Your Itinerary

Winchester

You will be driven in an air conditioned touring bus from London and Heathrow to Southampton Cruise Terminals via a stop of approximately 1.5 - 2 hours at the historic town of Winchester. We plan to drop you at your cruise terminal between 1:30pm – 2:00pm. Winchester is the home to one of England's premier medieval cathedrals and much more besides. For many years, Winchester has been associated with royalty as far back as the famous Alfred the Great, King of Wessex. The city even became joint capital of England, alongside London. In Winchester Cathedral (entry included) lies the resting place of many Saxon Kings, the Norman King William Rufus and the novelist Jane Austen. This outstanding building, with the longest nave in Europe, has an original medieval tiled floor and was the venue for the wedding of King Philip of Spain to Queen Mary Tudor in 1554, the infamous 'Bloody Mary'. In your time in Winchester, you may wish to visit the Great Hall (entry not included) a seat of many English Kings and Queens, and you'll have the chance to view the famous King Arthur's Round Table. The 'Round Table' does actually date much later than the legendary British King, and is just a mere 800 years old!. We then continue the journey to Southampton, which will take approximately 30 - 45 minutes. After your arrival at Southampton Cruise Terminals you will walk straight to the check in desk. Porters will take care of your luggage, ensuring it is delivered to your cabin. Please make sure you use the luggage label in your cruise pack to facilitate this.

What a great experience, beautiful place. International friends help to provide an unforgettable vacation. The coach service and tour guides were awesome. I left my cell phone on the coach when we were transported from the cruise ship terminal in Southampton to London. I contacted International Friends and they assisted me in getting my phone back, I had already left London and returned back to the U.S.A. . Louise from International Friends helped me get the phone back by arranging shipping for the return. Thanks Louise ! I highly recommend International Friends .

This tour was disappointing. The transfer driver purchased "Senior" tickets for the Cathedral for us and our age did not qualify us as "seniors". We didn't know this had been done and used the tickets and the cathedral employees thought we were not being truthful about our age. Once we figured out what was going on, my wife and I explained to the cathedral staff that we were not aware that the tour guide had purchased senior tickets and we requested to pay the difference for a regular ticket. I did not appreciate being put in this position!

Excellent service. We were staying at the Blackbird Hotel Earl's Court London, needed to transfer to Southampton for cruise. Driver was there right on time, and very helpful with our luggage. He has a nice sense of humor and made our journey a lot of fun. With heavy traffic he found a way to re-route. Bottom line: Great Value!! Highly recommend.

We were scheduled for a Baltic /St.Petersburg cruise and Pre London package and due to pandemic it was cancelled for two years in a row. Tom took excellent care of us and arranged our full refund with no problem! Outstanding customer service! We will most definitely use this company when we are able to travel again!

Best customer service I have experienced in a long time. Tom was my main contact and did an outstanding job of communicating and finding the right vehicle for me.

We were supposed to take the Queen Mary 2 from New York, dock in Southampton for a few days, then do a British Isles cruise round trip Southampton. We wanted to see London for those few days, but couldn't figure out how to get from the cruise terminal to London, and back to the cruise terminal. When I discovered this website and realized not only could I get to and from the cruise terminal, but could enjoy many sites as well, and they would deliver me directly to my hotel, I was thrilled! Alas, our cruises were cancelled, but I immediately heard from International Friends that they would refund our money. Within a very short time I saw the credit on my credit card. They were so professional and prompt! I can't wait to try this trip again and will definitely book with them again. I have recommended them to friends traveling by air as well, as I understand they arrange airport transports as well.
