What's included in the package

Itinerary

Avebury Stone Circle

You will be collected from your preferred pick-up point in Bath and will be driven to the small village of Avebury in a private car. Avebury is home to the world's largest stone circle which dates back to approx. 2600BC. With your guide you will explore the remains of this ancient stone circle and your guide will explain about its history and the latest discoveries. At Avebury you are free to wander among the stones and touch them. Some people can sense great energy from the stones and today it is a popular place for New Age spiritualists. After visiting the long barrow we will continue to a historic English pub for lunch.

Admission Ticket Included

West Kennet Long Barrow

After exploring Avebury we will continue to the West Kennet Long Barrow which is one of the oldest pre-historic monuments in the country, built over 5,600 years ago! It is a communal tomb which once housed the remains of a number of individuals. Today it is one of the best examples of a pre-historic chambered tomb and should you wish visitors can go inside.

Silbury Hill (Pass-by Only)

Your guide will explain about its history, how archaeologists believe it was constructed and will tell you interesting stories behind the site. There will be plenty of opportunities for photos.

Daniel is an excellent guide! Extremely knowledgeable, witty and a genuine gentleman. He deserves more than a five star rating!! He showed us everything we wanted to see from Avebury to Stonehenge and places in between. When we come back we will definitely look him up for another tour.

We appreciated Daniel’s friendly and calm demeanor. He made us feel welcome right away and was sensitive to our needs throughout the day (walking pace, rain gear, bio breaks, etc). This tour is an excellent way to see several important sites efficiently without the stress of renting a car and nav...
