Private driver guided tour Stonehenge

We had the sincere pleasure of sharing our day with Mr. Christopher Peck from London Country Tours during a motor trip for a private inner circle sunset tour of Stonehenge on Sunday, June 15th, 2025. Hampton Court Palace (home to Henry VIII and William & Mary) was our first stop. It was a delight to see this historic place. The palace, the gardens, and the history are amazing. And for most of us tourists, there is never enough time to see it all. Before our appointed time at Stonehenge, we asked for a recommendation for a good place to enjoy a meal, Christopher smiled and took us straight away to a wonderful restaurant in Woodford Downs called The Wheatsheaf, fabulous and quite worthy, especially since it was Father’s Day. This restaurant is located about 15 minutes from the Stonehenge entry. Although we anticipated enjoying Stonehenge, it was truly amazing and magical to be inside the stones and see the sunset. Just fabulous! However, with Christopher’s thorough knowledge of the site and its history, our understanding of this precious bit of British heritage was greatly enhanced! After our visit concluded, Christopher then drove us to a spot a few miles away called Woodhenge! It is a timber monument with six oval rings of posts. It is also quite magical and built presumably around the same time as Stonehenge. It was an extra treat! Throughout it all Christopher’s quiet humor and engaging personality made us comfortable and made us feel we had a new friend “across the pond”! Suffice to say we will not only request this fine gentleman and excellent, safe driver when we return but will definitely recommend London Country Tours to our friends and family should they venture to London and its environs and any time! A quick shout out to George from StonehengeTours for putting us together with Christopher. Thank you Christopher and London Country Tours!

David Stubbs was excellent in every way, giving us a personalized tour to Stonehenge and then further to the lower Cotswolds areas. He was on time and provided so much commentary about London in our way to the countryside. He was able to answer all of our questions about history and current events. David prepared us for the Stonehenge visit with historical facts and best spots to not miss. Afterwards, we visited two small villages with the flavor of the countryside. He reserved a pub lunch for us and led us to the best areas of town for sightseeing and shopping. I highly recommend this way to tour areas of the UK. David was excellent!!

Our guide Eddie was attentive and engaging, and delivered us from site to site flawlessly. We traveled from Oxford to London via our tour sites, leaving and arriving on time.
