StonehengeWe leave London behind and head west to the rolling chalk hills of Wiltshire, here on windswept Salisbury Plain the great, mysterious Neolithic circle of Stonehenge stands high on the horizon. Our first stop of the day will give you a chance to learn more about this monument, of its builders and those that worshipped there. There are many unanswered questions and many more theories and ideas that are open to debate, your guide will explain what is known and what may never be known and then leave you Glastonbury Torto explore and ponder its awe inspiring presence.

Onwards to Isle of Avalon, through backroads of villages built of flint and thatch, from chalk downland into rolling limestone hills to Glastonbury Tor where legend tells us Arthur was brought after being mortally wounded in battle. We climb to the top to visit the ruined church of St Michael and admire the view of England's West Country laid out like a carpet below. In the ruins of the once great Glastonbury Abbey we find the gravesite of Arthur and learn of older legends like that of Joseph of Aramathea, the Holy Grail and the Crown of Thorns. After exporing the unique shops in the town we head over to the Chalice Well AveburyGardens, drink from the spring and learn of the fate of the holy chalice from the Last Supper.

We end the day at the stone circle complex at Avebury. A collection of standing stones much larger than that of Stonehenge. Our guide will also reveal many other Neolithic sites in the area such as enigmatic Silbury Hill  (Europe's tallest prehistoric structure), the Devil's chair and the Barber-Surgeon stone.

Many tours spend over an hour driving around the busy congested roads of London.

I am writing to thank you for the excellent tour that I took on 11th September with my client from Canada.   We had a fantastic day, the size of the party meant that we didn’t feel ‘herded’ around, the coach was comfortable  and the long journey from London seemed to whizz by as we received a constant flow of fascinating facts of our route even before we got to where the tour was taking us.     Dave was a great cheerful and patient guide and a real mine of information!    I will definitely use your services again.
