|---|---|---|
| Stonehenge and Bath guided day tour | Full day | Not published as a fixed figure |
| Avebury and Stonehenge excursion | Full day, returning to London around 7pm | Free time with audio guides |

Trade-offs to weigh up
- − Runs on selected days rather than daily
- − Group sizes are not published, so you cannot plan around them
- − The Avebury route covers a lot of ground in one day
Our take
The Avebury and Stonehenge day is the one to pick if you want the stone circle in a landscape rather than as a single stop. Avebury is bigger, free to enter and far less crowded, and very few London day trips include it.

Prices change with the date and season, so the operator's booking page is the only figure to rely on. Details verified 2026-10-14 from the operator's published information.
Ratings and reviews
We have not published a review score for Anderson Tours, because we have not verified one ourselves yet.
Most comparison sites in this niche print a star rating for every operator they list. Ours only appear for operators where we have read the figure on the source and recorded the date we did it. We would rather show a gap than a number we cannot stand behind.
How our ratings will work once reviews build up
Star averages tell you very little on their own. A 4.9 from 2,700 reviews and a 4.4 from 232 are not the same claim, and neither tells you whether the guide was good or the pickup was late. So we collect reviews scored on the things that actually differ between operators, and publish those sub-scores alongside the average.

Reader reviews are opening shortly
We are collecting reviews from travellers who have actually taken these tours, scored on the things that differ between operators: guide quality, communication and pickup, time at the stones, and value for money. We would rather open this properly than put up a box that loses what you write.
In the meantime, the comparison below covers group sizes, itineraries and time at the stones for every operator we track.
We do not pay for reviews and operators have no say in what gets published, including this page. Reviews are checked by a human and confirmed with the author by email before they appear.
Check the hours for your date first
Opening hours and last entry vary by date, and tour departure times are built around them. Check your date before you commit to an itinerary.
