★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 634 reviews · 6 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $91.54Our pick

Stonehenge early-morning half-day tour from London with priority admission, shuttle bus, and audio guide. Return by about 2pm.

“For starters, Ash the guide and Stewart the driver could have been better at the job. In the morning, Stewart left a group of us outside, after we showed him our tickets. Then proceeds to tell us to stand in an entirely different area. After nearly missing the bus, we all went back to the only bus there to make sure this was not our bus to which we were then told by Ash it was. So to my surprise I learned Stewart could not read. This then caused me and my family to sit separately on the bus. Then once we arrived, there were no clear instructions given. We…”

5.Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Flight Over York

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 49 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $274.22

Sunrise hot air balloon flight over York with a small group, hands-on balloon setup, safety-first briefing, and a countryside landing with champagne.

“This was a birthday present from my kids and it proved to be the best ever. We were involved with getting the balloon ready for our flight, after first being given simple, but comprehensive instruction on what needed doing. This part of the trip gives a great insight into how big the balloon envelope actually is. The take off was perfect, hardly noticing that we had left the ground. Information and chat throughout the flight was top notch and the main part, Ollie made it fun too. It's ok doing these experiences, but it has to be fun doing it, and our flight ticked all the boxes. Views over the…”

6.3 Hours Borough Market Morning Food Tour with London Bites Tours

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 41 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $130.25

3-hour Borough Market morning food tour with London Bites, 6 tasting stops, local guide stories, and an end at a classic pub.

“I was between a two and three rating here but read on and decide for yourself. We started late which was fine, but it definitely got more crowded by the minute. I was hoping for a lot more from this tour based off the reviews and description about learning about the vendors / food sourcing but this tour with George? Fell a bit flat. I was hoping there’d be inquiries into what kind of food we were interested in and more about the diff stalls and vendors but it was a standard fare of 4 items and 2 pub stops. We never even learned the name of the 3rd food…”

7.Stonehenge Summer Solstice Tour from London: Sunset or Sunrise Viewing

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 23 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $184.11

A high-stakes Stonehenge solstice day trip from London, with coach transport, a guided visit, and sunset or sunrise options.

“This was an absolutely wonderful tour - the highlight of our trip to London! The ability to visit Avesbury first and learn about henges proved a truly helpful approach. Learning about "lay lines" (the magnetic lines in the earth) increased our understanding and awe of why these circles were built. Lacock was interesting - a quintessential English village - especially for Harry Potter fans! Stonehenge itself was amazing and to be able to enter the circle and touch the stones a once in a lifetime experience. We were able to talk with Druids and Pagans and witness their celebrations as well as getting fantastic pictures of the sunset. The crowd…”
