Tour Transfer & Stopovers Between Southampton & London
By far the majority of cruises disembark by about 08:30 at the Southampton Cruise Terminals. So why not make your transfer to London or departure airport a tour to remember, rather than a couple of hours along the motorway.
We can supply a vehicle with driver or driver/guide to show you places like Stonehenge as well as the English Countryside, perhaps taking lunch in a typical English village pub. The vehicle can securely store your luggage and deliver you to your London hotel or airport.
Of course you can tour going in the opposite direction before you board your cruise too.
In addition to the classic tourist places, we can take you off the tourist track and show you the real England, of thatched cottages, Norman churches, country pubs and cream teas.
Along the way we'll explain the history, show you ancient places not in the guide books and tell you about the English themselves.
Its very cost effective if you can put a group together and hire a small bus, perhaps using the roll call of your cruise on Cruise Critic or similar board.
1 Hour Stopover At Stonehenge Between Southampton & London
 |

 |
The world famous Stonehenge is just a short detour when traveling between Southampton & Heathrow. With one hour visiting Stonehenge (the most time, most people need) the entire journey will take around 3.5 hours. Central London hotels and Gatwick will take about 45 minutes longer.
The basic service is just for a 'normal' driver with no guiding, (you get a complementary audio guide on entrance to Stonehenge). Most of the drivers are knowledgeable but are not professional guides. If they provide you with informed comment then treat it as an unexpected bonus.
Guided Tour Transfer Between Southampton & London Visiting Stonehenge
We also have limited availability for tour transfers with driver/guides that specialise in Stonehenge and things Neolithic.
The driver/guide will provide full professional commentary along the way. In the Southampton to London directions the most popular itinerary has a quick photo stop at Salisbury Cathedral before traveling to Old Sarum, an old Iron Age hill fort and Norman Castle.
A full briefing will be provided about all aspects relating to understanding Stonehenge including earth energies, astronomy and Pagan religions. By the time you get to Stonehenge you will understand the Stonehenge landscape like few other visitors. The driver/guide will also go inside the monument with you providing guiding.

Tour Vehicle, Luggage, Guiding, Meeting etc.
We use small buses and comfortable cars and MPV's varying in capacity between 3 and 16 seats, according to the size of your party. All buses can carry 16 large suitcases plus hand luggage, the largest buses can carry 20 or more cases. Larger still are full size touring coaches accommodating up to 49 that can be quoted for on request.
This is a private tour exclusive to your party. Ad hoc changes and unscheduled stops on the day can be made in agreement with the driver. As long as what is requested is legal it'll normally happen.
The driver/guide will personally meet and greet your party as you exit into the public area of the cruise or airport terminal or come to reception in your hotel.
The driver/guide will provide a full briefing on the vehicle prior to the arrival of each destination and also commentary and banter all along the route.
Departures
For the majority of Southampton cruises assisted disembarkation starts at 07:00 with the last stragglers off the ship by 09:00. The vehicle will normally arrive at the cruise terminal at 08:00 and we aim to be on our way by 08:30. (However if you get a firm disembarkation time on ship, contact us and we'll adjust accordingly).
The driver/guide will provide a meet and greet service as you exit customs and stow your luggage within the vehicle.
Going the other way the driver/guide will provide a meet and greet service as you exit customs at the airport or come to reception in your hotel. After introductions, the vehicle is soon on its way.
Most outgoing cruises require check-in by mid afternoon so there is less time than in the opposite direction for touring. However, if you are overnighting in a Southampton hotel before your cruise you can still get in a full days sightseeing.
Heathrow Late Flight Solution At Windsor
If you are flying out of Heathrow after your cruise and have an afternoon/evening flight then a leisurely visit to Windsor is far superior to killing time in an airport terminal.
Most cruises have fully disembarked by 9 a.m. so you will be typically at Heathrow by mid-morning. Windsor is just 15 minutes from the Heathrow passenger terminals. We have innovative schemes where we can drop your party off at Windsor and leave your luggage with the vehicle. We collect you at a time suitable for your flight, and best of all you do not pay hourly waiting fees whilst you are in Windsor.
