Stonehenge & Avebury Tour Itinerary
Your private driver guide will collect you from your Southampton accommodation on the morning of your day tour. Enjoy traveling in our luxury vehicles as we make our way through the scenic Wiltshire countryside.
Your guide will share fascinating stories of England’s ancient past, including myths and legends of Stonehenge and Avebury.
Stonehenge
The first stop of your day trip from Southampton is one of the world’s most iconic prehistoric landmarks, Stonehenge. Enjoy a private guided tour, uncovering the mysteries, myths, and scientific discoveries behind this 5,000-year-old wonder. Your driver guide can ensure you step inside the stone circle itself, an exclusive and rare experience only available to a select few each day.
Stroll through the world-class visitor center, viewing Neolithic artifacts and reconstructions of ancient dwellings. Explore interactive exhibits, ancient artifacts, and archaeological discoveries that help explain Stonehenge’s origins. See a Neolithic village reconstruction, showcasing how early settlers lived 5,000 years ago.
For the ultimate luxury experience, we can arrange for you to embark on a helicopter tour over Stonehenge, offering a breathtaking aerial perspective of one of the world’s most mystical and iconic landmarks.
Gourmet Countryside Lunch
Enjoy a luxury dining experience at a historic country inn or gastropub featuring seasonal British cuisine. Your driver guide can recommend where you can indulge in locally sourced dishes, fine wines, and artisanal desserts, all while enjoying the tranquility of the English countryside.
Avebury
Arrive at Avebury, the world’s largest Neolithic stone circle, often overshadowed by Stonehenge but you can expect an even more immersive experience. Unlike Stonehenge, where access is restricted, you can touch and walk through the vast stone circle at Avebury. Your guide will reveal the legends, spiritual significance, and archaeological discoveries of this 4,000 year old site.
Visit the Avebury Manor & Gardens, a beautifully restored 16th-century manor showcasing different historical periods. The manor offers visitors a unique, immersive experience where you can touch, sit on, and interact with the furniture – a rare treat in historic houses! Time-travel through history with your driver guide, with each room decorated to represent a different era, from Tudor to the 20th century, giving you a sense of how the manor evolved over time.
Your driver guide will then lead you on a short walk through the beautiful Wiltshire countryside from Avebury Gardens to the historic Silbury Hill. This famous hill is the largest man-made mound from the Neolithic period in Europe and remains one of the most significant archaeological mysteries in Britain. It was built without modern tools, likely using antler picks, wooden shovels, and human labor, yet the precision of its construction suggests advanced knowledge of engineering and planning. Seeing Silbury Hill is a must for history lovers, nature enthusiasts and anyone intrigued by mystery, and your driver guide will tell you the relevant myths and stories as you admire the mysterious mound.
Return to Southampton
After a long day of exploring Stonehenge and Avebury, your driver guide will then take you back to your Southampton accommodation, where you can unwind after a long day. Spend the evening enjoying the sights of Southampton with our driver guides more than willing to recommend activities and local restaurants.
