It was my 70 year old mother’s first time going to England and she requested seeing Stonehenge. I groaned inside because we had done the tour bus to Stonehenge and other stops back in 2010, and I had no desire to participate in that experience again. Avebury, which was my favorite part, was one of the stops the tour bus made, so I wanted her to compare the Stonehenge to Avebury. And the search for a tour that included Avebury is how I found this private tour with an archaeologist. No tour bus full of strangers who seem to have zero etiquette, no herding, an expert explaining in far more depth than a tour operator, and able to answer any number of questions. It was a splurge, but it ended up not being too much more than the 4 bus tour tickets + fees I would have had to pay for otherwise, and we got so much more for that money. Avebury and West Kennet Long Barrow were my favorite parts of the trip. Going to Stonehenge with an archaeologist made it a much better experience with far more depth and detail. This tour is worth every penny. Highly recommend
