Stonehenge: private excursion from/to London or LHR to/from Southampton cruise ship with driver~guide in an executive vehicle

Stonehenge is the most epic & iconic destination an inquisitive traveller can experience when on Earth.
It's also a place I always like to return & show-off my enthusiasm for as I feel a strong affinity to this monumental landscape.
When I bring travellers here it is in exactly the same place but the experience is invariably unique.
As you walk around the stone circle this work of art changes. Whilst there are subtle differences, such as the light & weather, it's the questions posed which inevitably encourages greater apprehension. One is left with an appreciation of the lay of the land as well as of early human determination to live off it & to honour their ancestors.
On this private excursion you will explore this UNESCO World Heritage site in depth. With me accompanying, you can examine the timeline, landscape & meaning of this monumentalised memorial to human ingenuity.
The memories & momentous photos you take home with you will be unforgettable.

A great place for families to gather since at least 2500 BC

Inspirational Heel Stone in the foreground

See how this iconic monumentalised memorial to early human inventiveness seems to change as one circles it.

We will get quite close up. Early morning inner access tours can also be included on some dates.

A good view of the outer Trilithons (2 uprights and a lintel) and the inner 'magical' bluestones.

This luxurious executive vehicle is ideal for driving tours as it has wide leather seats, plenty of legroom, a high smooth ride, large windows, and automatic sliding doors. You will be chauffeured by your guide who is also a licenced private hire driver.

Windsor Castle, Stonehenge & Bath | Full Day tour from London or Port Southampton

England is full of gems. I'm here to plan your ultimate journey based on your request.

Windsor Castle, the ultimate monument to English tradition by visiting its rooms that tell the story of the nation's history can be heart beating. The clues to the lives of the Kings and Queens always fascinate me!

Did you know Edward III transformed a castle into the home of English chivalry? The spiritual home of the oldest surviving Order of the Garter in the world is thrilling. In Stonehenge we will solve the shrouded mystery of all time together we will travel back to 4500 year ago to find out how neolithic builders used celestial calendars in their era.

How about feeling like a Roman in the ancient spa in Bath? I have some important stories to tell you. You indulge in authentic artisan English food in one of my favourite country pubs in a hidden village. Just try the traditional apple cider and local craft beers.

Join me to explore the fascinating region of England with its 5000 years of history and flavour!

Windsor is not just a castle. Windsor has been many things, a home to medieval chivalry, royal elegancy and the home of British traditions. Windsor is the oldest and the largest inhabited castle in the world attracting millions of visitors from the world.

You can enjoy the view of the Guards marching into Windsor Castle in Windsor Town. Windsor may be one of the best spots where you can be a witness of this Royal ritual performed by Seven British Army Regiments serving her Majesty.

A few years after he had invaded Britain, the Windsor Castle story begins with William the Conqueror around 1070 AD. In Windsor on a steep calcareous cliff he chose to build a fortress to watch the enemy come from far away.

Changing Guard Ceremony takes place inside the Castle. It's one of England's major Royal Life ceremonies. The march starts at around 10:45 a.m. and the ceremony takes place at 11 a.m. in the morning (unless specified and if the weather permits). For this ceremony, please contact me for the actual calendar.

Windsor Castle remained a fortress more than a royal house for nearly three centuries. Edward III's dream changed that completely into a more heroic England, as we will find out. Therefore, we can say that, his greatest achievement was Windsor Castle itself.

Lower Moat Garden may be one of the most beautiful and secluded gardens in Windsor. The garden is beautifully maintained and designed with a lawn and rocks. The combination of the castle and garden makes you feel that you are in an English fairy tale

Entrance to the Moat Garden is not included in your ticket. Visitors should pay a small amount to enter the garden. It is totally worth it.

During our tour, we will examine how a castle transforms in to a palace style and when we mention about transformation, we need to take a closer look George IV era to see the exterior, height of the Round Tower and massive masonry of the exterior of the castle.

St George's Chapel, spiritual home of the Order of the Garter has some wonderful details such as soaring windows of Gothic Architecture. Not only this, the chapel recently hosted Meghan's & Harry's Royal Wedding. Let's take a closer look.

Welcome to my tour gallery. Today, our private tour starts from Windsor. 2019 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Queen Victoria, and Windsor has a direct connection to the Queen. Like Buckingham Palace, the statue of Queen Victoria welcomes visitors from all over the world.

It's forbidden to take pictures in State Apartments. They are the heart of Windsor Castle with priceless, fantastic, ostentatious collections of the Royal Family members, packed with jewels which also indicate the lives of kings and queens who helped shape these apartments in their different ways.

The jewel of English Heritage: Stonehenge has been a source of fascination for thousands of years. Many people, both past and present, have devoted their lives attempting to unravel the mysteries of this extraordinary place. This is why we are all here today …right? Today we will try to find some answers about the cremation cemetery, and how the sarsen stones were added and aligned to mark the mid-summer (June 21 @ 16:54) and mid-winter (December 22 @ 04:19) solstices. Hear the story from a scientist!

