Layover Tours Heathrow Airport

London Magical Tours

On a layover through London Heathrow Airport and wishing to make the most of your time?

As the founders of Layover Tours, London Magical Tours are the experts to help make the most of this opportunity. Our layover tours provide both convenience and peace of mind:

You’ll be met at your terminal upon landing by your chauffeur. You’ll then tour your chosen location with an expert guide for a fully guided tour – not a taxi service or being left to wander on your own. Following the tour, your chauffeur will drop you off at your departure terminal, to simply continue with your journey. It’s a great way to explore London or nearby cities with an expert during your transit, without the stress of navigating on your own.

Whether you’re landing at Heathrow Terminal 1 through Terminal 5, tours are available directly from any terminal, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish. Forget rushing or having to learn how to navigate the largest city in Europe in the fear of missing your connecting flight.

At London Magical Tours we receive thousands of happy guests each month on our tours from London Airport, who opt to visit the capital and the surrounding cities while on transit, instead of waiting in the arrivals lounge. The proof is however in the pudding – your wonderful feedback!

Why London Magical Tours?


  • Experienced: the original founders of Layover Tours from the London Airports. Sit back and leave the travel logistics to the experts. No travel worries or being affected by public transport strikes.


  • Professional Tour Guides: Our tour guides are all professionals in their respective fields. Having a knowledgeable tour guide makes a huge difference to an experience. Many guests have commented that a London Magical Tours Layover Tour from Heathrow was actually the highlight of their entire trip – and they were going to visit South Africa!


  • NOT just a drive. Before booking a layover tour, check what you are getting. A number of minicabs have started to offer “layover tours” when this is in fact just a driver service – just like hailing a taxi. The “tour” is simply a drive from the airport without any stops or actual guiding. There is no professional guide: it is driver trying to use GPS to learn a tour route. There are many sites offering such “tours” for a fraction of the cost. Buyer beware!


  • An additional chauffeur. Why? London is one of the world’s biggest cities. Parking can be difficult, if not almost impossible at the best of times. Having an extra chauffeur means there are no parking worries. You are front of line every time. It then leaves you and your professional tour guide free to explore London in style. And create a memory that will last forever and hopefully entice you to return – and spend your next vacation in London!

Helpful Tips:

 

Luggage: Carry-on luggage can be brought on board tours. Vehicle upgrades are available if you need to travel with checked luggage. Larger checked luggage is however typically handled by your airline and sent to your final destination when on a layover through London: it’s advisable to confirm this with your airline in advance.

Visas: Most countries benefit from the visa waiver scheme, making a layover in London straightforward. For example, visitors from the USA and Canada only complete a landing card upon arrival.

Time: As long as you have a layover of at least 5 hours or more, there’s an opportunity to go on a sightseeing tour. The longer the layover, the more you can explore.

Relaxation: Travelling can be very stressful, but with a Layover Tour, you can enjoy a comfortable and informative experience without having to worry about logistics. Just arrive in London and let the Layover Tour experts do the rest.
