There were tremendous lineups to go to the stones by bus so we decided to walk as they said 25 minutes. It wasn't even that close for a 71 year old and with the heat at 29C. So glad the bus back was only a 15 minute wait.

Great trip! Driver gave us interesting info on the way out of London and we had the perfect amt of time at Stonehenge. Easy trip w two kids.
Thomas_S, Jun 2026
Tour bus driver did a nice tour of London on the way to and from Stonehenge, even though it was not a guided tour.
Cait_D, Jun 2026
There are likely better ways to get there. This did the job but it was cramped and the screens were useless. The commentary may as well not have been given it was mostly notes on traffic and a few obvious observations. Stonehenge though is certainly worth seeing and this wasnât very expensive. It is nothing but transport but it works.
Elitsa_B, Jun 2026
This was such a comfortable and easy trip! Regie, our driver, had fantastic commentary on Londonâs history and infrastructure. He was funny and explained everything very well! Once we got to Stonehenge it was pretty straight forward how to get the shuttle to the stones. There were no long ques, or delays, shuttles were running almost every minute. Overall a great city break! Highly recommend!
Christina_C, Jun 2026
Was a lovely driver , and Stonehenge âŁď¸ was awe inspiring would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting the area !!!
Vijay_N, Jun 2026
Ideal time for a quick trip. Must see in the vicinity of London. Would have loved the option to stay back for an extended visit. 2 hours at the site is too short, particularly when the weather is good.
Denise_C, May 2026
Our bus driver was warm funny and well-informed. I enjoyed this trip,
and I suggest everyone bring layers.đ
Rajiv_D, May 2026
Travel details , instructions for pickup were clear and accurate
Tour driver was professional and courteous and the ride was smooth
The tour is excellent and well worth the time and money
David_F, Apr 2026
Bus stop 8 is hard to find. More specific directions should be provided like nearest underground stop and a street address.
David_D, Apr 2026
Our driver was fun and accommodating. The time at Stonehenge was just enough to snap some pictures and visit the shop.
Tom_A, Apr 2026
The full amount of time is not enough to learn about the Stonehenge. Also, afternoon could be better than the early morning crowds from all over.
Julianne_L, Apr 2026
Great Stonehenge tour with Golden Tours! My daughter and I had a fantastic time. Comfortable bus, plus water and snacks included. Our driver was kind and professional.
We hit traffic due to an accident, so our time was slightly shorterâbut still about 90 minutes, which was plenty. Itâs about a 3-hour ride, so bring motion sickness meds if you need them!
Well organized, smooth experienceâIâd definitely book again.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your lovely review! Weâre delighted to hear you and your daughter had a great experience on our Stonehenge tour and enjoyed the comfort, refreshments, and professionalism of our driver. We appreciate your understanding about the traffic delay and are glad you still had ample time at the site. Weâre happy to hear the tour felt wellâorganized and smooth, and weâd be thrilled to welcome you again!

Our guide, Kiran, was informative and entertaining. He was a delight and shared info about London as well as Stonehenge.
People who tend to run late should be aware that the coach leaves promptly at 8:30. The directions are simple and arriving there via public transportation is a breeze.
Annemarie_G, Mar 2026
The coach was comfortable, snack pack was sufficient and Kiran our driver/tour guide from Golden Coach Tours was amazing!
I have used Viator for many tours in multiple countries and never disappointed!

Lncushing, Feb 2026
This tour was good, but I felt their could be more information about Stonehenge, or the area we were driving through while on the bus. We were a captive audience for 2 hours each way! Our bus was completely full, so it was quite squishy. We arrived 10 minutes ahead of time, and got the last available seats
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your feedback! Weâre glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciate your suggestions. Weâll work on providing more information during the drive to enhance the experience. Weâre sorry the bus felt crowded and that seating was limited, and weâll review this to improve comfort for future guests. Your input is truly valuable to us.
Syl_V, Jan 2026
Our driver was great. He was clear about the plan and added extra info as we moved through London which was great.
Debora_A, Nov 2025
We were in awe to be in the presence of such ancient and well preserved monument. Thank you for making it accessible for us.
Janice_R, Oct 2025
Stonehenge was great. I was surprised at one point in the walking trail you could be rather close and see the detail in the stones. Well worth going.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your wonderful review! Weâre delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Stonehenge and appreciated being able to see the details of the stones up close. Itâs fantastic that you found the experience well worth it, and we hope to welcome you on another memorable tour soon!
Kenneth_P, Oct 2025
Worked perfectly for my schedule. Easy to find the bus, casual travel on the roadway and plenty of time (2 hours) to see Stonehenge. The time was almost exactly 6 hours which I needed for my schedule.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your feedback! Weâre delighted to hear that the tour fit perfectly with your schedule and that you enjoyed your visit to Stonehenge. Itâs wonderful to know the timing and travel experience met your expectations. We truly appreciate your review and hope to welcome you on another Golden Tours adventure soon!

