Bath to Stonehenge, evening tour, public transit?

Posted by on

We've booked an evening visit to Stonehenge, the English Heritage tour where we are taken inside the circle; it does not include transportation to the visitor center. It's Thursday, 14 May at 1900 (7 PM). Now we're in a pickle because there don't seem to be any buses to get us there and back.
We can take the train from Bath to Salisbury and back, but the Stonehenge Tour bus last pickup is 1815 (6:15 PM).

Since there will be other people with the English Heritage tour, we might be able to get a car ride back to Salisbury or even Bath, but that doesn't seem like a wise plan! (Actually it doesn't seem like any plan).

So what do we do? Arrange a taxi? Call for Uber?

Here are the taxi companies our B&B host in Amesbury recommended for our early morning inner-circle access:

Value Cars - 01722 505050
Stu's Taxi - 07985 530091
1st Choice - 01980 622 666
Andy's Big White Taxi - 07525 176 749

We used Stu's Taxi. He picked us up at the airport in Southhampton the day before (as we were coming from Edinburgh). He dropped us off in Salisbury and took our luggage to our B&B for us, so we could tour the cathedral and see the Magna Carta. (We chose to take the bus from Salisbury to Amesbury, but he would have picked us up, if we had wished.) He picked us up very, very early in the morning from our B&B to take us to Stonehenge. He returned to take us back to our B&B afterwards, so we could have breakfast and pack up. Then he picked us up again and took us to the train station in Salisbury for our onward trip to Exeter. Stu was great, and he simplified what seemed like a complicated visit, otherwise.

This was 10 years ago, however, so I can't guarantee that Stu or any of the others are still in business.
