which made the experience that much better!! Our guide, Pauley, was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Our driver, Armando, was terrific. Also, both of them knew a lot about the history of Stonehenge. We did the inner circle tour. I would only recommend that tour as a way to see this historical site. Of the world historical sites, Stonehenge rates right up there with the best.

A drive through history!

John_C, Sep 2024
The Bath & Stonehenge tour was truly memorable. Pauly our guide and Slim, our driver are true professionals. Pauly's stories were informative and fun. I would highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted that you had a memorable time on the Bath & Stonehenge tour. Pauly and Slim will be thrilled to hear your kind words. It’s great to know that Pauly’s stories made the experience both informative and fun! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you on another tour soon.

Once in a lifetime opportunity!

Sarah_B, Jun 2024
Absolutely amazing experience! To walk barefoot in Stonehenge was a once in a lifetime experience. Eye small group size. Totally worth the money- highly recommend! Pauly and Mario were fantastic. If you get them and hear those names, just know you’re in for a real treat.

Not to be missed.

Lisa_S, Jun 2024
Incredible tour all around. Bath was lovely and Stonehenge is not to be missed. Our tour guide Pauley and driver Loucian we’re paramount in making the tour so enjoyable.

Great tour!

Margiecurtis, May 2024
Pauly the guide and Nathan the driver were both exceptional. Pauly was extremely knowledgeable and personable.

Amazing day at Bath and Stonehenge

Kerri_S, May 2024
Fantastic day trip to Bath and Stonehenge. The bus was clean and spacious for the 13 people on the tour that day. Visit to Bath, although a little long, was enjoyable. Walking tour was great. The meal at Brown’s was delicious. Plenty of free time to explore further. The drive from Bath to Stonehenge took about an hour through beautiful countryside. We only had about 5 minutes at the shop before we needed to depart for our inner circle experience and it was closed afterwards. The time at stones was amazing with a beautiful sunset. Definitely worth taking this trip.

A great tour to two very interesting sites

Elaine_B, May 2024
This tour visits two fascinating places. Paulie Was an excellent tour guide and gave us all kinds of valuable suggestions. For example, as we approached Bath, he encouraged us all to go online and book our timed entry to the Roman bath exhibit, Which saved a great deal of time and streamlined the process. Everything was very well organized, which made for a very pleasant day.

Great time at Bath and Stonehenge

ebricks, Apr 2024
Excellent trip! Pauly and Armando were the best! Bath was very quaint and enjoyed the time we spend there. The meal was best I had during my stay in England. Stonehenge was amazing! So happy we decided to go with tour of the inner circle. We were in small group which was perfect! I would purchase this tour again!

Worth it!

Alexander_L, Apr 2024
Such a privilege walking through Stonehenge at sunset! An eerie, beautiful, and mystical experience! Our tour guide, Stefan, was hilarious and engaging. Our driver, Ki, gave us a smooth, comfortable ride there and back. Bath was fun to walk through but the highlight was definitely exploring Stonehenge. The park guide Alyssa who brought us to the inner circle was so knowledgeable and fun as well. Would highly recommend the experience to anyone!

Be Part of the Inner Circle

Christopher_J, Mar 2024
I was travelling with my Niece and we booked this tour as a part of her first trip to London. This particular tour was for a larger group (max of 53). We expected a larger group but the listing didn't state exactly how many people. That being said, overall this was a great experience. The stop in Bath wasn't really part of our original plan and happened as part of the tour booking but was a happy addition. My niece really loved it there as did I. There was a meal included as part of the tour but we skipped that to grab sandwiches and eat in one of the parks and enjoy the views. Stonehenge was rainy but amazing. The inner circle access is the way to go for sure and I was actually surprised we were the only group there. I was expecting other tours or other tour buses, but it was just our group as the last tour of the day. We got some great pics and had about an hour to walk around and explore the stones. The guide and bus driver were great along the way and provided a lot of history both driving out of London and at the various sites/stops. The bus ride was actually nice and was great to get out of the city for a little bit and see more of the English countryside. Very cool experience and would definitely recommend. This definitely books up quickly and we got lucky with some last minute tour cancellations. If you are coming during peak times, book it WELL in advance!

