We did our own special access arrangements by going to the English Heritage site (there is a booking form on line) but book early and it’s only summer months. But it’s just amazing to get in among the stones, and they only allow a small group, mornings and evenings. I think the big problem is that a lot people don’t... more

Coming from London (a 3 hour trip by train and bus), you almost expect to see this grand (ok....HUGE) formation of rocks. As you approach, it is literally between a fork in the road and MUCH smaller than you imagined. Seeing it from the road and saving having to pay 20 american dollars to get in would have been money... more

I was very much looking forward to visiting Stonehenge, even after reading reviews that talked about how underwhelming it is. Sure enough, it is! Obviously the history of the structure, while relatively unknown, is still interesting enough to visit and I would venture to say that no visit to England is complete without seeing it, but because the structure is... more

Honestly- I'm not sure if Stonehenge would have been as amazing if we hadn't done a special access tour. It would have been cool to see, but not nearly the same. We used [--] and were thrilled with our Stonhenge experience. Stonehenge is only one piece of the puzzle, and by doing this intimate tour we learned about not only... more

Heard so much about Stonehenge and so when I went to Uk last year, I decided to do Bath and Stonehenge. I was all excited about the visit , it was a major letdown. for me. We took a train from bath to Salisbury and then took a bus there. When we arrived at the bus-stop which was filled with... more

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 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
