Astral Tours pioneered small group tours out of London. Sadly they went out of business in October 2007. This tour is very similar in content to their Magical Tour.

Travel is in a 16 seat luxury touring bus, a dedicated guide means a maximum group size of 15 people.
We leave London behind and head west to the rolling chalk hills of Wiltshire, here on windswept Salisbury Plain the great, mysterious Neolithic circle of Stonehenge stands high on the horizon. Our first stop of the day will give you a chance to learn more about this monument, of its builders and those that worshipped there.

There are many unanswered questions and many more theories and ideas that are open to debate, your guide will explain what is known and what may never be known and then leave you to explore and ponder its awe inspiring presence.
Onwards to Isle of Avalon, through backroads of villages built of flint and thatch, from chalk downland into rolling limestone hills to Glastonbury Tor where legend tells us Arthur was brought after being mortally wounded in battle. We climb to the top to visit the ruined church of St Michael and admire the view of England's West Country laid out like a carpet below.

In the ruins of the once great Glastonbury Abbey we find the gravesite of Arthur and learn of older legends like that of Joseph of Aramathea, the Holy Grail and the Crown of Thorns.

After exploring the unique shops in the town we head over to the Chalice Well Gardens, drink from the spring and learn of the fate of the holy chalice from the Last Supper.
We end the day at the stone circle complex at Avebury. A collection of standing stones much larger than that of Stonehenge. Our guide will also reveal many other Neolithic sites in the area such as enigmatic Silbury Hill (Europe's tallest prehistoric structure), the Devil's chair and the Barber-Surgeon stone.

This full day tour every Friday from Central London at 8.00.
Returns to London before 19:00.

The International Friends Tours Difference
 International Friends Tours are unique, the only mainstream operator of day tours from London operating small group minibuses daily throughout the year.
The maximum number of passengers is 16 and you get a guide offering a much more accessible and personalised experience than the big tours.
Unlike the big buses, International Friends make a point of exploring the country lanes, not the main highways, so you see the real England.