Awesome Inner Circle tour!

Dena_W, Mar 2024
We loved this tour! Pablo and Edward were great! Enjoyed wandering around Bath and LOVED the inner circle access at Stonehenge :)

Inner circle!!

Kestutis_B, Mar 2024
Being "surrounded by the stones" was amazing. The guide and driver were great. The only problem during this trip was our lunch in Bath: the dessert was served so late that half of the group left without it. It's not a big issue, though, because the trip was to see THE STONES.

Do it if you can!!!

Sherie_S, Oct 2023
If it’s on your bucket list to get as close as possible do it!!! Great tour, wonderful guide, lovely dinner and experience. So glad I did this!!!

More impressive than I imaged

Sharleen_N, Oct 2023
I am glad that I paid the extra and chose this tour as it allowed you to walk among the stones. Well worth the extra if you can afford it. Be prepared for a very long bus ride though 😔, but we’ll worth it.

Stonehenge up close and personal

Kimberly_F, Sep 2023
We were so excited to see Stonehenge and this experience did not disappoint. I have always wanted to not just see stonehenge from a distance bit to be able to be among the stones and this trip allowed me to do just that. I got to stand in the middle and see the stones up close and got detailed history and information about the stones. Was worth the money spent just for the inner circle Stonehenge experience, but we also got a short time in Bath with a delicious 2-course meal included in the excursion price as well.

Way cool

Scott_M, Sep 2023
Interesting that Christopher Wren had written on one of the stones and came from the area. The fact that we got to walk around the stones when everyone else there that did not do THIS tour had to see it behind a fence was super cool.

Absolutely worth it.

Sean_S, Sep 2023
Bath was nice enough , but Stonehenge was the main reason for going and the experience was everything I'd hopes it would be.

Excellent tour

Elsa_K, Sep 2023
Probably the best tour I have ever taken! Tom was an amazing tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and very funny. Chris was our guide inside the Stonehenge Inner Circle, he shared his expertise about Stonehenge and his passion about archeology.

Once in a life time experience

Grace_C, Sep 2023
The tour guide was very knowledgeable; she provided some cultural background of England that added another layer of depth for our trip.

Inner circle at Stonehenge best part of tour

David_B, Aug 2023
Being in inner circle of Stonehenge was fantastic. Well worth the cost. Bath was almost a disappointment as we contacted tour company prior to trip asking what time we should book for Roman Bath and we're told we would only be in Bath for an hour and it would all be guided tour. We were actually there 2 1/2 hours and guided portion lasted 15 minutes. Tickets on line were sold out but luckily when we went to ticket counter they had 2 tickets available. But again, the inner circle is the only way to see Stonehenge.

Bath and Stone Henge review

Michael_S, Aug 2023
The tour guide Eileen was great. Really enjoyed NuNu the driver as well. The after hours tour of Stone Henge is an absolute highlight of our trip 5/5. The time in Bath was 4/5. It is a charming city but it was very crowded and hard to hear Eileen for a large part of the tour (50 people in our group) and unfortunately we couldn’t get tickets in to the Roman baths. They should be included in the tour or more notice should be provided to attendees that they need to be booked way in advance. Also, the food at dinner, while included, was not the best. I enjoy an onion and cheese tart instead. Highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a nice day trip out of London.

Perfect Day!

Anonymous, Jul 2023
Great day! Pablo was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and funny as well. Kirri, our driver, was the sweetest and most personable driver that I have ever seen. They were a great team! Enjoyed our tour of bath and lunch. Stonehenge was amazing and nice to be there with just our group and not packed with people.

DOLLY is excellent!! The tour exceeded our expectations!!
