Private Viewing of Stonehenge including Bath and Lacock

London, United Kingdom

Book an exclusive private viewing of Stonehenge. Stepping inside the "inner circle of stones" is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Tickets are limited and each group consists of 26 (morning) or 40 (afternoon) with your own guide. With a choice of sunrise or sunset viewings, and private access to the inner circle of stones, your visit to Stonehenge is sure to be a memory you'll cherish. As an added bonus, you'll avoid the huge crowds.

Private Viewing of Stonehenge
Most visitors to Stonehenge are not allowed direct access to the stones. On this special day trip from London, you'll be invited to enter the stone circle itself, and stand beside the mysterious rocks towering above you. Your guide will unlock the secrets of this ancient UNESCO World Heritage Listed monument. Enjoy the peace, away from the crowds, as you experience Stonehenge at its atmospheric best at sunrise or sunset. Availability is strictly limited so book early, as private viewings regularly sell out and operate on selected days only. Please refer to itinerary section below for a detailed schedule.

Stonehenge sunrise tours will depart from London between 3am and 4am so you can catch the sunrise in the middle of the summer!

Lacock
Lacock is one of England's most picturesque villages, dating back to the Saxon era. The village has provided the setting for many movies and television dramas, including Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Take a walk before enjoying an early evening meal (or breakfast for sunrise departures) in the George, a vintage English pub built in 1361. Note, meals are at your own expense.

Bath
Bath is beautiful Georgian city, and also on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Its most celebrated resident is Jane Austin, and Bath was her birthplace and inspiration for several novels. You'll have time to visit Bath Abbey and the magnificent Roman Baths, or simply shop and explore. You also have the option of taking a walking tour to see where Charles Dickens lived and worked as a young man, and to sample fresh cheeses from the local dairy

Awesome trip! I can't imagine seeing Stonehenge any other way! It was truly amazing to be standing amongst those stones. Our guide, Jason, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about all of the locations we visited and gave us lots of "extra" info about the places we travelled through. Lacock was gorgeous and quaint, as promised. We had plenty of time to wander around the town before breakfast. The trip to Bath was awesome too. We also had time there to wander around and explore before our entry into the Baths. Beautiful city! The group is small on this tour which is really great - and everyone was very friendly. The tour bus was new and very comfortable. Would HIGHLY recommend this trip. Looking at Stonehenge through a fence yards away just would not have been the same.

Review by: Carol W	March 2012
The private Stonehenge tour was AWESOME! Lacock was great too, although it would have been nice to be there at a time when we could tour the abbey. Bath was entirely too rushed. I'd prefer a longer day and the ability to stay longer at either Lacock or Bath. All around, though, we had a great time.

Review by: George B	March 2012
The tour guide was very entertaining and informative.

Review by: danitg5	March 2012
Great tour... Very early start! Amazing to be among the stones up close!

Review by: Marisela S	March 2012
This was an amazing trip. Our tour guide and our bus driver were both helpful and very friendly. The trip started on time and always. We really had the chance to go into the circle long enough to take pictures but also to enjoy the place and to learn a little bit more about it. The trip to Lacock and in particular the trip to Bath was really good. Also we had enough time to meet and enjoy the place. My husband, my 4 years-old daughter and myself really enjoyed this trip. I definitely recommend it.

Review by: Ron	March 2012
Excellent tour and tour guide. A little long on the bus but worth the ride. Private showing and walking around inside Stonehenge is a must.

Review by: Lindsey S	January 2012
Stonehenge was gorgeous. Im happy to have gotten the opportunity to go early before the crowds and walk amongst the stones. I was a little dissapointed with the Lacock portion of the trip as I was hoping to see the abbey better and honestly, the food at the pub wasnt too impressive for 9pounds. Good tea though and cute atmosphere. Bath was an unbelieveable city but I didnt really like the audio tour, Id have preffered our guide to give us the explained tour of the bath house. All in all, great journey, driver and guide.. comfy new coach bus!

Review by: Joel R	December 2011
LOVED IT! David and the driver, Malcolm were fantastic, knowledgable and energetic. The coach was nice. The early morning pick up is worth a breathtaking experience.

Review by: Adam S	October 2011
Private viewing of Stonehenge was amazing. Being able to take photos of a major attraction without a hoard of other tourists in the shot was a bonus!

Review by: Lumar	October 2011
This is SO worth doing! Bath was beautiful and wish we had more time there and less time at Lacock. There was so much to see and do in Bath. The drive along the country side was lovely too and our guide was very informative. Stonehenge was amazing. It was still light when we got there and we got to spend a lot of time inside the circle. Lots of information and photo opportunities. Plus you can get right up close to the stones. Let me tell you, it is a totally different experience going inside and actually seeing them up close. There are some stones with 500 yr old carvings and markings. Very cool.

