Why a Glastonbury town private tour works for a group
A Glastonbury town private tour suits the way this place is laid out. The Abbey sits on Magdalene Street, Chalice Well lies at the foot of the Tor, and each of them sells its own ticket. Chalice Well is a 10 minute walk from the Town Hall and about 5 minutes from the top of the High Street.
The Abbey is also the home of the Arthur and Grail stories, which the operator itself presents as tradition rather than proven history. Four private options are listed below, from a London day trip to a five hour walk around Cheddar, and each has a different party in mind.
The four private options
London to Glastonbury and Wells (8 hours). A private pickup in London, visits to the Tor, the Abbey and Chalice Well, a lunch break in Wells and then Wells Cathedral, Vicars' Close and the Bishop's Palace before the drive back. It suits a couple or a family of four who want the whole Somerset circuit in one day.
London to Glastonbury, transport only (12 hours). A private return journey with a stop at Avalon Marshes Nature Reserve, a cider tasting and spoken word or poetry. There is no guide on this one and you climb the Tor on your own. It fits friends who prefer a free day in town with the travel taken care of.
Holy Grail driving tour (11.5 hours). Private transport and pickup, parking fees and a local guide who explains the history and the myths. Choose it if the legends are the reason you are coming.
Cheddar private walk (5 hours). A guided walk starting at the Riverside Inn on Cliff Street, with viewpoints, village stories and pub stops. It is the one for a larger group of friends, since the price covers up to 10 people. Tickets for the Cheddar caves and gorge attractions are extra.

What a private tour costs per person
Prices are starting prices from October 2026, in pounds. The group prices divide as follows:
- London day trip with Wells: £600 for up to 4, so £150 each with four people, £200 with three.
- Cheddar walk: £990 for up to 10, so £99 each with ten people, £165 with six and £247.50 with four.
- Holy Grail driving tour: from £338 per person.
- London transport only: from £100 per person, without a guide.
Admission is extra on all four.
Private or small group?
A small-group day from London that covers Stonehenge, Glastonbury and Avebury costs £201 per person and includes the entry to Stonehenge and Glastonbury Abbey. It runs for 11 hours in a minibus with a guide, and Glastonbury gets a share of the day, with a photo stop at the Tor. The private London day trip gives you the whole day in Somerset, and with four people it comes to £150 each before admissions. If Stonehenge is on your list, the small group is the better fit. If Glastonbury and Wells are the plan, go private.
