Drivers such as Ahmed, Farook, and Kenneth have earned strong praise, but guiding depth can vary, so confirm your expectations before departure.

“I paid for 4 hours and only got 3. I specifically asked about flight delays because we were being picked up at Heathrow. I was told by the vendor to email flight delays, which I did. When he picked us up he said we were already 30 minutes into the tour. Then, we were dropped off 30 minutes early. The car was nice and clean and the driver was pleasant. We were not able to to stop and see any sites. We drove by and saw things from a distance. Overall disappointing.”

“This is only good for 4 people. Originally, we were told 6 people okay with 7 big luggages and 6 carry ons. We paid £191 and were told to take another uber. If I have known this from the beginning I will take 3 Uber cars. Uber will cost only £50 to the airport. Nort accurate information. I communicated with the operator before I booked the van and was told okay. We ended up paying for more. Never do this.”

He texted us before our last flight so I had his contact number; we walked out and he greeted us, drove us straight to the hotel (3hrs) without problems, which was welcome, as we hadn’t slept for 2 days. Much better than trains, rental cars.”
