Excellent Way to Get from London to Southampton While Seeing Windsor & Stonehenge
We booked this transfer several months before our trip, and everything went exactly as planned.Communication with the company was excellent from the very beginning. As soon as we booked, they emailed to let us know that Windsor Castle would be closed on the day of our tour. We really appreciated the heads-up, especially since we were traveling all the way from the U.S. Even though the castle was closed, we still wanted to stop in Windsor to walk around, get photos of the castle, and have lunch, so we kept it on our itinerary.Our Airbnb was inside London's Congestion Charge Zone, and they explained there would be an additional £18 Congestion Charge. They emailed us an invoice, we paid it ahead of time, and everything was taken care of before our travel day. The whole process was simple and transparent.We had already reserved lunch at The Two Brewers in Windsor and purchased timed-entry tickets for Stonehenge. I emailed them both reservation times, and they planned our day around them. We arrived in Windsor with plenty of time to explore, enjoyed a relaxing lunch, and still made it to Stonehenge right on schedule. It couldn't have worked out better.Our driver, Shaun, was wonderful. He arrived exactly on time, helped with all of our luggage, and immediately made us feel comfortable. There were five of us traveling with quite a bit of luggage, so the company sent an 8-passenger minibus. It was the perfect size, with plenty of room for everyone and all of our bags.We also happened to be visiting during one of England's hottest weeks, and I have to give the van's air conditioning a shout-out. After walking around Windsor and Stonehenge in the heat, climbing back into a nice cool van was the best feeling. The vehicle was spotless, comfortable, and made the drive to Southampton really enjoyable.Shaun was friendly, easy to talk to, and never made us feel rushed. He was happy to answer questions, made sure we stayed on schedule, and turned what could have been just a transfer into a really enjoyable part of our vacation.I wouldn't hesitate to book with this company again. Everything was organized exactly as promised, and Shaun made the day even better. If you're looking for a comfortable, stress-free way to get from London to Southampton while visiting Windsor and Stonehenge, I highly recommend them.