These two natural boulders are sarsen and bluestone, the two stone-types used to build Stonehenge. By touching them, we can feel the difference. Can you move this stone? Let's give it a try.

One of the most important remnants in the museum is Stonehenge Man, who was born 500 years before the earliest stone monument appeared at the site. His face was reconstructed from the area's 5500-year-old skeleton. Forensic analysis has enabled scientists to create the most lifelike model of a British prehistoric individual. Impressive!

Right in front of the visitor center of Stonehenge, a model village has been constructed, with mud and thatch huts showing what life would have been like for people at the time the site was first constructed. Can you guess for how many years this village accommodated the people of Stonehenge?

Stonehenge is perhaps the most famous of the ancient astronomical monuments found around the world. The stones were formed and built to frame at least two major events; the annual solar cycle-midwinter solstice sunset and the midsummer sunrise at the summer solstice. The sun rises from behind the Heel Stone on the summer solstice, on June 21st, where its first light shines into Stonehenge's heart. What about the winter solstice? I have one more story to tell you. Let's explore it together!

Bath goes back to Roman times and we are here, today, to explore this beautiful Georgian town. We will explore the Roman Hot Springs and the Pump Room. Let's find out how people have been enjoying Bath for thousands of years. Are you ready to feel the "Georgian elegance" with me in the city? Then, let's go!

Parade Gardens is one of the best examples of a Victorian Public Garden. The gardens overlook the Pulteney Bridge and Pulteney Weir on the banks of the Avon River. The flower bedding screens are some of the best in Britain. But, hang on! Bath is routinely banned from the "Britain in Bloom" Contest. Why? Keep following me, please :)

No visit to Bath would be complete without at least a short insight into the beautiful Bath Abbey. A Church from wool? It sounds very "Cotswolds style" Bath Abbey is the last medieval Church built in Britain 500 years ago. It's a brand new one :) Also lets hear why people call the Abbey as "The lantern of the West". Please, follow me!

Right!.. Here is the reason to be in this lovely town. Bath is famous for its hot springs. It was a popular spa town for the ancient Romans. The terrace was completed in 1897 and it's the date the Roman Baths reopened to the public but the history of Bath goes back to 860 BC when the Celtic King Bladud discovered the curative effect of the mud & spa. The story begins then.

Here in this picture, you see 46 Celsius degree surplus hot spa water from the spring, which pours into a Roman drain and then flows into the river. In the first century, the Romans built natural baths around the spring and built a temple dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva. "Minerva is the patron goddess... in her temple, the eternal flames never whiten into ash...", these were the words of the Roman writer Solinus in the 3rd Century AD.

During our visit, we will be witnessing the rising and falling of the Roman Baths. Throughout our tour we will examine life and death in Aquae Sulis, the worshipping of the Gods, impressive curses written on lead or pewter, monumental buildings, a temple courtyard, the altar, how the Romans controlled the water, gemstones in the drain, The Great Bath, and the Roman mosaic floor. We will also take a closer look for caldarium, tepidarium, frigidarium and natatio, the west baths, and the hypocaust system.

You will have the opportunity to taste this 10,000 year old spring water. To be honest, it is not the taste you are expecting, however, the mineral composition of the water is complex. Sulphate, Calcium, Chloride, Sodium, Bicarbonate, Magnesium, Silica, Potassium, Stronium, Fluoride, Bromide, Iron, Ammonium, Manganese, Boron, Iodine, Barium, Nickel, Zinc, and Selenium are just what your body needs. (Not suitable for pregnant women and children under 7)

The Pump Room, an elegant Georgian Saloon above the Roman Baths, is another reason to visit beautiful Bath. They offer the best afternoon tea experience or a chance to raise a bubbly in this neo classical grandeur. It's a great quintessentially English experience in this Georgian town. Reservations are recommended, which and I can gladly arrange for you.

It is time to sample the regional and fresh tastes of Bath. You will find delicious fudge consisting of butter, milk and sugar, which is now considered a traditional British recipe. The best of all is prepared right before your eyes. Do you want to give it a try? It is not the same that you have in the States, and I am sure you will enjoy the difference!

The three entrance Circus is a typical Georgian Square by architect John Wood the Elder, built between the years of 1754 and 1768. The Jane Austen Centre is just a walking distance away. I houses a permanent exhibition of film costumes and books that tell the story of the author's time in Bath.

Most of the buildings in Bath, from 18th Century local architects, were totally inspired by the Italian style. The Royal Crescent goes back to 1770's and is considered the very first Georgian condos. There is an optical illusion in here that is related to the posh address, which is "Number one, Royal Crescent". You will be surprised when I reveal it.

Windsor Castle's Inner Hall, created by George IV in the 1820s as a space to receive official guests, has been restored and opened to the public. Now, for the first time since its closure by George's niece, Queen Victoria, the Inner Hall serves its original purpose as a magnificent welcome area for visitors to the Castle. The opening of the Inner Hall reinstates the sequence of spaces linking the visitor entrance on the North Terrace with the State Entrance on the south side.

Join me to explore the fascinating region of England with its 5000 years of history and flavour!

