About this experience
Layover Tours are perfect private tours for travellers who do not want to wait around in airport lounges for hours for their next flight, or are looking for an excursion from their cruise terminal.
Let us guide you to either Central London, to see iconic sights of a City that is so rich in 2000 years of history. We cover architecture, Royals, markets, churches, Parliament & even graffiti.
Or tour Windsor, with its magnificent Royal Castle, home to the British Monarchy, on the idyllic banks of the River Thames for a 1000 years. Or visit Stonehenge, to see the ancient monument & education centre.
These tours are all delivered by fully qualified Tour Guides in a new London Black Taxi with air con, panoramic roof & 6 seats.
We can customise your private tour to match your interests & maximise precise times, before making it back to the airport or cruise terminal for your next adventure.
Tours are bespoke & take a minimum of 5 hours & are priced individually.
