Stonehenge

Then add mystery to your day with a special trip to Stonehenge, one of the wonders of the world. This ancient temple was built around 5,000 years ago, making it older than the pyramids of Egypt. It is classed as a World Heritage Site and thought to be a place of healing, as well as an astronomical clock and a religious site.

 

City of Bath

To complete your private tour you can then admire the heritage of the City of Bath boasting spectacular Georgian architecture, and more listed buildings than London. Here you can visit the ancient Roman Baths, built over 2,000 years ago. The Romans harnessed the hot local springs and were able to engineer a magnificent complex of plunge pools, steam rooms and saunas. Or you can enter the ancient Bath Abbey or the Jane Austin centre or you may wish to just shop in the amazing stores on offer or of course you may wish to relax in a traditional pub and watch the world pass by.

 

Alternative Tour Sights

This tour can be customised with alternative visits to the vibrant Salisbury Cathedral church with Britain's tallest spire and best preserved Magna Carta, Avebury (a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles), Hampton Court (a royal palace), or Lacock Abbey & Village (picturesque streets and historic cottages featured in Pride & Prejudice & Harry Potter). Please note this means not adding but replacing one of the other sites.
