Britain · PRIVATE DRIVERS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 6 private car days worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Travel from Dublin with a friendly coach driver such as Patrick, known as Bud, or Tony, then explore authentic Game of Thrones sets, costumes, props, and interactive displays at Linen Mill Studios. Allow time for the Great Hall, Dragonstone, the throne room, themed food, and the official shop.
“Fantastic coach ride with Bud (bus driver). Tour was well organized.”
Meet your English-speaking City Wonders host near Euston Station, take the public train to Warner Bros. Studio, and explore for roughly six hours on your own. See the Great Hall, Diagon Alley, Hagrid’s Hut, Dumbledore’s office, Platform 9¾, and famous props before returning to London by open train ticket.
“The visit to the Harry Potter studio is just incredible. You're really transported into the magic of Poudlard! I highly recommend it. The coordinator (Seviar?), whose first name I can't remember exactly, was very professional and kind and guided us right up to the studio entrance! I will definitely be coming back through you! Thank you for your time, Samira 🌸”
Travel from Victoria Coach Station to LEGOLAND Windsor by superior coach, with Wi-Fi, USB charging, and an English-speaking host. You get about six hours for 55 rides, live shows, LEGO models, Minifigure Speedway, Flight of the Sky Lion, and Duplo Playtown.
“Impensable… Arrivée casiment à 11 h 30 après un départ à 9h40. Pour chaque attraction au moins une heure de queue. On a fait 3 attractions et ensuite on a abandonné. Retour à 16. Le temps d’arriver au bus à 16h30. Trop de billets vendus. Mauvaise expérience. Et honnêtement trop court pour profiter du parc. Il faudrait partir ou arriver plus tôt. Très mauvais timing.”
Leave your Southampton cruise terminal at 8:30am, visit Stonehenge for about two hours with entry and shuttle service included, then continue by air-conditioned coach to selected London hotels, Heathrow terminals, or train stations. Guides such as Lorraine, Jane, Eva, and Rob add useful commentary along the way.
“Excellent customer service, knowledgeable and experienced guide, good clear communication.”
Combine your London to Southampton transfer with entry to Windsor Castle. A tour manager handles the day, you explore the castle independently, then continue by luxury coach to the cruise terminal. Pickup is available from selected Zone 1 and Heathrow hotels.
“Our driver was amazing and definitely went above and beyond. We had adequate amount of time in Windsor as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”
Travel from central London to Stonehenge in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with hotel pickup and drop-off. You will have about 2.5 hours for the stones, visitor center, and ancient objects. Drivers such as Naim and Yusaf have earned warm praise, but service can vary.
“Our driver, Naim was a delight! The scenery was beautiful and this excursion has been the highlight of our trip to London this far.”
Pick a city, a castle or a long drive north.