Salisbury has been an important provincial city for more than a thousand years. Its streets form an architectural timeline ranging from medieval walls and half-timbered Tudor town houses, to Georgian mansions, Victorian villas, and of course a majestic cathedral topped by the tallest spire in England. Welcome to Salisbury!

The Salisbury Cathedral is the finest 13th century cathedral in Britain. It is an international symbol of Christianity, an important heritage attraction, and a beautiful and historic building. It is an active place of worship that welcomes half a million people from all over the world annually. For me, this is one of the best Cathedrals of the world!

The Salisbury Cathedral is famous for being built in an early English Gothic style. It is also famous for boasting Britain's tallest spire that soars 123 meters and for having the largest cloisters in Britain. I will be sharing a lot of fascinating history and culture with you today!

The cathedral was built between 1220 and 1258. A small passageway leads beyond its highly decorative West Front into the 70m-long nave that is lined with Jurassic limestones and beautiful Purbeck stone pillars. You will most definitely love it.

Marvel at the World's oldest working clock. Can you believe this beauty has been in use since 1386? It is powered by weights and has no hands or face. It is estimated that this clock has ticked a total of 4.4 billion times between 1386 to 1884 and 1956 to 2013. Thrilling!

The construction of the cathedral involved 70,000 tons of stone, 3,000 tons of wood, and 450 tons of lead. Due to the high water levels in its present location, the foundation of the Salisbury Cathedral is just four-feet deep. It is made up of the same architectural style: Gothic Early English. The original construction only lasted 38 years, even without motor equipment. Wow, that's impressive!

The chapter house, with its beautiful fan-ceiling and medieval frieze, is home to the finest of only four surviving original Magna Carta. It is regarded as one of the foundation stones of modern civil liberties and inscribed in the Unesco Memory of the World Register. For many visitors, this is the pinnacle of a visit to the Salisbury Cathedral. Unfortunately, no photos are allowed.

Located In the medieval King's House, the Salisbury Museum explores the history and archaeology of Salisbury and South Wiltshire. It has displays of early man, Stonehenge, and nearby Old Sarum. It is here that you will also admire a fascinating Victorian ceramics and glass collection. It is a must-see if time allows.

Stonehenge Archer (from late Neolithic, 2400 - 2100 BC), is the home to immaculate artefacts from the Mesolithic & Paleolithic periods (5000-4000 BC), Early Neolithic (4000-3000 BC), and of course from impressive Stonehenge (3000 - 1500 BC). The museum also has other collections from the Salisbury Plain. This museum is a true shrine for paleontology lovers.

We will encounter the Stonehenge Houses that are located directly outside the museum. These huts are reconstructions of Neolithic houses, where their shape is based on the Durrington Walls of Neolithic housing excavations. The roofs were made of straw (from wheat) and densely thatched. We will have the opportunity to go inside and explore some of the houses.

Well, well, well. Here is the reason to be in this lovely town. Bath is famous for its hot springs. It was a popular spa town for the ancient Romans. The terrace was completed in 1897 and it's the date the Roman Baths reopened to the public but the history of Bath goes back to 860 BC when the Celtic King Bladud discovered the curative effect of the mud & spa. The story begins then.

Here in this picture, you see 46 Celsius degree surplus hot spa water from the spring, which pours into a Roman drain and then flows into the river. In the first century, the Romans built natural baths around the spring and the built a temple dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva. "Minerva is the patron goddess... in her temple, the eternal flames never whiten into ash...", these were the words of the Roman writer Solinus in the 3rd Century AD.

Now that we are in England, you must have a sip of amazing handcrafted single malt whiskies, and try the traditional apple cider and local craft beers in our favorite traditional shop. Try the secret Islay, from the Island of Islay, offering an earthy aroma of fresh mint and some florals. All single malt Scotch Whiskies are from their very special casks. Cheers! (this is not for me as I will be your safe-driver guide for the day)

Built by Ralph Allen in 1762, Sham Castle overlooks the city from the hill. Bath's scenery is impressive from this location. The castle was restored in 1921 and presented to the people in Bath. I would be more than happy to take you to this landmark.

Even today, 10,000 years of mineral water initiates good health. Locals called "The Min" have been providing health for the poor since 1738. Today the hospital is run in the city of health by the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust.

The impressive Royal Theater, which was built in 1805, is labeled as one of Bath's West End's most well-preserved Georgian theater architecture. The first performance was Shakespeare's Richard III and today it hosts London's favorite musicals and shows for art lovers and visitors. I would be pleased to show you this building today!

#1 Royal Crescent gives an intimate glimpse into the Georgian age's lavish lifestyle. You will experience the fascinating details of this building's posh lifestyle. This is a total timeline-journey that presents you with the daily life of the 17th century. The house boasts The Parlour, The Gentleman's Retreat, The Cabinet of Curiosities, The Retreat Room, The Lady's Bedroom, The Housekeeper's Room, The Servants' Hall, The Courtyard, The Kitchen Passage, The Kitchen, and The Scullery. Oh, you will love this
