Yes I searched the threads but most pointed to a dealer invite. When I first purchased mine I took it to my local (3 hour drive away) dealer. That was two years ago. Since then I've had it services locally. So I'm not getting much of a response from the dealer. I'm going to be over from the 12th to the 17th. Whole family along with brother and his family. We're planning on renting a van to drive out to Stonehenge and I figured could use it to get to factory also. There are only 4 of us in the group interested in a tour. Yes, two dads and the two boys. Can anyone point me in a direction as to where/who to inquire.

Much appreciated.

Dealers organise tours, AMOC organise tours. Then there are various other groups (e.g. Supercar Driver) that gave tours

So there are tours going on pretty much most days of the week (albeit numbers are limited in each one)

At this stage I don't think you have much choice but to call Aston Martin direct (or tweet Andy Palmer) and plead with them to squeeze you in to someone's else tour

Have you tried Works Services to tour NP?

I went on a factory tour earlier in the year and it was a fabulous day. It probably had more to do with the long test drive of the DB11 I got thrown in, but the factory itself was great too. My tour consisted of 2 people, just me and my son. We got the real VIP treatment and the hosts were great, nothing was too much trouble. I managed to get mine directly from Aston Martin HQ, I wrote a letter to them asking for some goodwill toward a repair on my car, which was declined. I therefore asked for a complimentary factory tour and they duly obliged. I thought I was just getting a passenger ride in the DB11 but it turned out to be be an hours drive with a host. You don't ask, you don't get.
