Airport Transfers

However, if these “Land Only” passengers arrive outside the brochure advertised coach transfer times they must make their own arrangements at their own expense.
  • Passengers purchasing “Land and Air” from Trafalgar will receive coach transfers at times published in the brochure or, if they arrive outside of these set times, then a separate transfer will be booked for them. These transfers will be available only on the days of arrival and departure of the tour.
  • Passengers purchasing pre and post tour accommodation must arrange their own transfers regardless of whether or not they have bought “Air” from Trafalgar.
  • Day 1 - Depart USA Overnight flight to London.


  • Day 2 - Arrive London (6 nights) You are met at the airport and transferred to your London hotel. This is a great time of year to be in the British capital! Department stores such as Harrods and Selfridges are festively decorated. Oxford Street, Bond Street and Knightsbridge are sparkling with Christmas illuminations! Hot chestnuts are sold in the streets and Christmas carols are sung by choirs in places like Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square. You will soon be in the festive spirit as you check into your hotel. Free time this afternoon to ''drink in'' the great atmosphere!

    Hotel: Clifton Ford (6 nights)


  • Day 3 - London sightseeing An included sightseeing tour shows you all the highlights of the city – the majesty of Westminster Abbey, the tribute to Lord Nelson in Trafalgar Square and of course we say ''hello'' to the Queen as we stop to take pictures of Buckingham Palace. In the evening, why not book into a carol concert at the Royal Festival or Albert Hall? Our London Reception Centre can arrange all sorts of activities for you! (Buffet Breakfast)


  • Day 4 - London at leisure Time to perhaps do some shopping in the Christmas markets in Covent Garden or to window-shop in pretty Walton Street or St. Christopher''s Place. Alternatively you can visit one of London''s great museums…they are relatively crowd free at this time of year – but still full of special exhibitions, which would be a shame to miss! (Buffet Breakfast)


  • Day 5 - Excursion to Stratford-upon-Avon There’s a Dickensian feel about the town of Shakespeare’s birth with its half-timbered houses and thatched cottages. We will visit the old house where Shakespeare was born, and see Anne Hathaway’s cottage. Then a drive through the pretty area, which is known as the Cotswolds with its rolling hills, old stone houses and charming villages, brings us back to London. (Buffet Breakfast)


  • Day 6 - Excursion to Bath & Stonehenge And now Christmas - Jane Austen style! We drive to nearby Bath where we visit the Abbey and Roman Baths – it''s also a great place to browse in the charming small shops and boutiques in the Georgian streets. We return to London via mysterious Stonehenge – the stone circle on Salisbury plain. (Buffet Breakfast)


  • Day 7 - London at leisure Time to do some last minute shopping, go to the theatre or take an excursion to the Tower of London. Maybe attend a Christmas service in Westminster Abbey – an experience never to be forgotten! (Buffet Breakfast)


  • Day 8 - Depart London Time to bid a fond farewell to England at the end of this festive week. (Buffet Breakfast)