Review by: Gavin L	October 2011
Just about the highlight of our trip. Steve was an excellent guide, funny and informative. Made the whole day very enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Review by: Kenneth P	September 2011
Had a wonderful trip. Weather was good, sights were incredible and the entire tour of the British countryside was very enjoyable. The Roman architecture and engineering at Bath was unbelievable. The late lunch at The George in Lacock was very good as was the opportunity to stroll through the town, a bit. Lastly, the Stonehenge viewing was breath taking. Almost like going back 5000 years, seeing the stones, the mounds, and all the work that was done to create the site was not only wonderful; but also made you try to imagine how the stones were prepared, moved and set in place - just fantastic. Most importantly, our Tour Director - Dave and Tour driver - Malcolm were the perfect hosts. Great personalities, knowledgeable, funny and very attentive. Don't lose them!

Review by: Steven B	September 2011
We were extremely happy with the tour and the guide was very knowledgeable and very good.

Review by: Georgeina K	September 2011
The Stonehenge trip was wonderful. It was truly impressive to walk around the stones while Steve told us all about them. The whole tour was a great experience.

Review by: Ethylene R	September 2011
Our tour guide Steve was excellent , I think he knew everything under the sun. He's so funny and no dull moment.

Review by: Laura O	September 2011
I thought that doing the private viewing of stonehenge was well worth it. A neat experience to wander inside the circle of stones.

Review by: Victor Z	September 2011
This is the second time I have used Viator and have been impressed both times. This tour was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. Getting to actually walk among the Stonehenge stones...I mean right in between them...was awesome. And doing it at sunset made it all the more special. A once in a lifetime event! The pub we ate at in Lacock was outstanding. And the time we spent in Bath was just enough for us to know we will spend a few days there next time we come back. if you are going to London and want to spend a full day doing something amazing, this tour is for you. Well worth the cost.

Review by: Catherine S	September 2011
This was a very enjoyable trip. The guide provided lots of interesting information along the way. Bath and Laycock were very nice and the private viewing of Stonehenge was outstanding.

Review by: Daniel R	September 2011
Excellent!

Review by: Andrea M	September 2011
Excellent tour!!!

Review by: Pam D	August 2011
Great day. Lovely driver, excellent guide, beautiful and interesting places and a brilliant Stonehenge sunset.

Review by: Stacey L	August 2011
Stonehenge was breath taking. We could have missed Lacock. I would have rather spent longer at Bath to enjoy the whole tour of the site.

Review by: Laura U	August 2011
Fantastic trip thanks mainly to Barry and Malclom : the driver and guide extraordinaire!

Review by: Jay C	August 2011
Excellent guide and this is a must if you want unforgettable photos, experience and a good day out.

Review by: Paul D E	August 2011
Had to get a taxi L20 to get to tour pick up hotel as not where we were staying and tube not running until 5:45 a.m. but once there, pick up and guide everything was great. Only 25 on bus, great going early, no one except guard there._br/_ Getting inside the stones is great. Well worth the early time. No crowds, no heat, great photos. Breakfast was changed to Salisbury McDonalds as nothing else was open that day but got to see Salisbury Cathedral as an extra. Need 1 1/2 hr to go through Roman baths with audio guide still much to see in Bath city. Only 2 hrs total. Needed more time to see Bath itself and to have lunch. On to Lacock, very old but some may well have spent more time in Bath and skipped Lacock. Driver and guide both highly recommended.

Review by: Rhonda C	August 2011
It was great, as with most tours, wish I had more time - but a great reason to come back!

Review by: Svetlana B	August 2011
Fantastic tour!Outstanding,friendly,witty,smart,informative guide Paul!_br/_ Highly recommended!_br/_ Do yourself a favor a book yourself the tour that allows you to go between the stones before or after hours._br/_ Lacock and Bath are amazing places to visit - so go ahead book it and enjoy!

Review by: Vincent S	August 2011
Our guide (David) was very gracious and extremely knowledgeable regarding British History. The private viewing is definately a very special event! Worth the extra for the chance to stand among the stones.

Review by: Carla S	August 2011
We are independent travelers who typically don't use a travel service. We were extremely pleased with the knowledge and professionalism of our guide who adeptly dealt with a couple who were late for a rendevous. _br/_ I highly recommend a private tour for Stonehenge to get to the inner circle without crowds. Great photo ops. _br/_ Lacock was quaint but I would have preferred spending more time in Bath instead of a sit down breakfast. I rushed thru the tour and had limited shopping time. Never got to the cathedral or nearby grounds.

Review by: David L	August 2011
Fantastic! Our outstanding guide Paul was able to enlighten us to facts about Stonhenge, Bath, and Laycock that we would not otherwise have known. His expert knowledge and sense of humour were definite highlights on the trip where we had just the right balance of guidance and freedom to enjoy the places we'd come to see. Also thanks to our driver Phil for keeping us safe. At the end of the day trip we had only wished we had had more time at each spot. I expect that will require a return trip to these historic and inspiring places.

Review by: Adan C	August 2011
Great tour guide, and a great combination of sights.

