Stonehenge and Bath: 2-Day Private Tour from Southampton with Overnight in Bath
Select participants and date
The van eases out of Southampton before sunrise and the English countryside unrolls in quiet green waves. By the time the ring of ancient sarsens comes into view, the light is low and the stones sit like a weathered chorus on the Salisbury Plain—still, patient, and oddly modern in their silence. Over the next 48 hours a local guide born and raised in Bath leads the small private group through two very different kinds of heritage: the prehistoric mystique of Stonehenge and the Georgian grace of Bath.

Adventure Tips
Dress for unpredictable weather
Bring a waterproof jacket and quick-dry layers—rain is common and cobbles are slippery when wet.
Wear supportive shoes
Cobblestones and short uphill walks through Bath require sturdy, comfortable footwear rather than sandals.
Pack light for luggage limits
Tours allow a maximum of four large suitcases plus four carry-ons per booking—contact the operator if you exceed this.
Allow extra time for the Roman Baths
Guides cannot accompany you inside the museum—factor in 90–120 minutes to use the audio guide and explore at leisure.

History
Bath’s Roman Baths were built around a geothermal spring and later redeveloped into the city’s 18th-century Georgian architecture; Stonehenge dates to the Neolithic and Bronze Age, aligned with solar events.
Conservation
Both sites manage heavy visitor pressure—stick to paths at Stonehenge, respect barriers, and consider off-peak visits to reduce impact; support local businesses to sustain Bath’s heritage economy.
