Itinerary
Day 1
Pickup from Southampton Cruise Port, private drive to Stonehenge (Salisbury/Amesbury), 90-minute visit including the Stonehenge Visitor Centre and café, then direct transfer to London (Paddington). Service adapted for senior comfort with step-free options and regular rest breaks. The agenda item from the original activity is the Stonehenge visit in Salisbury (SP4 7DE).
Meet & Greet — Pickup at Mayflower Cruise Terminal, Southampton
Driver will meet you at the disembarkation/arrival area of the Mayflower Cruise Terminal holding a nameboard. We'll assist with luggage and escort you to the private vehicle (sedan or van depending on your booking). Please have photo ID handy for port staff if requested.
Tips from local experts:
- Driver meets by the Arrival gate — look for a nameboard with your lead passenger name and stay at the gate until located.
- If you need port assistance with heavy luggage ask the crew before disembarking and tell the driver so they can meet you at the quickest exit.
- The Mayflower terminal has step-free access; request extra assistance in advance if you use a mobility aid so the driver can position the vehicle close to the exit.
Scenic transfer to Stonehenge (comfortable, climate-controlled)
Drive across Hampshire into Wiltshire with a short rest/stretch midway if needed. The vehicle is air-conditioned and the driver will pause for comfort or restroom breaks on request.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver for a short comfort stop about halfway if anyone needs to stretch legs or use a restroom — it keeps the journey comfortable for seniors.
- Keep medications or essential items in a small bag you can access in the vehicle rather than in stored luggage.
- If you use a mobility aid, let us know before departure so the driver can help load/unload and park as close to the entrance as possible.
Stonehenge — Visitor Centre & 90-minute visit
Arrive at the Stonehenge Visitor Centre. Use the accessible shuttle from the centre car park to the stones (the shuttle and visitor centre are step-free). You have approximately 90 minutes for the shuttle, short walk to the viewing areas/platform, audio guide or guided explanation and time to take photos from the accessible viewing route.
Tips from local experts:
- Stonehenge Visitor Centre has step-free access and accessible toilets; request the shuttle seating if walking long distances is difficult (ask staff on arrival).
- The closest viewing point uses a short boardwalk and viewing platform — bring a lightweight folding stool if needed for extra seating but be mindful of restrictions near the stones.
- Avoid the busiest times by visiting earlier in the morning (this schedule targets a quieter arrival) and use the audio guide or ask staff for a short orientation to reduce unnecessary walking.
Light lunch & rest — Stonehenge Visitor Centre Café
Relax at the Visitor Centre Café with accessible seating. The café offers hot meals, sandwiches and a selection of lighter options. This is a good, short rest before the drive to London.
Tips from local experts:
- The café has step-free access and accessible toilets adjacent — choose a table near the entrance for easier movement.
- If you have dietary needs, tell staff when ordering; the café usually has options for common needs (low-salt, vegetarian) but bring snacks if you have strict requirements.
- Use this time to refill water bottles and use the toilets before the next drive — facilities can be busier later in the day.
Direct transfer from Stonehenge to London (Paddington)
After the visit, continue by private vehicle to central London (Paddington Station). The driver will keep luggage onboard and can arrange a short comfort stop en route if required. Estimated drive time varies with traffic — this plan allows time for typical summer midday traffic.
Tips from local experts:
- If you prefer a different London drop-off (Heathrow, St Pancras, a central hotel), tell us when booking — Paddington is used here as a central, step-free hub with taxis and underground lifts.
- Traffic on approaches to London can increase in the early afternoon; request the driver to keep you updated so you’re prepared for small delays.
- For mobility comfort, ask the driver to set climate control to a comfortable temperature and ensure easy access to a light blanket or cushion for added support.
Arrival & assistance — Drop-off at Paddington Station (central London)
Driver will help with unloading luggage and escort you to the station entrance or to a taxi/meet-and-greet point. Paddington has step-free access to many platforms and accessible taxi ranks; driver will confirm the exact drop-off location per your onward travel needs.
Tips from local experts:
- Paddington Station has lifts and step-free routes to many platforms — ask staff for the quickest accessible route to your platform or exit.
- If you have onward rail or airport connections, allow the driver to confirm the best drop-off point (main entrance or taxi rank) to shorten transfers.
- Keep a mobile phone ready to confirm final directions or to call for assistance; the driver can wait a short time while you check tickets or make arrangements.
