WHY IS LOCAL TRANSPORT PREFERRED IN LONDON?
Using public transportation in a large and historic city like London allows you to visit more places in a shorter time by avoiding city traffic and time loss. Tours by metro, train, and bus also allow you to experience London’s dynamic life on site.
Thanks to these tours, you not only see tourist attractions, but also travel on the same routes used by Londoners in daily life, experiencing the city not as a tourist, but as a “traveler.” In other words, this is not just a transportation choice, but the most natural way to experience London.
Also;
The hotel where accommodation will be provided is located in the Heathrow area, and public transportation must be used to reach the city center.
Breakfast at the hotel is included in the accommodation. The breakfast content may vary regionally depending on the hotel’s practices; in Europe, it is generally served in continental style.
A minimum participation of 15 people is required for the extra tours included in the program to be carried out. Please note that if the number of participants falls below this, the relevant tour may not take place.
The contents and days of the extra programs may be changed by the guide and operator.
