The Prehistoric Wiltshire tour (Long Barrow, Avebury & Stonehenge) was my 2d tour with Matt & I loved it. Matt is knowledgeable, informative (but definitely not boring) & a genuinely nice guy. Avebury is such a large site but Matt gives you the info you need to understand it (to the extent we can)...and you can touch the stones (unlike Stonehenge). And of course Stonehenge is exactly as advertised. We went 2 days before the summer solstice so saw the preparations being made at both sites for the expected crowds...I wouldn't go on the solstice myself. I love touring with Matt & look forward to doing another tour with him in the future.

Our day with Matthias was the highlight of our week in the UK. Not only was Matthias incredibly well versed on the (mysterious and debated ) history of Stonehenge and Avebury;he was full of information on the entire area, history and culture. We had a lovely Sunday Roast at a pub midway through. It was very comfortable to spend time with him and we never lacked for interesting conversation. The car was really nice and our every need was considered. I've already shared his info with several discerning friends and can't recommend him enough. Worth every penny.
