View Article  Unlock the Stonehenge’s secret...
Stonehenge Tours

Once upon a time, somewhere in the South West of beautiful England, some men started the construction of a mysterious monument. They put up many huge rocks which created later a wide inner circle in the green Salisbury Plain.


5000 years later, the Stonehenge site keeps on raising questions and various theories (the heavy mystery which shrouds it). Some people think that Stonehenge was a temple, a place of worship where the druids and Celts met and prayed. For others, the stone ring was a prehistoric astronomical observatory because of its specific orientation. However, some recent researches revealed that the site was rather a burial place.


Nowadays, still nobody knows the truth. Stonehenge keeps all its secrets well locked up...


If you are as curious as me about discovering the fascinating story of Stonehenge, be aware of many tours which are organized by Gift-Tours.com in order to satisfy your thirst for adventure. Special deals allow you to visit the famous site and other must-see attractions nearby such as the imposing Windsor Castle or the lovely Georgian city of Bath, famous for its old Roman Baths.


One of the offers of Gift-Tours.com enables you to visit Stonehenge at sunset or sunrise. I would advise you to go there at one of these times as the site looks then the most wonderful! I’m sure, you won’t be disappointed...


Don’t wait any longer and enter the legend of Stonehenge and its marvellous mysteries!

St Paul's Cathedral


Did you know that the current St Paul’s Cathedral, or Cathedral Church of Paul the Apostle, is actually the fifth in order? The previous churches have all burnt down or decayed over the years, since the first was built in AD 604. The present Cathedral was built in the 17th century and you don’t need to know a lot about its history to understand that it’s been through a lot, both good and bad. It literally breathes history from over the years.


Neither need you be religious to appreciate the sightseeing tours around the area. It does not only tell you a more than 400 year long story, but the architecture around the place is also amazing. One must admit that the St Paul’s Cathedral designed by Sir Christopher Wren is a quite massive building! What might be interesting to know is that the church bell, Great Paul, is the heaviest in the whole United Kingdom with its 17 tons. How the heck did they manage to hang it up in the first place?


St Paul’s Cathedral is both for tourists who want to go sightseeing around the area and for anyone who needs a quiet moment to pray. The latter is naturally completely free of charge. For seightseeing, book your ticket online with gift-tours.com!

Being held for 35 years now the Medieval Banquet, taking place in the vaulted cellars of the Ivory House is becoming a little piece in history itself. And bearing in mind the impressive number of visitors every year, nothing implies that it’s going to be a part of the past any time soon. Located just a stone's throw from the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, the Medieval Banquet is a perfect escape from our time’s electronic devices and lack of chivalrous
manners for a couple of hours.

For the feast of four courses and unlimited beer and wine, King Henry VIII and his company of knights and ladies, minstrels and players will be joining you. Raise your tankard in the manners of bygone times and flickering torchlights, and make a toast to the fact that we don’t have to deal with leprosy any more. (Phew...)
Cheers!
