From an urban pickup in London you slip into a Mercedes and head west, trading the city’s geometry for Wiltshire’s open plain and the low, primeval silhouette of Stonehenge. The private format pairs comfortable travel with an expert guide who leads a personal visit to the stones and the onsite exhibition, unpacking the site’s archaeology and artefacts along the way.
