"A big highlight for us was David Howell's guided tour of Stonehenge and environs. He spoke with feeling as well as a deep knowledge."
Christine, USA
My favourite experience was being guided through Stonehenge and environs with Daivd who also provided a picnic under the trees. I would happily make use of their services again. "
Rick, USA
" We had a guided tour of the greater Stonehenge area with so much more information than I expected. Don't just go and see the stones, you will be missing a lot."
