What Can I Expect

Get away from the capital and into the ancient Gloucestershire countryside on a Stonehenge coach tour! This excursion from London includes travel by executive coach to Stonehenge, before heading onwards to Bath.

It's an early start from Victoria Coach station for your tour, but arriving at Stonehenge in the morning gives you a wonderful lift. Those famous tall stones are classed as one of the Wonders of the World and you will indeed by wondering how they were built, by whom, when and what for.

And what's amazing is that, to be honest, no-one is really sure! Some say it's a sort of huge calendar, a temple to the sun, an observatory on the moon, a cemetery or perhaps even a healing centre. Whatever the prehistoric people used Stonehenge for, there's no denying the rather inspirational feeling of energy they hold.

You'll be dropped off at the visitor centre for a wander around the permanent and temporary exhibitions. You'll then hop on the Stonehenge shuttle coach that'll take you on the 10 minute journey to the stones. If you're feeling active you can get off the bus halfway and continue your tour on foot.

It's worth noting that because this incredible site needs careful management to preserve those 40-ton rocks, you can't get right up to the stones these days. That is why the guided shuttle tour is highly recommended and you'll learn loads about the Salisbury Plain.

After Stonehenge your coach tour continues to the very quaint Georgian town of Bath. You'll have plenty of free time here, so you can wander the cobbled streets, check out the famous crescents and pop into the lovely boutiques and cafes of Bath.

The Romans loved it here and turned the country's only natural hot water spring into a decadent spa. Choose the Roman Baths voucher to include entrance to the impressive Roman Baths in the centre of town.

Your Stonehenge coach tour and bath trip comes to end when you step off the coach in London at around 19:30. The perfect day for culture vultures!
