We visited Stonehenge as a part of a day trip from London to Stonehenge to Windsor to Bath. It is truly a mystery and breathtaking to see it in person. If you are going to take a day trip outside of London, I would say try to go to Stonehenge. I would also suggest getting the audio tour. It's an... more

I am pleased to recommend Pat Shelley and Salisbury Guided Tours for a personalized, in-depth tour of Stonehenge, Woodhenge, and related nearby sites. Mr. Shelley picked us up at our hotel in his van and took us to a special access (i.e., inside the stone circle, where the public cannot go, EXCEPT on a special access tour led by a... more

I was fairly skeptical about visiting Stonehenge, sure it's one of those places that everybody has heard of, but is it really worth going out of the way to see a bunch of rocks? I'd say yes! I found Stonehenge to be surprisingly intriguing, and much larger than I originally imagined it to be. With stones over 20' tall, and... more

Despite several reviews that downplayed Stonehenge, we found it to be an amazing day trip when coupled w/ Old Sarum and Salisbury. The most significant thing beyond the stone circle was the countryside - beautiful rolling green hills, thatched roofs, flocks of sheep and burial mounds. As a US city person, we just don't get to experience these things so... more

We (5 mid-twenty aged adults) visited Stonehenge on Dec 31, 07. We were staying in London and researched the various ways to visit Stonehenge. We decided to rent a car near our Russell Square hotel from Hertz and drive. Our reason for using a rental car- it proved to be less expensive than taking a train or bus with the... more

Had to do the 'tourist' thing and see Stonehenge on our first trip to England. We stayed in Bath and took the Mad Max Tour. The tour was excellent! Keith, our driver, was superb! We did not get to touch the stones, or go past the rope barrier, but both my 10 year old grandson and I are glad we... more

Having been born and raised in southern California, I have been exposed to Stonehenge many times over in film and history channel shows. Of course, it isn't quite like the real thing. Yes, I couldn't help myself from giggling when thinking about the tiny Stonehenge on the stage in Spinal Tap or in European Vacation when Chevy Chase backs into... more

I've read several reviews of Stonehenge which don't paint it in a good light. I think they must be posted by people who join large groups and do not have a decent guide who can explain its fascinating history. I went on a great trip with a local company called Salisbury & Stonehenge Guided Tours and it was brilliant. Not... more

Dixonfrance, Thanks for the review and it was good to meet you. As you say there are many magnificent monuments in the surrounding landscape which people just don't get to see. They are all important in helping understand the overall context of Stonehenge and its history. Thank you for taking the time to look at Stonehenge in greater detail and...

I used Mad Max tour company for a great bus trip around the Cotswalds in beautiful England and they also do other tours. The guide Charles was very friendly and the advantage of a small bus allowed you to get to know others and enjoy the trip. Commentry was great and very informative. A really nice day out and well... more

I have spent quite a bit of time in England for work and my travels take me by Stonehenge every time I need to go to London. Most people are surprised that Stonehenge is RIGHT alongside the main highway in that part of the country. You can't miss it. But the first time I saw it, I was so excited... more
