BETWEEN FLIGHTS?
Brief Tours for Those in Transit


Many fliers are in the UK for the briefest of time, landing one flight in the morning and departing on another in the afternoon. Now you can make the most of your 'downtime' and actually see something while you're here other than the transit lounge!
Sample Itinerary:
7 hour minimum transit time

Arriving at Gatwick / Departing Heathrow (or reverse)
or
Arriving at Heathrow / Departing Heathrow


We meet you off the plane and stow you luggage on board our mini-coach. In 90 minutes time (45 if you're landing at Heathrow) you're in London and enjoying a London Panoramic Tour where you'll see all of the main icons. The tour includes Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace (the Changing of the Guard may be possible if we can be there by 11.15am), Downing Street, Piccadilly Circus, Marble Arch, Hyde Park, Soho, Covent Garden, The Tower, St Paul's Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey.

There's usually time for a lunch break in a riverside pub before we deliver you to the relevant airport for your onward flight.

On a Panoramic tour there is time to stop for photographs but not to visit the interior of attractions.

Cost of a mini-coach for 6 to 10 persons:
GBP £315
total
excludes lunch

Cost of a mini-coach for 11 to 16 persons:
GBP £345
total
excludes lunch
Alternative Itinerary:

6 hour minimum transit time

Arriving at Gatwick / Departing Heathrow
or
Arriving at Heathrow / Departing Gatwick

We meet you off the plane and stow you luggage on board our mini-coach. Within a few minutes we're on the country lanes enjoying the scenery of Sussex and Kent and seeing timeless villages almost oblivious to the fact that they're under the flight path! We've time to visit one of the famed historic houses or castles of the area. Our suggestion would be Hever Castle, home of Anne Boleyn, one of Henry VIII's ill-fated wives but you might prefer Hampton Court Palace or even Windsor Castle might be an option (but not both).

Whichever you choose, there's also time to enjoy a 'pie and a pint' in country pub.

Cost of a mini-coach for 6 to 10 persons:

Cost of a mini-coach for 11 to 16 persons:
