Inner London’s busiest streets crisscross quiet cobbled lanes for an effect that can be urbane or quaint – or an intriguing blend of both – depending on the particular corner you turn.

With major attractions like the British Museum and Somerset House as well as popular areas such as Covent Garden and Soho all just a short walk away, Holborn is a smart base from which to explore London.

Due to a schedule change, we ended up with an 11-hour layover at Heathrow. Not wanting to spend the day in the airport, and planning to visit Windsor later in our trip, we decided to try to find a way to get to Windsor for the day during our layover. Emanuel at EC Minibus was more than helpful planning our day, making recommendations, and arranging a driver to pick us up from Heathrow to take us to Windsor, and back again. Booking could not have been easier, and he even purchased our Windsor Castle tickets for us, and made recommendations for lunch. Thank you, Emanuel, for making a long layover into a wonderful day trip!

During one of our one day stops from the cruise ship in Southampton we decided to this excursion to Salisbury and Stonehedge. All I can say is WOW! The transport (and we were on a bus) was very comfortable. The visits to Stonehedge (by goodness it was cold and windy on the day) was quite interesting particularly the museum. However the history at Salisbury Cathedral where you can see the Magna Carta is beyond amazing - so much history.
Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and made the trip even more of a learning experience. The staff at Salisbury cathedral were very eager to help and answer any question.
If your on a cruise out of Southampton don't miss doing this - an outstanding full day.
Would do it again in a heart beat.

This is the ONLY tour company that refused a refund during this global pandemic. I will be very sure to make sure everyone I know to never, ever use this company whenever they cruise to the UK. Even if they had to hold back a booking charge or give a credit for future years - that would be acceptable.

We took the MSC shore excursion to Salisbury and Stonehenge, and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Stonehenge is a remarkable site and we're grateful to have seen it up close. Salisbury is such a beautiful town, quaint yet lively at the same time. Seeing their magnificent Cathedral was a highlight. We'd love to spend a week, at least, in Salisbury to really immerse ourselves in its ambience. Our tour guide was very helpful, and entertaining as he informed us of the area's history, in several languages., Very impressive!

I highly recommend EC Minibus. They provide prompt, courteous and professional service at very reasonable prices. The drivers are courteous and were happy to answer our questions and even offered advice on getting around London. I scheduled everything from New York by telephone with Emanuel as we needed three separate transfers for me and my family members. All three transfers went smoothly without any hitches.
I will use EC Minibus on my next visit to London and will recommend their services without hesitation.

WARNING - Do not use this company! UNSAFE drivers ! Driver was kept nodding off as he was falling asleep while driving on the highway at high speeds. We had to wake him 4 times as his head nodded off. He told us he was called very early (at 4:30) by his company to take on an extra driving trip and was not able to go to back to sleep. He said it happens all the time-not enough drivers. He also kept accelerating hard and then letting off the gas. Accelerating and letting off. He did this over and over so much several passengers felt sick and my wife got sick in the bathroom when we arrived. The company does not care about its customers safety.

We have flagged this review as this is a fake review which has been left on our profile, TripAdvisor has refused to take this down. There is no mention of any company details or the driver's name to allow us to locate this service on our records. As a company, we take our passengers and driver safety very seriously and we will never put anyone in danger. This review has been left for our minibus service which by UK law the vehicle is monitored with a tachograph which controls the number of hours that a driver is legally allowed to drive on the road, this stops any drivers from driving more than they are legally required to drive, therefore this review is incorrect and this is why it has been flagged as a fake review.

When another Taxi Tour company was forced to cancel our reservations with less than 30 days before our arrival in London, we emailed EC Minbus and asked if they could provide the following. (1) Pick-up 4 people with cruise luggage at two different terminals at LHR, then provide a 3 hour tour of London with a stop for lunch and then transfer us to the Port in Southampton. (2) Then two weeks later, pick-up 4 people and cruise luggage from Southampton and transfer to LHR. The owner, Emanuel Caires, replied to our email with a very positive and informative list if our options which included very competitive prices. The emails were very professional and we proceeded to book both of the transfers. When we arrived at London Heathrow Airport, to our delight the owner himself, Emanuel was there to take care of us. We felt like Royalty. He was extremely professional and pleasant and his chauffeur driving skills were superb as he providing a very smooth ride at all times. We felt extremely safe and comfortable while he was driving. The VW Minibus was more than comfortable and had plenty of room for all of our luggage. We enjoyed his personal stories as well as his portrayal of history of the places we visited. Emanuel went out of his way to make sure that we got to see everything possible in the time frame available. He then recommend and took us to the “Sea Shell of Lisson Grove” for an excellent fish & chips lunch before transferring us to Southampton. When our cruise was over, Emanuel was there exactly on time to pick us up and transfer to LHR.
We highly recommend EC Minibus, you won’t be disappointed.

Our trip involved a number of legs ranging from pick up at airport, pick up from Dover, side trip to Stonehenge, and a drive back to the airport. In all of our trips, the drivers were prompt, courteous and safe. Traveling with 8 people including kids and seniors, they made the trip very relaxing. We will definitely use and recommend EC minibus.

We arrived at Dover via cruise ship and needed transportation to London. We decided to hire a car for the day to take us to see Dover, Leeds Castle, Canterbury and Greenwich. It was well worth it! The driver was waiting for us when we disembarked from the ship. Do check ahead with the various attractions you want to see to make certain they are open when you arrive. We traveled on a Sunday so the hours were more limited. Good, courteous and informative driver. I would highly recommend EC.
