London to Stonehenge Independent Return Trip Including Entry
London, United Kingdom
Visit Stonehenge without a guide and explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site at your own pace on the London to Stonehenge Independent Trip. If you are looking for great value for money and a hassle-free afternoon to see one of the world’s biggest attractions on your own, simply collect your Stonehenge tickets with the complimentary audio-guide, and get exploring!
Head out of London on board your air-conditioned coach, and prepare to be greeted by the ancient enigma of Stonehenge. This fascinating stone circle has sat in the same spot on Salisbury plain for more than 5,000 years, yet nobody really knows why it is there or how it was constructed! It’s one of the most well-known sites in the world, and you can take your time, admiring it at your own pace on this independent afternoon trip from London.
Speculation about its purpose ranges from religious worship to studying the stars, so make sure you listen to your complimentary audio-guide to hear the different theories. See the beautiful Bluestone rocks on the inside of the circle, and wonder at how these 40-ton stones could have been transported and who could have carved them in such a distinctive way.
Make up your own mind on the mysteries surrounding Stonehenge, as you walk around the stone circle perimeter and marvel at this feat of engineering. You will have approximately one hour to spend at this UNESCO World Heritage Site, so make sure you bring your camera – you’ll have plenty of time to get shots from all angels.
Major confusion at Victoria station, no staff available to give info on departure.All info was provided via the audioguide on arrival.

The bus didn't leave on time and there's slight problem on the entrance tickets. Other then that it's ok

If you are not looking to spend an entire day trip just to admire the famous rocks in a field, this is the perfect tour! For many, just seeing Stonehenge is on the bucket list and this tour is as quick as it could possibly be, given the two hour drive to the site. Plenty of time to see the stones and learn about their origin as well as grabbing some food, visiting the gift shop and seeing the exhibit. Our driver was entertaining and we were back in London in time to do some late afternoon sightseeing. Perfect!

It was a great tour, the driver was entertaining. Wish we had had another hour at Stonehedge itself._br/_ But, it was a first great look at Stonehedge.

The allotted time, once we got to Stonehenge, was ridiculous. 1 hour is nowhere enough time to take the bus to and from the stones and see everything. I wasn't the only one upset, either.

A guided tour would have been better.

What an experience. I really enjoyed Stonehenge. It was so fascinating. If you want a quick tour to experience the stones and not spend the whole day, this is your tour. There was enough time to go through the entire audio tour and visit the small exhibitions too. We also had time to get a quick snack. Our driver was great and informative. He gave us a little bit of history on our way back too. The only downfall was that there were no more audio guides when we got there, which I read happened to a lot of others in their reviews. However, if you go down by the bathrooms, you can buy a very inexpensive audio guide before boarding the shuttle to the stones. It was about 3 pounds so we got two. I was really happy with this tour. After, there was plenty of time to still go out at night in London, which was important for us to not spent the whole day visiting just one place.

It was fine. Viator delivered but I was just not that impressed with Stonehenge. However I am certainly in the minority. It was 2.5 hours on a bus one way for less than an hour at the stones. Not for me.

The time allowed at the monument was too short. We had to wait for another shuttle to take us to the monument once we arrived at the main area, which was almost 45 minutes of our time. An extra 30 minutes would and #39;ve gone a long way!

This was a fantastic way to see Stonehenge and not have to worry about driving or standing in line for tickets. We loved it. We found that we needed more time - we spent so much time with the stones that we didn't get a chance to shop or eat, but most everyone else seemed to have plenty of time and were on the bus ready to leave. Well worth the money.

The stay at Stonehenge needed more time. Getting a little over an hour to get in line for the shuttle, spend any real time looking at singage and stones, getting back in line for shuttle back, just isn and #39;t much time. Let alone time to try and hit the restroom.

This was a nice . interesting but very fast experience. It's nice to go there but you mast have at least one more hour for the visit._br/_ Overall it was a fast and superficial visit but if you don't have more time to spare its good enough.

worth the money that you're paying.

The bus driver was terrible. When we arrived, he pointed to Stonehenge and told us to get on a shuttle and then told us what time to meet back at the bus. As people were getting off of the bus, some walked to the right and some walked to the left. I asked him what was to the right and he replied, the restrooms. So, we walked to the left and over to the audio guides. There was a charge. We explained that we were with the tour and showed our paperwork. We were told that those audio guides were to have been picked up when we got off the bus. We were to have walked to our right where the restrooms were and picked up our audio guide next to that But the shuttle was coming and we wanted plenty of time at the stones and gift shop. Some people on the shuttle also had not been told where to pick up their audio guide and found a Stonehenge app. But, I was unable to get a good enough signal to download the app. So we walked around Stonehenge without the audio guide. Obviously it is important or it wouldn't be offered. This was a bucket list trip, as I imagine it is for many. The stones were awesome and I am very happy that I went. I had read about the stones before the tour and read more while in the gift shop and on the web after returning to our hotel. This is not my first Viator tour and the others have been five star tours.

I had difficulty deciding on how to rate the tour since we actually ended up on the Stonehenge Bath tour since this tour to Stonehenge only was cancelled and they gave us an upgrade to the Stonehenge Bath tour for no additional cost. As far as I know the Stonehenge portion was exactly the same as we would have had. The upgraded tour was an about 3.5 hours longer to include travel time to Bath and time exploring Bath. The guide provided excellent commentary while driving through London from the pickup location to the highway, and on the return helped everyone choose the appropriate drop off locations and bus stops / tube stations.

Fantastic!!
Review by: Katherine C, June 2016
This package is great. Easy access to the bus with the help of google maps. Bus driver was nice to give us a little information about London, also had some time to nap on the bus. At stonehenge, it was a do-it-yourself kind of tour. Overall great tour.
Review by: Allison T, July 2015
This trip was great. We were picked up at a convenient location just off Trafalgar Square and taken directly to Stonehenge. We could then explore for about an hour and forty five minutes, which was plenty of time. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone!
Review by: Amelia M, June 2015
We booked the night before and showed up to the location in the morning. We were on the list and everything went great! Bus driver was funny and Stonehenge did not disappoint! We loved that it didn't take all day and just had the afternoon out. Must do for anyone interested in going
