Mysterious Stonehenge, 5,000 years ago the huge 40 tonne stones were dragged from over 280 miles away in Wales. Who built it and why remains a mystery today. Some say that it was built as a religious temple, or an astronomical clock. Stonehenge continues to enthrall the imagination and captivate the heart of every visitor. eXpect the best from gr8 Xpectations travel company - Londons only mini coach operator. Thoe Original and still the best! Our specially designed Renaults and Mercedes Sprinters can travel anywhere a car can, reaching places the larger coach finds impossible. Luggage is generally stored under-floor and you sit high above the cars and hedgerows enjoying good all round views. Days of variety with something for all. Seeing both famous sights (when the crowds have left) and the not so familiar. Entrance fees (when with your guide) are included in the tour price. Please note that the detailed itineraries printed in these web pages should be read as guidelines, sites listed should be regarded as those possible, not that all will be seen. You will be part of determining which are seen on a daily basis as we mould the tour to suit participants Small groups mean we can change our daily schedule, take advantage of weather conditions, enjoy local events and your particular interest. Each evening the group discusses the following day's alternatives and there is scope for choice

Astral Travels Tours - After a decade of developing the small group day tour concept using small minibuses and high quality guides, Astral Tours sadly ceased trading in October 2007. Due to public demand and the necessity to continue operating such high quality unique tours - 'Great Expectations' (an established tour operator) has teamed up with the original Astral guides, so the old favourites - Stones and Bones, Magical Tour, History and Mystery etc will continue to depart from London
