A day of magic at Stonehenge

We did the sunset tour to Stonehenge with stops at Kennet Long Barrow and Ave bury prior. Ava, the tour guide, was exceptional. Her humour and ongoing banter sprinkled with facts about the destinations made the trip. Driver Derm, was also amazing, going out of his way to ensure our safety and comfort. The stop in Avebury, which is quite small, gave us ample time to grab a bite at a haunted pub, and explore the village and its shops. Once at Stonehenge, we were taken from the visitor centre to the stones by tram (it's a LONG way. I believe if you're not on a tour, you have to walk). We were able to go inside the circle and feel their history and magic. Highly recommend if you're able to do it.

Magnificent experience. The only way to view Stonehenge.

Let's get the TL;DR out of the way: this is a spectacular tour, and I would tell anyone who wants to visit Stonehenge to 100% do an inner circle visit, and I have nothing but good things to say about our tour guide Nick and Anderson Tours. The first time I went to Stonehenge, back in 1986 when I was 12, we actually never made it there due to some train issues. This second time I wanted some guarantees. Since I wanted to actually get up close and personal with the site, there was no question that I'd do an inner circle tour, and since I'm not a morning person, it was going to be at sunset. When I saw that Anderson Tours offered a "Neolithic London" tour that was a full day including the Avebury Stone Circle and West Kennet Long Barrow and a drive-by of Silbury Hill. I was sold. There was even a 10% off coupon on their website. The meetup was a little confusing, as I had told them I wanted to be picked up closer to our hotel at the London Bridge station at 9:30 am, and the day before I got a note that said we were supposed to meet at Earl's Court at 10:30am. It was already too late in the day to hear back from them, but they replied to my 7pm WhatsApp message around 7am the next morning to confirm things and gave us the option to meet at either place. We chose Earl's Court so we could be more leisurely, and the bus was waiting for us when we arrived around 10am. Nick introduced himself and made some lovely small talk with everyone before our group of 19 headed out. After some heavy traffic accompanied by some general narration from Nick and a Starbucks/Gas Station pit stop, we made it to the Long Barrow. A short walk from the bus had us inside of and on top of the barrow, all by ourselves (though that was just lucky...it's an open site to visit), Nick gave us some background info by flashlight, and we also had a nice view of Silbury Hill (which you cannot climb). Then we headed to Avebury, where Nick gave us an excellent extended tour of the henge and stone circles before giving us an hour to walk around the little town or go to the Red Lion pub for a drink or snack. Finally we headed off to Stonehenge, about 45 minutes away, and we arrived around 5pm, about 45 minutes before our shuttle to the stone circle. Fortunately the gift shop was open beyond the final regular tours of the day, so we got our hoodies and a lovely orange mug, and then we were handed off to the Stonehenge tour guide who took us to the circle. On the bus we were split into two groups: our 19 plus Nick and our guide, and the remaining folks who numbered about the same who had presumably booked an inner circle tour directly with the Stonehenge people. We got to go in first, while the other group waited fairly far back. I'm embarrassed to say I was so blown away by the grandeur of the site that I didn't really listen as closely as I should have to the tour. We just...had the place to ourselves. With just 21 of us there were more stones than people, and we had the run of the place. I kept snapping photos with literally just my family in them. I never imagined we'd get this kind of access (still, don't touch the stones!). That said, the guide gave all sorts of info, and answered questions, and Nick helped out as well, including taking pictures as needed. Weather wasn't perfect, but it wasn't raining, and the sun popped out a few times through the clouds. After about 20-25 minutes, we switched places with the other group, and we were given a tour of the larger area beyond the circle. Then we headed back to the welcome center...total time at the henge was about an hour. The gift shop was still open. Then we took the bus back to London...about a 2-hour journey ending at Earl's Court. Magnificent day, and I can't say enough nice things about Nick and our driver. We actually randomly ran into Nick again on the street 6 days later in Shoreditch. Would love another tour from him someday.

Stonehenge Special Access Guided Evening Tour from London: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

How much does Stonehenge Special Access Guided Evening Tour from London cost?

+

Prices start at $145 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 Stonehenge Special Access Guided Evening Tour 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 Stonehenge Special Access Guided Evening Tour from London worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 81 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Stonehenge Special Access Guided Evening Tour from London?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Stonehenge Special Access Guided Evening Tour 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 Stonehenge Special Access Guided Evening Tour from London?

+

Around 28 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 Stonehenge Special Access Guided Evening Tour 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 Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. 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.
