About this activity

Do you have a layover in London for another destination and want to take advantage of the time for a unique and real experience? This tour will give you the opportunity to compress your precious time and be able to visit, in a relatively short time, the most attractive touristic landmarks in London.  Ordinary tourists opting for public transport and walking require approximately two days to finish this tour, missing out on the hottest spots and breathtaking panoramas. Unlike them, we offer expert suggestions to unveil London, ensuring an unforgettable experience. The London tour is available for scheduling between 05:00 and 22:00, any day of the week. It typically lasts around 5 to 6 hours, encompassing services such as passenger pickup from Heathrow Airport, transportation between points of interest (with brief waiting times at stops), and concluding back at Heathrow Airport.

    10. Covent Garden

      Markets began gathering at Covent Garden's new square as early as 1656, though the population was still sparse, composed mostly of wealthier tenants. Being relatively new and out-of-the-way, Covent Garden had the fortune to skirt the worst of the plague in 1665, and it avoided the Great Fire of London entirely in 1666.
