Everything was beautifully organised. Pick-up was right on time. The guide was knowledgeable (although a professional driver, not an expert in neolithic monuments, but he had genned-up on the subject). There were some nice touches such as helping the girls to get over the small stream in the path up to West Kennet Longbarrow. This is a long day, but it was made easy by breaking the trip into manageable blocks of driving, with regular breaks to stretch the legs or find a bathroom. My only minor quibble was that it would have been nice to have a little extra time at Avebury: in theory, we had an hour after the guided walk to explore, but that was mostly consumed by lunch! The minibus was comfortable and spacious. The day was a great success. We also had the bonus of visiting Silbury Hill (although accessing it is not permitted), a chalk horse and of having many other burials pointed out. This tour is a fine way of visiting neolithic Britain and seeing some beautiful countryside.

This is a very unique tour, focusing solely on Neolithic sites in southern Britain. Michel was an excellent guide, and without his entertaining commentary and explanations we probably wouldn’t have understood or enjoyed the significance of what we were seeing. Would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in this area. The coach was great as well, however the departure point is slightly out of the city center.

Great trip! But the guide talked more about New Age stuff and aliens more than the actual history and study of the sites, particularly with the West Kennet Long Barrow. When we went into the barrow, he brought out a random crystal on a chain to show us how it “moves” when your inside the barrow. I asked him about the burial practices, and he gave me a random answer about Roman gods (so weird). Worst part - driving back, he break-checked another car for honking at him. My wife’s bad knee jammed into the seat in front of us during the break-check.
