Stonehenge tours from London: options and formats
Half-day coach runs with Stonehenge admission
The short format we describe is a return trip from London to Salisbury Plain with admission to Stonehenge included, lasting 6 to 7 hours on the tours we describe. Most add the Visitor Centre exhibition too; on several, commentary at the monument plays from an audio guide you download yourself.
How long you stay on Salisbury Plain separates these half days. A coach transfer of about 7 hours allows more than two hours on site and is sold in German, English, Spanish and Italian. A morning departure of about 6.5 hours comes with a skip-the-line ticket to the circle and air-conditioned transport, rated 4.7 out of 5.
Who rides with you to Wiltshire varies as well. One half-day coach carries a Guest Services Assistant; "Sit back and relax as you drive through Salisbury Plain", its listing notes, with an audio guide in 10 languages waiting at the stones. An English-language half day of about 6 hours rides a luxury coach with free Wi-Fi and promises an extended visit.
Long days with Windsor Castle and Bath
The long format treats Stonehenge as one stop of an 11-hour day that takes in Windsor Castle and Bath as well. Admission works differently here: the entries depend on the option you buy, so check what yours covers.
Guiding differs between these Windsor and Bath combinations. One of them, guided and with entry to the Windsor Castle State Apartments, scores 4.5 out of 5.
