Tour preview of Britain's awe-inspiring prehistoric monument hits 1,000,000 views.
London, UK (PRWEB) May 8, 2007 -- London-based tour operator British Tours Ltd, who specialise in private tours of England, Scotland and Wales, last week received their millionth visitor to their virtual reality preview of Stonehenge at Dawn.
The image, in Quicktime format, captures a 360 degree panorama of Britain's awesome prehistoric monument, taken from within the inner circle at dawn, and accompanies their private access Stonehenge tours.
The access tours can be taken at Dawn, or for late risers, at Dusk, when one can enter the circle privately and walk among the giant Sarsen stones weighing up to 50 tonnes each. The visits offer a rare opportunity to truly marvel at how the stones of such monumental scale were quarried, transported and erected 5,000 years ago when the only tools available were made of wood, bone and stone.
On their usual day tours from London, British Tours Ltd combines Stonehenge with several other historic destinations such as Bath, Oxford and Windsor Castle. The Avebury Stone Circle - Europe's largest stone circle a few miles from its more famous neighbour - can also be included. Stonehenge is also covered in their 2 and 3 day tours of England.
The access tours are available at Sunrise or Dusk from March to September, or at sunrise from December (except 18-28) to February; usual daytime visits run throughout the year. As availability is limited, clients are advised to offer two or three preferred slots at Dawn or Dusk when inquiring.
British Tours Ltd has specialised in private tours of London and throughout England, Scotland and Wales since the 1950's. Their team of tour guides include a Professor of Archaeology, Dr Sugden, who has written the official guide books to Stonehenge.
