Which Stonehenge tour from London should you book?
For most people, a Stonehenge tour from London is either a half day (the stones and straight back) or a full day that adds Bath, Windsor or Oxford. The half-day coaches with the entry ticket included are the cheapest way to see Stonehenge from London — cheaper, once you add the ticket, than the train and bus.
| Tour | Length | From (pp) | Rating | Included | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Morning day trip with admission | 6.5 h | ~£66 | 4.8★ (4,000+) | Coach, entry | The safe classic; free afternoon |
| Coach transfers with admission | 7–8 h | ~£59 | 4.4★ (4,800+) | Coach, entry, audio guide | Cheapest with the ticket |
| Half-day trip (Golden Tours) | 6 h | ~£62 | 4.5★ (2,100+) | Coach, entry, downloadable audio guide | Shortest half day |
| Stonehenge & Roman Baths | 11 h | ~£55 | 4.7★ (1,500+) | Coach; check entries | Cheapest Bath combo |
| Stonehenge & Bath with entry | 11 h | ~£85 | 4.8★ (3,200+) | Coach, Stonehenge entry | Best-rated Bath combo |
| Stonehenge & Windsor | 9.5 h+ | ~£69 | 4.5★ (380+) | Coach; check Windsor entry | Royal + prehistoric |
| Stonehenge & Oxford with admission | 11 h | ~£79 | 4.7★ (670+) | Coach, Stonehenge entry | Oxford colleges |
| Stonehenge & Avebury | 10 h | ~£98 | 4.7★ (200+) | Guided, Avebury, West Kennet | Prehistory fans |
| Inner circle & Windsor | 11 h | ~£219 | 5.0★ (12) | Coach, guide, inner circle | Inside the stones |
Most half-day tours give you the entry ticket and an audio guide rather than a live guide at the stones. That’s fine: the site is a walk around a path, and the visitor centre’s exhibition does the explaining. If you want someone telling the story all day, look for “guided” in the title — the Avebury tour is the clearest example.

| Option | £ per person | Time on the road | Time at the stones | Flexibility |

How the DIY sum works: a return from Waterloo to Salisbury on a weekday in early November came up from about £22 to £36 on National Rail’s planner, depending on the train. The Stonehenge Tour’s booking site lists bus-only returns from £14 and bus-plus-Stonehenge-plus-Old-Sarum tickets from £29 — check the adult price for your date. Bought separately, Stonehenge entry is about £25–£29 for an adult booked ahead. On the day you’ll pay more for both train and entry.
How does Stonehenge inner circle access work?
On a normal ticket you walk a path around the stones, close but not among them. English Heritage’s Stone Circle Experience is the regular way inside the circle:
- When: early morning or evening, outside normal opening hours, for about an hour, including a tour of the surrounding landscape.
- Price: from £70 for adults and £40 for children aged 5–17; under-5s free.
- Size: up to 52 people per session, split into two groups of 26 at the stones.
- Rules: no touching or standing on the stones; photos are fine.
- Availability: very limited, booking open to March 2027, and no sessions in October or November.
Getting there for a 7am or evening slot without a car is the hard part: the Stonehenge Tour bus timetable may not match your session. That’s why inner circle tours exist. The one in our feed adds Windsor and costs about £219 per person. Headout lists Stonehenge entry, inner circle access, an English-speaking guide and the coach as included, with Windsor Castle tickets as a paid extra. For a private car timed around your session, see private Stonehenge tours.
Combine Stonehenge with Bath, Windsor or Oxford?
- Bath is the natural partner — another World Heritage Site and the Roman Baths. See Bath day trips.
- Windsor pairs a working royal castle with prehistory — but it’s closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. See Windsor Castle tours.
- Oxford adds a college town; see Oxford and Cambridge tours.
- All three in one day is possible — the day trips hub explains the trade-off.
If you’d rather avoid coaches altogether, our day trips by train guide shows which destinations work from London stations.
