This was a great experience because I had been wanting to visit Stonehenge for so long! I was in London for a few days, so a tour from there was perfect. Thank you to our guide for making the tour incredible with lots of information and stories! I learned a lot about why Stonehenge might have been built and how. It was fascinating to learn about the different stages of its construction over 5,000 years. I definitely recommend this tour!!!
It was amazing to visit Stonehenge in the evening and walk inside the stone circle without a huge number of people around us. The guide explained everything clearly and really brought prehistoric times to life. My favorite was hearing about the legends about Stonehenge, how the stones come from Wales, and how people figured out how to align the stones with the solstice. It was really interesting!

LEARN ABOUT STONEHENGE FROM AN EXPERT GUIDE
Stonehenge also appears in legends. One states that it was created by the wizard Merlin, who transported the stones from Ireland using magic. Another legend says that Danish invaders built it. There is even a modern legend about the origins of Stonehenge, and it says that it is a landing area for alien spaceships! According to experts though, Stonehenge might have been a religious site or some kind of observatory. The reason for this claim is that Stonehenge is aligned with the Sun and Moon, and ancient people might have used it to tell time, so they could start growing crops. Maybe they also used it to track solar eclipses. Some scientists suggest that it might have been a place of healing, as bones with deformities have been found in the area surrounding Stonehenge. Even though Stonehenge's purpose is not known, it was still a marvel of engineering - at least 1,000 people were needed to transport the large stones, and there were 80 of them!
HOW OLD IS STONEHENGE?
As your guide will explain, Stonehenge is about 5,000 years old! People used wooden posts before they put up the stones. Around 2,600 BCE, the smaller stones called the bluestones were erected, and they originate 240 km away - in Wales! The bigger stones called the sarsen stones were put up a few centuries later and weigh about 25 tons! Stonehenge's history goes back even further - 9,000 years ago people put up tree trunks close to the monument, possibly to mark events. Learn more about the purpose of Stonehenge with your guide.
