Great tour. - Loved this Tour. Pick up from the Hotel was great, took a tour from Victoria Station and this was was much better. There was a 2 hour delay in the pick-up due to protests and street closures but we were keep informed of what was going on. Bus was very clean and confortable.

Must do. - Convenient pickup from our airport hotel in London Heathrow. The bus was very clean and maintained, and had a functional, accessible, clean bathroom. Our tour guide, Michael, was excellent. Viator obtained our Dover Castle tickets for us which was also very nice. They got us to our cruise ship in good timing. No worries of being late. Thank you very much. 😊

Fantastic - Exceptional! I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a transportation option to Dover. They were kind and courteous to all passengers including those who were late. They waited for them to make sure nobody was left behind.

Difficult - Did not pick us up at Hotel, bus couldn't get there so we walked 3 blocks with suit cases. I am in my 80's and have RA. Should of picked up with car. The walk up hill to castle is very steep. 30 minutes isn't enought time to do. Would take 3 hours or more. Just use if you are very fit and need to get to cruise

London to Dover - The emphasis was certainly on arriving at our destination in Dover on time so we could embark on cruise ships. Picking us up at our London hotel and the handling of our luggage was exceptional and appreciated. The sightseeing service felt like a throw in. Again can’t complain too much as getting us to our ship for embarkation was much more important!

Good transfer tour. - The trip was well organized with good communication regarding pick up times. There was no guiding in Dover castle and that would have been helpful. More time in the memorial also needed .

Bad communication - We were misinformed of the pick up time which led to a very stressful morning not knowing if we were going to be picked up at all. Didn’t have very much time at the castle because of so many other pick ups. Horrible communication between customer service and us.

Too long! - We got picked up at our hotel at 7:15 am, got to Heathrow at 9:15 after picking ip others, hit traffic on our way to Dover, bus driver needed two breaks. Just tooooo long! We were exhausted from the length of the ride! Had no stops for the battlefield. Would not recommend for the cost! Bus driver and guide were bery nice and professional, but I didn’t care for it. I should have hired a private car for less money!!!

Sent such a big bus it didn’t fit. Pickups took far too long. - They sent a full size bus that was too big to fit on the streets of hotel pickups. If they have pickups at those hotels, they need to send smaller van. As a result, we were on the bus for 4 hours , and the bus driver had to take a mandatory half hour rest. The result was being 3 hours late to Dover Castle and having to race around, not seeing everything at this great attraction. While nice to be picked up at your hotel, it resulted in sitting far too long on the bus. This company needs to understand the vehicles required to fit into the roads hotels are on.
