About this tour

What to expect
You'll depart Southampton in a private vehicle and head west into Wiltshire. At Stonehenge, you'll walk the perimeter of the stone circle—the experience is open-air and exposed, so weather matters. Bring layers. You'll have time to observe the monument from different angles and consider the theories about its purpose. The drive to Salisbury takes roughly an hour. Once there, your guide will point out architectural details of the Cathedral, explaining its construction and significance. The interior is cool and reverent; you may spend 45 minutes to an hour inside. Salisbury's centre is compact and walkable, so you can browse on your own if time allows.
Good to know
Entrance fees to Stonehenge and the Cathedral are not included—budget separately. Wear comfortable walking shoes and weatherproof clothing; exposure is significant at Stonehenge. Groups larger than eight aren't permitted. Cruise passengers must provide ship details and timings at booking to ensure on-time return. Collapsible wheelchairs are accommodated with an accompanying helper.
