You’ve got to see Stonehenge at least once in your life! - Our guide Mikhael was knowledgeable and funny. We had a blast seeing Avebury and Stonehenge. Unfortunately the long barrows were flooded (and had been for months) so please inquire directly with the tour operator if that’s high up on your list. Otherwise it was a great time and the bus was comfortable,

Great tour lots of history and beautiful scenery - Brendan was an excellent guide and a superb driver. We left right on time. He pointed out lots of good stuff along the way. I really enjoyed his guided tour of Avebury: just enough nerdy history to show he loved the topic. We felt well cared for during the whole trip. I would definitely ride with him again!

A great history tour with local flavor (er flavour) - Loved it! Felt like walking in the steps of history. Brendan was an excellent guide. Just nerdy enough that you felt like you got a history lesson from someone who loved the topic. Plenty of dad jokes along the way. Super safe driver.

Michel is great! Sacred sites are great to see on this tour. - Michel was a great guide! He was clear about expectations, gave lots of interesting historical context for the towns we went through on the way which I appreciated and also provided a mystical experience at one of the sacred sites! I won’t give it away for future travelers :). I would highly recommend him as a guide, and a great driver as well. Will say the buses are cramped for tall people. Very happy with our experience!

A Magical Experience! See what the aliens have wrought! - My husband and I enjoyed this tour immensely. Our guide, Michel, was knowledgable and entertaining! At each site, we had plenty of time to explore on our own. The sites were truly awe inspiring, magical! We chose to have lunch at the Red Lion in Avebury and the food was excellent. We highly recommend this experience!

Great experience. Would book with Anderson Tours again. - Awesome experience and tour guide Michel was extremely knowledgeable and made the trip even better. We also went to Silbury Hill which wasn't on the tour but quite the site to see.

Avebury and Stonehenge by small group--wonderful! - This small-bus full-day tour was everything I had hoped for. I'd just taken an ancient art history class and had yearned to revisit Avebury since 1988, when I saw a small part of it with no historical background. Here, we got a bigger picture beyond the henge, first a dip inside the Kennet Long Barrow (with a mini-conjuring session by our guide), and stroll with a view of nearby inscrutable Silbury Hill. We had a quality hour or so in the town of Avebury to walk among the stones and henge and sheep. Our affable, very hard working guide reminded us that the circles were white and high back in the day, not soft smooth grassy knolls. I wished I'd had time to stop at the lovely pub in town. Our man drove us past later sites where a version of Avebury was made out of wood, and wound us past lots of towns with thatched buildings. The countryside on a pleasantly warm June day was lovely, grasses swaying, red wildflowers blooming, no wonder the English love to walk. I also enjoyed the trip to Stonehenge, miraculously not swamped with tourists, so I could try to imagine the processions held there in the sweeping fields, the nearby autoroute a reminder of today's less mysterious pilgrimages. This was a long day on the road, with a nice break stop at the beginning to grab some food and use the loo. On the return, our guide/driver navigated thick traffic with equanimity and occasionally sharing anecdotes about the musician's life and London and the English and various interesting stories. I enjoyed the whole day, and as I nodded off a few miles outside London felt more grateful for our shepherd's diligence. He deserved a standing ovation plus tips (and I hope double wages for playing two roles). This was months ago and now I can't remember the gentleman's name, but he is a tall rock musician with an easy demeanor and gently wry sense of humor, who can also herd cats (us tourists). This trip was a highlight of my week in London. I recommend it to those who want a more personal, uncrowded visit to these ancients sites. I hope Anderson continues to offer the route--it's the only one combining these sites as far as I could tell, and I would consider going again.
