Tour Operators in London do not offer pick-ups from individual hotels throughout the city. London is one of the biggest cities in the world and therefore, this would take a lot of time. Using the London Underground is the fastest way to travel to our departure points.
Our policy is to leave early to get ahead of all the traffic that can often delay a journey in London. This means that we arrive at our first stop, such as Stonehenge before crowds arrive! We firmly believe that is this great for our clients, as sites can become very congested with visitors. We understand that the early start means you have to wake up earlier during your holidays, but it is well worth the effort to have a much more enjoyable and relaxed day’s touring. Most hotels provide an early morning breakfast option!
Please arrive at your meeting point at least 10 minutes before departure and please allow ample time for your journey, as it is not uncommon to have slight delays on the London Underground. If using a taxi or private hire service, please be aware journeys take longer at peak times and allow ample time for your journey, especially on weekdays.
