The 10 Best Cultural Tours in Salisbury, England
If you saw Chevy Chase's masterpiece European Vacation, you'll recognize Stonehenge's massive formation. (As a citizen of the world, you should recognize Stonehenge anyway.) The prehistoric stone circle is eight miles from Salisbury, and its visitors provide a boost to the local economy. With a history dating back over 5,000 years, there is no shortage of significant places to visit in and around Salisbury. On the "must see" list are Salisbury Cathedral, Longleat and Stourhead gardens (and Stonehenge, of course).

We had an amazing trip to Stonehenge, Bath and the Cotswolds with Oz; our courteous driver and tour guide. The trip was very professional and very well organized. From the outset, we could tell we were in good hands. Oz really knows his way around the area and his depth of knowledge of the history of the locations is fantastic. You could not ask for a better guide. Our trip was a little different because we asked not to go to The Roman Museum and spend more time in the Cotswolds. Oz picked us up on time and the van was very comfortable. We were provided hand sanitizer in the van for our use and offered face masks if needed which was also reassuring. It was quite a long drive out to Stonehenge, but Oz kicked things off with an interesting talk on London as we passed by important buildings. He then gave us an amazing introduction speech about Saxons, Vikings and ancient history that really had us hooked on what we were going to see! The whole day was superb, we never felt rushed and enjoyed it so much from beginning to end. Thanks for a great day Oz - this was the best day of our holiday!

Fantastic - even for a muggle this place is jaw dropping. This was our third visit and we will be back before the year is out . You can actually do this trip yourself by public transport from Waterloo to Watford Junction and then there is a free shuttle coach to the studios and it will end up costing you a fraction of the price. Just to say I have not used this service so I am not reviewing the service given by Premium tours .A family ticket cost €132 for 2 adults and 2 children and then the extras are just the train fare. If you are on a budget I would recommend exploring this option.

Our travel agent chose our driver guide, she chose wisely for us. During our month long stay we had several driver guides along the way. Andrew was by far the best. He is very knowledgeable about the history, art and characters of Bath and the Cotswolds. He knew where to take us and what we would find interesting after we had a chat with at the beginning of our day. He was aware of our comfort level and made stops for us as needed, even had water and biscuits for us. We appreciated that he listened to what we wanted and made the day so enjoyable. It was such a pleasure to be in his company and you will be delighted with him as your guide.

I’m so glad that we booked the private tour of Stonehenge. David was prompt, polite, professional and knowledgeable...not just about Stonehenge, but many other things along the way about London and England in general. The car was comfortable and clean. My wife and I really enjoyed our day and a much better and personal experience than we would have gotten through a coach tour! Thanks Dave!
10. Private Stonehenge and Salisbury Shore Excursion from Southampton
Travel through time and visit Stonehenge and walk in the footsteps of our Neolithic ancestors at Stonehenge - one of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe. We will also visit Salisbury Cathedral, there is so much to see on a visit to the Cathedral, from beautifully carved monuments and tombs to the famous Father Willis Organ, and the world's oldest working mechanical clock. It is home to the best preserved of only four surviving Magna Carta (AD1215) which is listed on the UNESCO 'Memory of the World' register. Marvel at Britain's tallest spire which weighs 6,500 tons, and take a stroll around the 80-acre Cathedral Close - the largest in Britain. Time permitting we can also consider taking in a visit to Old Sarum, it is one of the most historically important sites in southern England. Uniquely, it combines a royal castle and cathedral within an Iron Age fortification, and for 150 years was a major centre for secular and ecclesiastical government.
