Salisbury City Guides
Custom Tours
We can provide tailor-made tours, not just in and around Salisbury but further afield as well.
In Salisbury enjoy a city walk at your own pace or highlighting your own specific interests, perhaps adding a guided tour of the cathedral, Cathedral Close, and Magna Carta.
Head out of Salisbury and meet your guide at various locations such as the Stonehenge or Avebury World Heritage Sites. Learn about the origins of Salisbury up at Old Sarum and head further afield to towns such as Wilton, Marlborough and Devizes. If you want to get out into the countryside Salisbury is within easy reach of the World Heritage Landscape of the Jurassic Coast with its fascinating geology and stunning coastline, the New Forest National Park with its beautiful woodland and forest lawns full of free-roaming ponies, donkeys, cattle and pigs, as well as Wiltshire's beautiful and historic downland, with its exceptional ecology and archeology.
Not only can your guide meet you at the site, with a larger group they can join you on your coach and we can also offer specialist driver guides as well.
Below there are some examples of tours that we can offer, however if you are interested in another location, or would like some suggestions, please feel free to contact us. Our contact details can be found at the bottom of this page or on our Contact Page.
Explore Stonehenge
Explore Stonehenge and discover what has been fascinating people for thousands of years! Spend time with one of our knowledgeable guides and hear the history and latest theories about the stones and their origins. Why this spot? Where did they come from? And much more besides!
Salisbury and its Cathedral
If the scheduled city walk doesn't work for you, you would like to dig deeper into your own interests, or would like to have a guided tour of the cathedral interior, then why not create your own city walk with your own guide.
Towns and Villages
Join your guide to explore other towns and villages in the region, such as the neighbouring town of Wilton with its stunning Italianate church, Marlborough with its magnificent High Street and Devizes with its canal and famous flight of locks, and many more besides. There are many other places to explore and as regional experts we would happily make recommendations!

We learned a great deal which we would never have known without a guide. She took us to locations which we would not have found, and gave us the background in an informative and amusing way.
