HALF-DAY LONDON TOUR
By ‘tube’ or by car?
We now offer two transport options for our Half-Day London Private Tour: by ‘tube’ (the Londoners’ nickname for the subway transit system) or by car. Below are five reasons why you may want to consider the tube over the car version:
- Cost-effective: typically, a family of four will save over £60.00 by booking the tube over the car option.
- Time-effective: the tube is usually a rapid way to get around London, giving you more time to enjoy your tour. As London Transport advertising once proclaimed: ‘It’s quicker by tube!‘
- Eco-friendly: travelling via the tube is kinder to the environment. It’s healthier too, with a little more walking involved. Not too much walking, but enough to burn off some excess calories!
- Engaging: interact with London’s popular transit system, just like a local.
- Iconic: the tube is an attraction in itself. As the oldest and largest underground transit system in the world, it adds another dimension to the London visitor experience.
