What a wonderful day! Laurence was an exceptional guide to this remarkable landscape. My husband and I wanted to go deeper into the history of Avebury and Stonehenge than we knew we would be able to with standard tours. Laurence was a font of knowledge and so adaptable to our specific interests. He was flexible with pick up and drop of points which allowed us to schedule this day easily within our tight schedule. If you are looking for a deeper understanding of Neolithic and Bronze Age sites of England, then I give Laurence the highest possible recommendation!

My husband and I were very pleased with our private tour to Stonehenge, Avebury, and Salisbury Cathedral. Laurence is a very informative guide and we learned a lot about Stonehenge and the trip to Avebury...they're not just a bunch of rocks! We loved the history and theories about them and enjoyed the entire day.

This tour was the highlight of our time in England. Laurence took us to Avebury, West Kennet Long Barrow, Woodhenge, Durrington Walls and a few more. He was knowledgable and approachable. We asked lots of questions. When our final destination turned out to be closed, he took us to another place of interest, driving farther and longer than originally planned.

Lauence took my wife and I around the Avebury and Stone Henge area. We had a great time and enjoyed Laurence very much. I have been in this area and visited these sites many years ago, but I learned so much more about the history and the connections within the Sillbury Plains. Thank you so much Laurence.

Nearly a million people visit Stone Henge, Avebury and the surrounding sites each year and only a sliver get to experience their true importance and meaning. Laurence's knowledge and ability to weave the history into stories made the stones come alive for us. It was a day we will never forget. It costs a good deal of money and time to travel to these locations, to not get the most out of the experience is a waste. Book a day with Oldbury Tours and you will be very glad you did.
