What you'll see and do
Stonehenge
Your day begins with a visit to one of the most mysterious sites on Earth, that prehistoric and world-famous stone monument known as Stonehenge. The landscape is peppered with burial chambers and stone circles, each one thousands of years old and shrouded in mysteries, but Stonehenge rises above them all. Located on Salisbury Plain and keeping its 5,000 years of history quite secret, Stonehenge has been described as everything from an astronomical clock to a place of worship or burial. Your guide will explain what is known today and reveal the theories that have been debated for centuries. Ponder these theories as you walk around the stones and admire the scenic views.

Glastonbury Abbey
Your tour continues to the small town of Glastonbury, supposed home of the mysterious isle of Avalon, the place where King Arthur’s sword was forged, according to legend. It was here, after the Battle of Camlann, that a mortally wounded King Arthur died. Stop for a photo of the famous Glastonbury Tor and view the ruins of St Michael's church. Continue into town to visit Glastonbury Abbey, the site of Arthur’s and Queen Guinevere's graves, before enjoying some free time in the town of Glastonbury for lunch in a quaint cafe, browse a quirky local shop, or make the walk up Glastonbury Tor.
120 minutes here · Admission included
Avebury Stone Circle
We end the day at the massive stone circles at Avebury, with its village of thatched cottages ringed by huge standing stones hauled into place by Neolithic worshippers thousands of years ago. After a guided walk and free time, you'll begin your journey back to London.

Disappointed
We had so looked forward to this. We had been promised two hours in glastonbury, including eating lunch. When we got there, we were told we only had one hour leaving us to get lunch to go and eat on the bus. Avebury, we had one hour also, no time to wander amongst the stones. The drive from glastonbury to avebury was terrifying, flying through little windy villages, and at least two very close calls.

Great fun and small group!
I was so excited to take my husband on this tour, which I first did in 2003. I loved the small group setting and how flexible Toby was with us. I booked this tour because of the opportunity to see two stone circles and walk up to the Tor.

Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Avebury
We had the most incredible experience with Viator traveling to these amazing sites. Our tour guide, Nick, was the most knowledgeable, friendly, and caring guide that I have ever had. His vast, historical guidance and attention to every need was unparalleled. Our driver, Magde, delivered us to each location efficiently and safely. It was a truly inspiring and unforgettable experience thanks to these gentlemen. It will stay with us for a lifetime.

Arthur tour
Great tour so many first time experiences!!!

Great day tour with Toby and Adam
Was a fantastic trip, if you are a fan of history, archeology, myth and legend. We took the took because we wanted to see Stonehenge, but are also huge Arthurian Legend fans— this was a great, thoughtful informative tour— with Toby really looking out for the group— care for mild modifications made to make the crew happy, lots of information and local color throughout the trip. Time was as expected, the drive was quick and a great coach, and while I wish we has more tome in Glastonbury, we saw 3 major locations in 1 day— not their fault. Thoughtful for families— a small group. Very much recommended!!

Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Avebury from London: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Avebury from London cost?
+
Prices start at £166 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Avebury from London take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Avebury from London worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 106 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Avebury from London?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Avebury from London suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Avebury from London?
+
Around 37 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Avebury from London start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Avebury from London?
+
Included: Travel by executive mini-coach; Photo stop at Glastonbury Tor; Entry to Avebury Stone Circle; Entry to Stonehenge; and Entry to Glastonbury Abbey. Not included: Gratuities; Food and drinks; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Avebury from London?
+
Outside Gloucester Road Tube station, meet at the station exit. Please ensure you arrive at the meeting point at least 10 minutes prior to the pick up time. This tour will depart at 07.30am. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Avebury from London offered in?
+

+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and Avebury from London if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
