Tour of Stonehenge and Avebury - Our guide, Sebastiano was so pleasant and knowledgeable about the area and the sites we visited. And he shared his passion for Wiltshire with us. I had seen Stonehenge and Avebury before without a guide. It was wonderful to gain the extra insight from our tour guide.

Fantastic tour and guide - A fantastic tour. Our guide Sebastian was the absolute best! He is extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and gracious. This tour is a great way to experience the major Neolithic and Bronze Age sites in the area in one day. Highly recommended.

Must see. - The "developments" around Stonehenge are reducing the experience by making actual contact difficult. But it is still amazing.
West Kennet Long Barrow is a good trip, well worth the visit (if you like this sort of thing).

Memorable day exploring Neolithic Wiltshire! - Seeing some of the neolithic sites of Wiltshire was on our bucket list but we were on a very tight schedule so Geoff's excellent tour was just the ticket. And we saw them all! The weather wasn't our friend that day but it didn't stop us from having a wonderful time, comfortable ride, good company, flexible schedule, great pub lunch and a fabulous tour of the area. Geoff is a delightful guide, It is obvious that he knows his stuff and is passionate about his subject. He gave a very comprehensive introduction to Stonehenge and the other sites and the afternoon just flew by. I would do more touring with Geoff anytime and can only encourage others to take a tour too!

Ask for Seb - This day was one of the best (perhaps The Best) day of our 3-week trip to Great Britain and Ireland. Our tour guide, Seb, was knowledgeable, patient, thorough, considerate, and a very pleasant person with whom to spend the day. He covered everything that we had asked for in a concise and informative way. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in Neolithic and/or Medieval history who might be visiting Salisbury. If we are ever fortunate enough to return to this lovely city, we will definitely arrange one or more days with Seb as guide.

Stonehenge and Avebury - I have visited 2 of these sites, and I can't even express how profoundly they affected me. If you are into ancient monuments, Stonehenge and Avebury are must-sees. I will never forget the way I felt being there. I actually first saw them in the early 2000s. I have always yearned to go back.
