Departing from London

On the way, your driver will share captivating insights, preparing you for the mystical experiences at Stonehenge, Avebury, and other Neolithic wonders you’ll encounter.

West Kennet Long Barrow and Silbury Hill

Your first stop on your journey into Britain's Neolithic past is West Kennet Long Barrow, one of the largest burial tombs in the country. Upon arrival, you’ll join your guide for a walk through its ancient chambers, dating back to 3650 BCE, and ponder the spiritual life of early civilizations.

After the tour, enjoy free time to explore the village and embrace the quietness accompanying this lesser-visited wonder. Oh, and don't miss the chance to visit the Red Lion Pub, a perfect spot for a quintessentially British lunch, as well as the town's charming, if not eccentric, healing stone shop.

Tour guide Eva and Errol our bus driver were great. Eva was full of information and a great storyteller. Errol drove the bus in less than favorable conditions, strike in underground trains causing excessive street traffic. The tour provided great historical sites and beautiful photo ops. Overall a must do tour.
