STONEHENGE PRIVATE ACCESS TOURS - Go beyond the fences!
In addition our regular 'scheduled group tour' departures we are often able to get permission from the English Heritage for additional 'inner circle' dates for small groups (1-16 persons). These can be sunset or sunrise times depending on availability. These bespoke tours cand also include Salisbury, Avebury, Bath, or Warwick Castle etc and can depart from London, Salisbury or Bath. This can often be cheaper than joining a scheduled tour, offers more flexibility, more personal and a better allround experience. Email us your desired dates and group size for a prompt reply


We have arranged with theEnglish Heritage for you to experience a unique visit to this ancient sacred site - beyond the fences & after the crowds have gone home. Walk amongst the stones & experience the magical atmosphere within the inner circle.

For those of you who have not visited this sacred site, we should mention that the complex is roped off. Visitors observe the stones from a distance and are not permitted within the temple complex..........our special access tours allow you to be amongst the stones. Your guide will bring to life its many myths, legends and rich and fascinating history. Departure and return times vary according to the time allocated for special access.

"A wonderful photo opportunity....

After your pick-up directly from or near to your hotel, we drive to Bath to visit the Roman Baths and Pump Room. In the late afternoon we visit Lacock for an early evening supper in a 13th century inn, before driving to Stonehenge. As the sun begins to set, we enter the stone circle (which is normally roped off to the public) for a unique private viewing. The most dramatic and atmospheric way of visiting Stonehenge.

Stonehenge - Private Viewing at Sunset and tourch the Stones
Built nearly 5,000 years ago, Stonehenge is the most popular prehistoric monument in the world. Most visitors to the site are not allowed direct access to the stones. With Premium Tours you get that access, with a private viewing of the mysterious monoliths. We will enter the stone circle itself and stand beside the mighty Sarsen rocks towering above us. Our guide will explain the history of this ancient site, pointing out the altar, slaughter and heel stones, above which the sun rises dramatically on the summer solstice. There will be time to enjoy the peace, away from the crowds, as we experience Stonehenge at its most mystical and atmospheric best. Not to be missed!

Lacock
Lacock is a little known, picturesque village dating back to the Saxon era. Many of the beautiful buildings originally formed part of an extensive monastic complex and are now owned by The National Trust. So pretty is the village that it has provided the setting for many movies and television dramas including Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice and more recently Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. We will take a delightful walk before we enjoy an early evening supper* (or breakfast for morning tours*) in The George, a vintage English pub built in 1361.
*food/drink not included

Bath
Bath, a world heritage site, is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces and architecture. There will be plenty of time to visit Bath Abbey, or to shop and explore. Your guide will also conduct an optional walking tour to show you where Charles Dickens lived and worked as a young man, and a give you a chance to sample some delicious cheeses fresh from the local dairy farms. Then we will enter the magnificent Roman Baths, where over one million litres of boiling water still burst free from the hot springs everyday.

Price: £85 per adult (£78 per child aged 3-16 years) including all relevant entrance fees.

 Built around 2800 B.C., England's Stonehenge was designed to align exactly with the sun's rays on June 21. Stonehenge is the most famous stone circle, or megalith, in existence.
Astral Travels uk sightseeing tours. Testimonials title
 I took the Special Access tour of Stonehenge back in March, and it was the best thing I’ve ever done in my many trips to the UK. With a lot of my colleagues going to England for the first time over the next few months, I gave them only one name for tours: Astral Travels. If you treat them half as nicely as I was treated, they’ll have the memory of a lifetime. Thanks again!