Review by: Jessica M	August 2011
This trip was fantastic, the tour guide and bus driver were great fun and really informative, and going inside the stone circle was a real treat. I would definitely recommend this tour, and would do it again myself

Review by: Julie E	August 2011
Absolutely loved it. Yes it was busy , however that was to be expected ! Our tour guide was fantastic, a great history lesson.

Review by: Michael N	August 2011
We loved the trip and the places we visited...especially being able to go into the circle around Stone Hedge. Lacock was a quaint village and Georges Inn provided a nice English dinner too.

Review by: Susan	August 2011
Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Bath is beautiful and Lacock was a fantastic surprise. A great day to be ended with a close up view of Stonehenge at sunset. Lovely.

Review by: Thomas L	August 2011
The trip was excellent. Tour guide was humorous and knowledgeable. Seeing Stonehenge with 26 people and walking among the stones at sunset was a special experience. Premium Tours and Viator were very accomodating when our plane was delayed 24 hours and we weren't sure we could make the pickup. They gave us options of the latest pickup closest to Heathrow and allowed us to bring our luggage. Because of the uncertainty of our arrival, we could not connect with the London native we had booked the trip with. We received a refund for that ticket which we greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend the tour and Viator.

Review by: solo1	August 2011
Whilst we spend a lot of time on the bus it was well worth the effort. The inner circle visit is a must.

Review by: Farah M	July 2011
Had a wonderful time! There is very limited time in Bath and Lacock - but I had expected as much. However, I felt that we had a good amount of time at Stonehenge which was the main reason for me taking the tour. Being able to actually walk around the stones and get right up to them was amazing and well worth the money for me. Steve was our tour guide and he was fantastic! I think that he really made the day - he was friendly, enthusiastic, funny and had a great knowledge, not only of the places we visited but also the areas we were driving through. If you can request a specific guide - choose him! So glad I did this tour!

Review by: Amy	July 2011
Other than the fact we were drenched and cold this was worth every extra penny to be able to actually be inside of Stonehenge and touch the mystisisim(my own word). Lacock was a wonderful little add on and the place we ate was an excellant example of Local food and drink. Bath was a bit crowded and once you were through with the Baths tour you really didn't have much time to see the surrounding area. I would definantly go back to Bath for further exploration.

Review by: A L	July 2011
The experience of entering the inner ring of the stones is not to be missed. Our guide was knowledgeable and quite entertaining. But he should be told that politics especially personal politics should not be part of a general tour.

Review by: Marc R, United States of America	June 2010
FAB-U-LOUS ---- if you are going to go to Stonehenge -- pay the extra money for this trip. The tour of the baths was much more that I expected

Review by: Bradley C, United States of America	June 2010
Weactually had our trip rescheduled to June because of the "volcano" and went to Stonehenge in the evening. It was to beautiful for words. Being only one of 50 people to stand inside the inner circle and just feel the uniqueness of the stones and hear the stories of the building of these stones, terrific. On our way there, stopping in Bath also was impressive. It was a long day but well worth it. Would do it again and wished for more time.

Review by: April T, United States of America	June 2010
This was an opportunity of a lifetime and we genuinely enjoyed the experience! We have already recommended it to friends who are headed to England and who want a similar experience. We've told them to book through VIATOR!!!

Review by: Miriam B, United States of America	June 2010
Loved Stonehenge--plenty of time at the site. Lacock was nice, but could have been an hour less--with more time in Bath.

Review by: Donald K, United States of America	June 2010
Once in a lifetime experience. Just before sunset, no crowds, quiet & magical. The highlight of our trip!

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	June 2010
Great guide and excellent trip!

Review by: Joann A, United States of America	June 2010
This was such a memorable experience for me and my husband. The Roman baths were just amazing, Lacock was such a beautiful and historical town, and Stonehenge... what a treat! To have the entire place to ourselves and to be able to cross the ropes and get up close and personal with the stones is something we will never forget. It was a gorgeous clear night so the sunset was perfect. Our tour guide Steve, I hope that everyone is lucky enough to have him! He is just superb. I feel in love with the city of London because of all the beauty he was able to point out. He told and showed us tons of historical information during the tour which made one really appreciate what we were experiencing and looking at. We would do this tour again and recommend it to anyone.

Review by: Dana E, United States of America	June 2010
Our tour guide was excellent! I wish they allowed at least a snack on the bus. It's hard to go from 10am until 5pm without eating. There is a comfort stop thankfully because there's no bathroomtoilet on the bus. Anyway, I took this for the Stonehenge private tour - there's no other way to do Stonehenge!

Review by: Susan A, Canada	June 2010
took our 2 young adult sons on this tour. fantastic!! they both considered this one of the best days on our trip. it was great to be able to enter the stonehenge circle. lots of great pictures. highly recomend this tour.

Review by: Mary M, United States of America	June 2010
This is by far one of the best tours I have ever taken. Every moment was incredible. Steve, the guide, was so knowledgeable and truly seems to love what he does. I signed up for this tour to go in the inner circle of Stonehenge, which was awesome. The trip to Lacock was a huge bonus. This tour was worth every penny!
