Our transport experience

Diane, Oct 2024
Derm, our driver, was amazing. He was early for our pickup and very enjoyable. He made the ride go by quickly.

Read on.

ANTHONY_D, Sep 2024
The driver was on time and politel however, picking us up at the Hotel Riu Victoria was a challenge. ROAD construction has the road closed in front if the hotel and we had to walk to the next street with 4 pieces of luggage. Sadly, i called the company the day b4 to confirm and alert them that the driver can still pull up to the front of the hotel and the hotel moves the road cones to allow drop off snd pickup. Of course, the driver claimed he was never told.

Do not book this transfer.

Scott_K, Sep 2024
I thought I purchased a transfer from our hotel in London to our cruise ship. Viator just called an Uber for us. The guy showed up in a little Kia which would not accommodate us and our luggage, so he just left. We had to find our own way to the ship. I am still waiting for credit from Viator. I sent them a request for credit, but they have not responded. You would think they might have contacted us when we had no ride, but they have not.

Kindly, helpful driver●

Marco was our driver and he was exceptional. He was on time by 15 minutes. Van was clean and nice and he loaded all our bags. We had ten grown up’s in our party so a lot of luggage. He knew where he was going and provided a nice narrative along the way. You need transportation In London ask for Marco thanks Marco you made the trip fun and enjoyable

Convenient transfer London to Southampton

Philip_S, Aug 2024
Our driver, Marcia, was very helpful and friendly, arrived on time and got us to Southampton port in plenty of time. Car was comfortable and had plenty of room for our luggage.

False advertising.

Carlos_T, Aug 2024
The actual vehicle that came was a sedan and not a van as shown on the advertisement. We booked this because we had large luggages and the driver was struggling to fit them.

Very Positive Experience

MARYLOUISE_O, Aug 2024
Prompt, polite service. Vehicles are clean and well maintained. Comfortable seating. Driver gave us helpful tourist information.

Ride to Southhampton

Linda_S, Jul 2024
I would use this company again! on time pick up we also had to upgrade the size from mini van to 16 passenger we were accommodated immediately and always had a quick response Thank you for a wonderful experience.

made it on time

Arnold_B, Jul 2024
Driver was on time with a large van quite comfortable, new the route but unfortunately took us to the wrong dock in Southampton, dock worker grabbed him before he left and informed of the correct dock, he got a little lost but eventually got us to the right dock in plenty of time. I would suggest nayone give themselves plenty of time to arrive.

Private transfer

Driver was on time and very pleasant. Vehicle was clean and he drove safely. What more can you ask for with a private transfer?

Excellent ride

Edward_W, Jul 2024
Our Driver Anna was excellent . Trip took longer than expected due to traffic. Give yourselves 3 hours from central London to cruise terminal

Great service!

Karen_F, Jul 2024
Fabulous customer service. Driver arrived on time and assisted us with baggage. The vehicle was comfortable and the drive to the Cruise port was uneventful (in the best way possible).

Professional

Richard_C, Jul 2024
The driver was very professional and very courteous. She got us to the ship on time. The drive was comfortable.

Efficient Door to Pier Service!

Chrystal_S, Jul 2024
We booked travel from an AirBnB in London to the Pier in Southampton for 10 people. The van was comfortable and held all passengers and all our luggage. Appreciated the pick up and drop off. No need to take a Taxi from the train station which helped us navigate to the ship with our elderly mother.

Convenient

Katherine_G, Jun 2024
A little confusing confirming the time with the tour operator but everything worked out perfectly. Ana was a very careful driver. We arrived on time and felt very safe. Thank you

Scary

Karen_W, Jun 2024
Our experience was crazy. Our driver sped through the city, hitting his brakes hard many times, nearly rear ending someone twice, then continued to race between all three lanes of traffic back and forth, while our luggage slammed around and took a beating against the back of the van. Once we were out of London and onto the less crowded freeway he slowed down below the speed limit while remaining in the fast lane and then asked if it would be ok if he ate lunch at a rest stop for 20 minutes. We did get to our destination but I cannot image what the trip would have been like for older people making this journey.

Great
