I would highly recommend The English Bus Company if you want to see Stonehenge. This small fairly new firm has a wonderful comfortable coach ( named 'Eddie@') that is air-conditioned with 2 seats on one side of the bus and 1 seat on the other. It holds about 16 passengers plus driver and guide. Chris and Andrew are funny, (... More

My family visited Windsor Castle/ Stonehenge/ Lacock/ Bath with Martin and David. While Martin guided us through some of the narrowest backroads I've ever seen Mr. David Jordan guided us through backroads of English history. The man was brilliant. He brought English history to life. He talked about the (not so merry) wives of Tudor (King Henry' s wives -... More

We visited Stonehenge in just 15 minutes with our2 kids of 10 and 12 years old. We didnot bother to go into the attraction but just walk along the fence which gives you almost the same views as from inside the fence. Saves a lt of time waiting at the ticket boots.

Visited last year, whilst on the way back from a 2 week trip across the West Country with my girlfriend. I can't believe I even bothered to pay for the parking... It just goes to show that everyone is out to get your money and give you very little in return. 'English Heritage' does it again...they're an utter disgrace to... More

Its an overhyped place. If you still want to visit it, park your car and go around the wired boundary . There is not much difference apart from the over- priced ticket... Will nor recommend

Like a lot of reviewers here who were initially told not to go, I was similarly discouraged from going as it's "nothing but a bunch of rocks". Well, I'm glad I did. The whole experience just took about 30 to 45 minutes. But it was well worth it. Getting in was easy. In through a tunnel, you come out the... More

The theme of our trip to England was Henge Hunting. We started at Hadrian's Wall and culminated with the most famous one of all - Stonehenge. I was aware that Stonehenge was 'touristy', and with the sheer number of people that they have visit, I'm not too sure how else it could be managed as it stands now. But it... More

Tip 1: the only way to get there is by buying the stonehenge bus ticket outside salisbury rail station. £12 per person not including tour at the Saram and Stonehenge entrance fee. There is no other way except driving there yourself or get a on the Stonehenge bus. Tip 2: mind you, the bus drivers have the rudest attitude. Not... More

It is definitely a “WOW” moment, when you first see it. The actual stones are fenced off for their preservation and protection, but you can still feel the mystical power of it all. We were able to get some great pictures, despite the crowds. They had a small gift shop and to say it was jammed packed would be an... More
