Paris Toolkit London sightseeing tours & tour transfers from Heathrow Airport
Short stopovers between flights, transfer tours to your London hotel or tours from Heathrow hotels
No public tour bus visits Heathrow!
OK, let's get one thing clear first, the answer to the most common question from people on a layover at Heathrow Airport...
There are no public sightseeing tours that pick up from Heathrow or its hotels that will take you sightseeing into London, (or indeed anywhere).
If you want a public tour of London then you will need to take public transport into the centre of London and join the tour there or charter your own private sightseeing capability.
Heathrow to London by public transport is discussed on our dedicated page.
Private, personalised tours from Heathrow Airport
Time to kill between flights? See memorable Central London sights
We can offer tours from Heathrow Airport customised to your needs.
The most common categories these tours address are people who:
- Have time to kill between flights at Heathrow and want to use that time productively to see a little bit of London's famous sights rather than an airport terminal that could be anywhere.
- Transfer tours between your flight arrival at Heathrow and your Central London providing a good orientation of London's main sights before arrival at your hotel. Very practical if you have an early morning flight and are not able to check-in until lunch time. You'll see pretty much all the sights you'd see on one of London's hop on, hop off sightseeing buses.
- For those staying at a Heathrow hotel, some of which are quite remote from Heathrow, let alone London, providing a quick efficient way to visit London.
Very practical if you have a late flight time and return to your departure terminal just before check-in.
