Our guide, Nicholas (Nick) was a wealth of knowledge, funny, and a pleasure to be with for 11-12 hours. Thank you Nick for sharing lots of history of not just London, but also the entire United Kingdom. The highlight was being inside/among the stones (where the public does not have access). You are with a group but get “private” access to Stonehenge. Thanks also to our driver Jason for the safe trip.”
