Enjoy 2.5 hours to explore the site at your own pace as you step inside the reconstructed Neolithic houses, furnished with replica axes, pottery and other functional items.

Extra Time was Barely Enough! - It was wonderful! I made sure I purchased the extra time option and it was definitely worth it! Even with the extra time I barely got back to the bus before we left!
I took the walking path to the stones, but there is a shuttle. Trust me the walk is worth it! The landscape is breathtaking, and there are sheep! I hope you dont mind the sheep droppings. There was traffic on the way back, but that is not the teams fault. However, I definitely recommend not scheduling any reservations for immediately after returning. Make sure you schedule to allow for a hour or two delay just to be safe.

Eye opening to Stonehenge! - You get what they offer. A comfortable ride to & from Stonehenge. Our driver was skilled & very considerate. He kept us informed of our route with updates. The guide was very helpful with getting on board, getting off at Stonehenge & what to know to self-guide ourselves through the heritage site. He was very pleasant & helpful. Stonehenge, itself, is awesome. We are all a speck of sand in this universe!

I would really have liked... - I would really have liked to have had a guide to talk to us on the bus about what we might be seeing along the way and some information about Stonehenge before we got there.

Stonehenge half day tour - Really comfortable journey, and the air conditioning was very much appreciated in the middle of a heatwave! The free Wi-Fi was fast enough for the basics, such as WhatsApp and Facebook. I was also able to charge my phone on the way back, using the USB port.
The driver was excellent at navigating both the London traffic and the busy motorways. Evan Evans was easy to find at Victoria Coach Station, I was ridiculously early—just in case! If you do arrive early, there are plenty of coffee shops and toilets, plus a Sainsburys just a short walk outside the coach station.
I also really appreciated the staff checking people in. They noticed when people tried to queue-jump by stepping in front of me (something that happens far too often when travelling solo) and, just before opening the doors, asked everyone to line up behind me. A small thing, but it made a big difference!
Stonehenge itself is well worth a visit. Two hours was plenty of time to see the stones, browse the gift shop and grab something from the café. Overall, a really enjoyable and well-organised trip.

Some improvement needed - Know that the trip back will take longer because of traffic in London. However, the bus assistant needs to wait until ALL the passengers are gathered together before giving instructions and speak LOUDLY. We were towards the back and could hear nothing. Had to fond someone in the area to direct ys

Historic must see - The bus boarded orderly and left on time. However, the Wi-Fi didn’t work and only one type of charger could be used, making for long trips to and from.
The self guided audio tour was very helpful and informative, but it appeared this free app could be available for anyone.
It was pricey, but this historical site is a must see if given the opportunity.

We enjoyed our trip to... - We enjoyed our trip to Stonehenge a lot. It was a great way to get to the site without having to navigate a rental or other means of transportation. The two hours on site was plenty of time to take the shuttles to the rocks and still grab lunch at the cafe. Our only concerns were that 1. the checkin at the bus station was hard to find at first, disorganized, and a little hectic, and 2. the seats in the bus were uncomfortable as the bus was probably not designed for such a long ride. Other than that, everything went smoothly and we'd recommend others to use this service.

No time! - It is a long way to go and for us we had very bad traffic. The traffic resulted in us arriving late, reducing the time had at Stonehenge. We had to rush to make it to the bus in time to get back to England. We felt the time at Stonehenge should not have been reduced.

Meh… - Instructions on where to find tour operator would have been helpful ahead of time, we were ok as we got to the station early. Host and driver were very friendly. Bus was nice, new and cool on a very hot day but very very uncomfortable seats - I know how that sounds, I was not expecting a lazy boy, but the seats were hard as a rock which killed my back on the two hour ride there and two hour ride back. I feel like this was an expensive tour for a bus ride as this is not a guided tour (you can download an app that tells you a bit about Stonehenge) took a whole of 10 minutes to walk around Stonehenge and that was it. I wouldn’t necessarily deter you from the trip but we aware that you get a bus ride there and back (no bathroom) and enter to Stonehenge - that’s it!
