I recently did a tour of Stonehenge and Bath with this company. It was my first time seeing these sights, and while they were amazing, our tour guide was completely useless. She was unapproachable and unwelcoming, even pushing people off the bus if they held up our departure time by even a few minutes. We heard her talking at the... More

Pat Shelley conducts a great "up close" tour of Stonehenge- one of the best I've been on. We did the early morning special access and even though we had to rise very early -05:00!- it was quite worth it. Pat is well informed and presents the history in a concise and interesting way. He has been, himself active in some... More

Pat was fantastic and really brought the Stonehenge experience to life with his great stories and deep knowledge. We would definitely recommend his tour as you have access to into the inner circle at a quiet time - which is the best way to appreciate the monument and also because you're not just looking at some stones and mounds of...

Pat is an outstanding tour guide! This was a very in depth tour, and I learned a lot of details about Stonehenge's history and about the structure itself. This tour also gave us access into the inner circle, which is the only way to visit this landmark. I would highly recommend booking with Pat, you'll truly appreciate your visit to... More

My apologies to Pat for not writing this sooner, but I see from his rating he is still as good as ever. I have always been interested in history. My teenage children? Much less so. I was hoping we had made the right decision to book this, and I can say that none of us were disappointed. My children have... More

You don't need Pat Shelley to see Stonehenge. But you absolutely must use him to understand Stonehenge and the surrounding area. Pat's encyclopedic knowledge and his passion for separating archeological fact and fiction put the entire Stonehenge area in perspective for us. What we saw and learned from Pat leading up to actually standing at Stonehenge made the finale a... More

My 16 year old daughter and I planned our short trip to London for several months. The inner circle tour to Stonehenge with Pat Shelly was magnificent in every way. Although the weather was chilly and rainy, the trip could not have been more interesting, informative or memorable. Pat is an expert in the history of Stonehenge (and Avesbury which... More

Hi Diane, Many thanks for the review. I am glad you both enjoyed the tour despite the poor weather we've been having. The warmest March on record is being followed by one of the coldest Aprils for 20 years. Stonehenge, however, is still a great place to visit at any time of the year. Kindest Regards to you both, Pat... More

Pat is extremely knowledgable about this area of Ancient Wessex, and never stops giving you little bits of easy to follow facts and information, which he puts across in an interesting and humorous way, the transport was excellent and the tour well organised. You will need to take good walking shoes and wet weather clothes for sure. Pat's tour spends,... More

As we planned our trip to England we looked forward to our visit to Stonehenge and the inner circle tour. Going there with Pat Shelley made it extra special. We went in February, so our special access tour was at 8:00 A.M. The day we went was one of the few days we saw the sun during our three weeks... More

This tour was really well put together and run - our guide Pat seems to know everything about the Stonehenge area, and seeing and learning about other henges and other sites was extrememely interesting. Being able to visit inside the Stonehenge ring after hours was magical, and having Pat there to answer all my questions really made this tour worth... More
