Stonehenge is a "must see" for any visitor. This Stonehenge Special Access tour offers something different, giving you privileged access, behind the ropes within the Stone Circle itself, walking among the stones.
These special access sessions at Stonehenge only happen outside Stonehenge normal public opening hours, at dawn (and in the evening too between March and September).
Only 30 people are allowed on Stonehenge for each special access session. Tickets are eagerly sought after, often sold out weeks if not months ahead and need to be arranged well in advance to avoid disappointment.
During the last two weeks of June the only way to gain special access to Stonehenge is during the Stonehenge Summer Solstice.

Individual dates on which tours operate do not always follow a regular pattern.
Tickets are allocated by Stonehenge. Demand for tickets far exceeds supply, its a matter of a tour runs whenever tickets can be obtained.
There is no Stonehenge Special Access the last two weeks in June nor late September through to early December so no tours operate at these times.
Due to Coronavirus, many special access tours have been cancelled this year (2020). Premium Tours have already released dates early for 2021 and 2022 to help customers with planning ahead. These dates are listed in our table below.
For remaining 2020 dates, please check carefully the tour is still running when going through to book tickets.
Demand far outstrips supply of tickets - Stonehenge Special Access tours are routinely sold out far in advance.
Please note - Special Access visits are available most but not all months of the year. No tours run during October and November and last two weeks of June.

The morning tour goes direct to Stonehenge, just under two hours from London. You will enter the stone circle just as the sun begins to rise, for a unique, private viewing.
Following your breathtaking experience at Stonehenge you will be ready for a good breakfast! On to The George Inn - a 13th century inn with plenty of charm.
In the afternoon you can enjoy the delights of Georgian Bath, visiting the Roman Baths and Pump Room, before returning to London.
Tour pick-up: 5.30am Millennium Gloucester (Casino entrance).
Tour ends: near Victoria train station around 4pm
Setting out from London, the longest drive of the day is the first leg to Bath arriving at lunch time. There is plenty of time to visit Bath with entrance into the Roman Baths and an exploration of Georgian Bath.
By the late afternoon it is a short drive to Lacock, a small medieval village used in many films as a film set, where your guide will take you on a delightful walk, exploring the atmospheric lanes and architecture. In Lacock you will then visit the 13th century George Inn for an optional early supper.
Following Lacock, it is an hour's drive to Stonehenge for the highlight of the show - the special access sunset visit after Stonehenge has closed to the public.
Tour pick-up: 11.10am Millennium Gloucester (Casino entrance).
Tour ends: near Victoria train station around 9.30pm
Built nearly 5,000 years ago, Stonehenge is the most popular prehistoric monument in the world. Most visitors to the site are not allowed direct access to the stones. With Premium Tours you get that access, with a private viewing of the mysterious monoliths, at their best - either at dawn or at dusk.
You will enter the stone circle itself and stand beside the mighty Sarsen rocks towering above. Your guide will explain the history of this ancient site, pointing out the altar, slaughter and heel stones, above which the sun rises dramatically on the summer solstice.
There will be time to enjoy the peace, away from the crowds, as you experience Stonehenge at its most mystical and atmospheric best. Not to be missed!
Lacock is a picturesque village dating back to the Saxon era. Many of the beautiful buildings originally formed part of an extensive monastic complex and are now owned by The National Trust.
So pretty is the village that it has provided the setting for many movies and television dramas including Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and the Harry Potter movies.
You can enjoy a delightful walk around Lacock, before heading off to The George Inn, a vintage English pub built in 1361. Here you can purchase a traditional home cooked English breakfast or supper, viewing the pictures of well known actors in the walls, where they have been filming in the village.
Bath, a World Heritage Site, is a beautiful Georgian city with delightful crescents, terraces and architecture. You'll see Bath Abbey and the much-photographed Pulteney Bridge, modelled on the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge in Florence.
Your guide will also conduct an optional walking tour to show you a charming 17th-century Sally Lunn tea room and the Jane Austen Museum among many other hidden treasures.
Lastly, you will visit the key attraction for visitors, the Roman Baths; a magnificent temple bathing complex built using the natural resource of the only hot spring in Britain, and named the Sacred Spring. You will see the water's source and walk where Romans walked on the ancient stone pavements and of course see the baths themselves.
You are provided with an audio tour device (in eight languages) so you can visit at your own pace. The Roman Baths is the best preserved Roman spa from the ancient world.
Prices are displayed on the banner link below. Major credit and debit cards are accepted. You will be emailed a confirmation with a booking reference after reservation. The booking reference and the name of the person ordering is all that you need to quote when joining the tour, there are no paper tickets.

Coach service from London on 20th or 21st of June
Adult from £94
Choose between two options:
1. Direct sunrise tour from London
2. Day trip with Avebury & Lacock and night before celebrations
