With social distancing measures lifted, we are delighted to announce that London Magical Tours is continuing to welcome visitors back to London and the surrounding cities. It is fantastic to hear from so many travellers eager to return and discover the best of the United Kingdom.

With reservations being made in advance, we would like to re-assure all of our guests that hygiene and your safety is of the utmost importance.

To this end, we have introduced the following measures to keep everyone safe:

  • All guests (as well as the tour guide and chauffeur) are to wear masks while touring inside of the vehicle.
  • Tour guides will practice social distancing according to the latest government regulations, maintaining a current distance of 2 metres from guests at all times when guiding outside of the vehicle.
  • Guides and chauffeurs will refrain from shaking hands and making physical contact with guests.
  • Offering visits away from the crowds, including priority fast track entry where available.
  • Private tours are the best way to avoid crowded areas and our tour guides are specialists in going off the beaten path, including behind the scenes opportunities and visits through quiet back streets.
  • Hand sanitiser will be available in all vehicles
  • A thorough sterilisation and clean of vehicles before each and every private tour – all surfaces will be cleaned and wiped down in accordance with latest Covid-19 practices.
  • Any guide or chauffeur with symptoms will be unable to report to work, no matter how mild, with regular Covid-19 testing taking place.

One of the main benefits of a private tour is that you are provided with your very own vehicle. Unlike bus tours, shared tours or visiting London via public transport, our private tours are exclusively for your party and provide a personalised experience to help you enjoy the cities away from the masses.

Visit the London Magical Tours website to plan your trip and book your next London Private Tour.

We are very much looking forward to seeing you all again.

London Layover Tours – A Guide to Tours from Heathrow, Gatwick and City Airport

London Magical Tours

Have you ever had to spend time at the airport and wished you could go outside and enjoy visiting a city instead of just waiting for your next flight?

Well, great news! If you have a stopover of over 5 hours or more at an airport, the Magical Tours brand offers a fantastic range of London Layover Tours to help make the most of a layover opportunity:

If you are arriving at one of the London airports, London Magical Tours will collect your party directly from your terminal of arrival and return you directly to your terminal of departure at the end following your guided tour, with no hassles or worries. London Magical Tours offer Tours from Heathrow Airport as well as Tours from Gatwick Airport. Whats more, as the original founders of layover tours, a wide range of sightseeing experiences are available with collection and return to the major train station,  including St. Pancras and the Eurostar trains, Victoria Station in London as well as Gare Du Nord in Paris. Visitors with sightseeing requirements from the UK cruise ports can also be accommodated, including Southampton, Dover, Portsmouth and Harwich.

 

Here are a few essential things to consider on your next layover:

– Luggage: Carry on luggage can be brought on board tours. Larger checked luggage will usually be handled by your airline and sent to your final destination, it is worth checking this ahead of time with your airline. Larger pieces of luggage can also be taken on to the touring vehicle if requested in advance.

– Visas:  Most countries benefit from the visa waiver scheme, which makes a layover in London a breeze. As an example, we receive many visitors from the USA on a daily basis as part of our London Layover Tours; simply complete a landing card which you hand in on arrival to London.

– Time: As long as you have a at least a gap of a few hours or more during your layover stop, there will be an opportunity to go on a sightseeing tour. The longer the better!

– Relaxation: That’s the best part: just bring yourself, your friends and put your feet up! Travelling can be a stressful time but it doesn’t have to be when you are with experts; exploring a city is great fun and Magical Tours are there to help make every bit of your travel an enjoyable one that you won’t forget.

As the original founders of layover tours, the Magical Tours brand are proud of the fact that they have never had a client miss their flight when on a layover. It is quite remarkable how much of a city can be seen when you are visiting with an experienced expert: make the most of the opportunity and avoid what would otherwise be an ordinary airport experience.

If you wish to make your next layover a truly magical one, contact London Magical Tours.