It was a nice bus ride and Stonehenge was very interesting but Iâm not a big fan of the political commentary from the driver or some of the other occupants of the bus concerning President Trump
Ramon_F, Oct 2025
We are loyal Viator customers, so it pains me to write a not so glowing review.
I know itâs my fault, so I am not looking for any refund or anything. I just want to make you aware that I was confused about the meeting place. We were waiting at 8 Buckingham Palace Road instead of Bus Stop 8 Buckingham Palace Road.
We ended up purchasing rail tickets, a cab ride, and admission tickets to Stonehenge. Ergo, we had to pay another 250 Sterling Pounds for what was already a pre-paid tour.
Like I said, it was my fault. However, when we finally met up with the tour group, I explained to the Driver/Tour Guide Ashley what happened, and he said another passenger almost missed the tour because of a similar misreading of the meeting place. Ashley handled the situation like a real professional and let us back in the coach for the return trip to London.
I would like to thank not only Ashley but the entire UK population for their kindness and guidance, thus enabling us to check off an enormous entry in our bucket list. Everyone really saved the day for usâŚ
âŚThen, it rained in Wiltshire.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Weâre so glad to hear that Ashley was able to assist you and help turn the situation aroundâitâs wonderful to know his professionalism made such a difference. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the meeting point and will ensure we continue to make it as clear as possible for future guests. Itâs great to hear that, despite the initial mix-up, you were able to enjoy your visit to Stonehenge and check it off your bucket list!
Yan_F, Oct 2025
I expected a little narration but none came. But most importantly, the driver didnât speak good English so most passengers didnât understand him. That said, Stonehenge was great!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your review. Weâre glad to hear you enjoyed visiting Stonehenge! We would like to clarify that the half-day Stonehenge tour is a non-guided tour, so narration is not included during the bus journey. We sincerely apologize for any difficulties caused by the language barrier with the driver and appreciate your understanding. Your feedback is very valuable, and we will continue working to improve the experience for all our guests.
Thanya_D, Sep 2025
Highly enjoyed the tour to the site. It was comfortable, and they explained each step to us. The weather is unpredictable, but regardless, we enjoyed ourselves at Stonehedge. One thing is they ask if anyone has allergies because theyâre providing a lunch but once I showed up, they didnât have anything for people that cannot have gluten. So maybe they should specify that even though the app is asking, it doesnât matter because theyâre not going to accommodate.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! Weâre really glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and felt comfortable throughout â even with the unpredictable weather at Stonehenge. We also appreciate you pointing out the issue with lunch options. Thatâs really helpful feedback, and weâll keep it in mind as we look for ways to make sure all our guests feel taken care of.
Susan_S, Sep 2025
The fun facts the drivers told us on the way there were roughly 90% about rich peoples houses we were passing. Nothing historic. And the tour specifically mentions that it will end in the same place it starts - so we had planned our afternoon accordingly, and it did not. When i asked the driver about it he said that information is out of date and did not apologize for give any further information. It still ended back in london, but we had to hop on the underground to get back to where we were supposed to be. Poorly executed in that regard, but Stonehenge itself was great.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience. Weâre glad to hear that you enjoyed visiting Stonehenge itself, as it is indeed a remarkable site. We sincerely apologize for the issues with the tour information and the inconvenience caused by the change in the drop-off location. We understand how important accurate details are for planning your day, and itâs disappointing that this was not communicated clearly. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the commentary on the journey. While the driver aimed to provide interesting facts, we understand your expectation was for more historical context, and we will take this into consideration for future tours to ensure a better balance between local insights and historical information. Your comments help us improve both communication and the overall experience for all guests. Thank you again for taking the time to share, and we hope to provide a smoother, more accurate experience in the future.

The bus was comfortable and we had plenty of time to walk completely around Stonehenge and take pictures.
Response from Host, Aug 2025

We had a nice time and the transport was very efficient. It was nice to be able to charge your phone in route.

You are paying for a bus ride to Stonehenge, nothing more than that.
The irony of it all is that they advise that youâll be traveling in an air conditioned coach but you donât. Imagine sitting on a bus for 2+ hours, packed like sardines, with hot air blowing on you.
I knew we would be packed in like sardines but at least have some decency and maintain your coaches so that the air conditioner works, especially if you advise it.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for the discomfort you encountered during the journey, especially regarding the air conditioning. Your feedback is important, and weâll be addressing this issue with our coach providers to ensure better comfort for future guests. We appreciate your honesty and hope to improve your next experience with us.
James_C, Jul 2025
Picked up and left exactly when (and where), it was expected to. There was no real conversation at all between the driver and the people on the tour at all during the 2 hour ride up to Stonehenge. The âsnackâ, was a cheese sandwich with relish, a bottle of water and an oat bar. The time spent at Stonehenge was generous (more than enough time actually). The whole trip was fine-2 stops on the way back either Gloucester or Victoria (where we were picked up). Would have liked to hear more from the driver-this tour has no guide-the audio guide could not be downloaded until you were actually at Stonehenge, because there was no wi-fi on the coach.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Weâre pleased the pick-up and Stonehenge visit timings met your expectations, and appreciate your note on the snack and generous site time. We apologise for the lack of on-coach commentary and the audio guide download inconvenience; weâre reviewing ways to improve live guidance and onboard connectivity. Your insights help us enhance the experience, and we hope to welcome you again.
