Stonehenge, England: Why It's An Obviously Great Idea To Take A Travel Tour Package Instead
Stonehenge, England: Why Take A Tour Instead
While the sun sluggishly lit up the whole of London, I was still in a choleric state. It’s because of the lack of morning coffee, which I failed to drink that particular morning, and mostly because of the idea that we are going on a “paid” trip to see the Stonehenge. We paid for a tour, forcryingoutloud!
We sat in a comfortable travel bus with clusters of travelers, oldies, Asians, soloists, families, young friends, mixed combinations. Everyone’s friendly in London, by the end of the trip – we became friends with more than a few people in the bus! We made friends with fellow Chinese travelers who were as noisy and excited as we were. #asiafolksinthehouse!
Soon after, everyone’s ushered to get off the bus, with audio gadgets and jackets on. Breathing the same air as the Stonehenge, finally! The guide led us to the queue and the next steps, and then, we were walking towards the UNESCO Heritage Site and world-renowned celestial playground.
Seeing the Stonehenge stand tall was an eye-opener. You'll feel your third eye slowly opening! Haha! The gushing winds made our minds numb on how to explain why such stones were standing tall.
The audio guides and murmurs of people were oddly helping us appreciate the Stonehenge even more, but I think the key takeaway from the Stonehenge experience is that being stoned is one thing, but actual stones can really rock your world! :)
Can’t believe I’m saying this, my 19 year old self would probably still disagree with me on this… but, have to admit, it helps to take paid travel tours in first world countries, once in a while. Especially if it doesn’t dampen your inner traveller kind of gusto. You get to appreciate a well-liked place in a different kind of comfortable excitement. #oldschoolisstillcool #budgetnomore.

Hi I am planning to go to UK next month and still not finalized my itinerary if I will go for tour package or not, Can I ask if you can suggest any travel agency have good tour package going to UK-Edinburgh-Scotland.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Jepoy
Hey Jepoy! Sounds like a good travel plan - I'm absolutely sure you will enjoy Scotland!
ReplyDeleteI recommend creating your own itinerary if you like enjoying more time doing some exploring. :) This is what I normally go for, and I have never regretted it (yet). Scotland is a beauty, and taking time to enjoy it at your own pace is a must.
However, if you are pressed for time and don't mind spending a few more bucks, you can opt for short day tours, which you can actually avail at the airport when you arrive. No need to worry about booking tours before you arrive there because there are tons of options you can choose from when you are there.
Enjoy!
