Pickup: Choice of three central London pickup points
Stonehenge tours operated by International Friends
Time at the stones matters more than total tour length, because the rest of the day is spent driving or at other stops. We list it separately for that reason.
| Tour | Duration | Time at the stones |
|---|---|---|
| Stonehenge, Bath, Lacock and Avebury small group tour | Full day | Not published as a fixed figure |
What is included
- + Small group of no more than 16, which means more interaction with the guide
- + Multiple central London pickup points
- + Four stops in one day

Our take
This is the one to choose if the crowd is the thing that would spoil the day for you. You pay a clear premium over the big-coach operators for a 16-person group.
We have not linked to International Friends's own website. We were not able to reach them to confirm the details below directly, so we are not sending traffic to their site until we can. Where their tours are sold through a booking platform, we link there instead, further up this page.
We are not affiliated with International Friends and we receive no payment from them. Details verified 2026-10-14 from their published information. Prices change with the date and season, so check the current figure with the operator before you book.
Book these International Friends tours
Live prices, availability and reviews for these specific International Friends tours, with free cancellation on most dates. We link to the booking platform here because the price for your date is only shown live, and because it lets us measure the traffic we send.
These are affiliate links. If you book, International Friends pays us a commission through the platform at no extra cost to you, and it does not affect their price or what we write here. We show the price positioning and the trade-offs of this operator regardless.
Ratings and reviews
We have not published a review score for International Friends, 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.
- •Value for money
- •Quality of the guide
- •Communication and pickup
- •Time at the stones
- •Booking and cancellation
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.
