It's always nice to now when one travels to a new place that you have no worries. After retrieving my luggage I went to arrival pickup. My ride was just a phone call away. I was not sure where to look but after a phone call my driver phoned me right back and told me where to go. There he was waiting for me. A very polite man. Took my luggage and escorted me to the car. Many thanks for your services.

Excellent service

Thyagarajan_S, Mar 2024

Gregory was excellent, he texted us and kept us informed on the pick-up location and was very friendly and helpful

Dermot was really helpful

Rich, Dec 2023

Dermot our driver was awesome and very helpful. he went out of his way to make sure we knew where to go to meet him and managed to pack our luggage in and get us to our hotel. I will definitely use this service again

Request at least half credit back!

GraceMarie_F, Nov 2023

The driver arrived late at 1:20 pm in London near Boots. I called at 1:05 that we didn't see our driver holding a sign. There was a sitting area in front of Boot's and I said I have red hair and would sit. No sign, the driver said "I am taking a chance, are you Grace Marie". He was well dressed. What wasn't acceptable was 3x we got off elevator into parking garage. He could not find the car. He then went by himself to next level and we went 4th trip to car. He was pleasant, but not worth what we paid over $125 plus tip. I would like to request half compensation back for London trip. We get near hotel and he asks "Can I go down this way?" implying to get in front of hotel. He was catering way as we saw other taxis pull up today. We walked a short distance to entrance to hotel. He needs more training. Again pleasant driver. We. hope our Paris trip is better as we are 65 Seniors. It is very cold in London 30°F and windy and this was so inconvenient after flying 2 planes over 13 hours. TY.

Excellent

Jennifer_H, Oct 2023

Pedro, was a great driver. He made contact and accommodated a full load of passengers and their bags. Very happy with the trip.

Great service

Christopher_G, Oct 2023

The driver was right at the exit gate to meet us and he was able to adjust the route as needed to get us to the hotel as quickly as possible. Great service

Driver was excellent and...

Kimberly_A, Oct 2023

Driver was excellent and very knowledgeable and personable! We were delayed in customs and he waited patiently for us

Panic attack

Rose_N, Oct 2023

Our plane landed at Heathrow International, and I expected our driver to be right outside the baggage claim area. We saw lots of drivers with Name cards stand right outside the baggage claim, but not our driver, we kept walking around trying see the name cards. I finally called the phone number on my emailed ticket but no one answered. Our group was starting to panic so I was going to call for a taxi, when we saw a man with a sign standing way back by the stores so we walked over to see the name card and it was our driver. He was a really nice driver but why wouldn’t he stand near the other drivers so we could see him right away. I will be hesitant to book a driver from Viator in any future trips because of this issue.

Disappointed

Monique_M, Oct 2023

So disappointed in the service received by this company- no one was there to greet us but when I called the rep couldn’t help, couldn’t find my booking number. I was disconnected twice and it was so frustrating .

Driver was timely and...

Jennifer_V, Oct 2023

Driver was timely and professional - I would definitely recommend his services to anyone who does not what to take the train to central London.

Terminal 3 to Covent Garden

Anthony_G, Oct 2023

The ride from Terminal 3 took about 90 minutes to get to Covent Garden. British drivers are very polite about drivers changing lanes in small spaces. No issues on the ride. The area in the airport is a little crowded so it took some looking to find our driver. Driver was nice enough, not very talkative. We were taken to the hotel doorstep and he helped with the bags.

Pick Up at London Heathrow

Chastity_B, Oct 2023

Great service! The driver was very patient while our entries group arrived. Will definitely use again!

Good transportation from airport to hotel

Lorraine_T, Oct 2023

Ride from the airport to the hotel was good. Lots of traffic! Driver was at airport in a timely manor.

TERRIBLE Customer Service

CHRISTINE_M, Oct 2023

Do NOT book this transfer! They marked me a “No Show” and left me behind although I have multiple screenshots proving that my flight was delayed and that I attempted to reach out to the tour operators MULTIPLE times updating on my flight status. They told me that they would not be issuing me a refund since it was “my fault”. I’ve tried calling customer support, speaking to a Viator representative, messaging the transfer company through WhatsApp, calling their emergency number, and emailing. No answer or response from any and it has already been two days. Do yourself a favor and just order an Uber from the airport, it cost me about the same as what I paid for the transfer.

Great Personality

Linda_L, Sep 2023

My driver was very thorough of pick up time and exactly where to meet. Very happy because LHR can be confusing

First time users

Patricia_H, Sep 2023

The gentleman wasn’t waiting for us which made us nervous but everything else was great. He fit all our luggage in his car (which was large) and he found our hotel with No problem and he unloaded the luggage quickly. I would use this service again,

Great Drivers!

Beverly_S, Sep 2023

The shuttle was on time. The drivers were very helpful and even gave us a bit of history about London as we traveled from the airport to our hotel. Everyone was very impressed with them.

Nice transport option

Kathy_B, Sep 2023

Thanks for your congeniality, baggage help, and water bottles. Great service. Easy to meet in airport. Waiting as we got coffee and used restroom. Thank you!

Easy access to driver. ...

Kathleen_E, Sep 2023

Easy access to driver. Patient and kind person. The only negative was having to walk a couple of blocks to his vehicle.

Stressful

Fionna_P, Aug 2023

I spent over an hour looking for the driver and eventually gave up and caught a cab. Will never book this again.

Really negative experience

Roselee_F, Aug 2023

We waited in the arrival area of Terminal 3 at Heathrow for the Viator driver for an hour. Called Viator and was told that the driver would be at Terminal 5 in 10 minutes. There was no way that we could get there with our luggage. The expectation was that we would be picked up at our arrival terminal. At significant additional expense we had to secure other transportation to our hotel in London.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We understand how frustrating and upsetting it can be to wait for transportation after a long journey, especially when expecting seamless service. To rectify this situation and compensate for the additional expenses you had to incur due to securing alternative transportation to your hotel in London, we would like to offer you a full refund for the Viator service you booked. We believe this is the fairest solution to address the inconvenience and additional costs you endured. Please provide us with your booking details, such as the reservation number and the name on the booking, so that we can process the refund promptly.
