What you'll see
We make 2 pickups (one in Boulogne-sur-Mer then a second in Coquelles). Each traveler registered for the excursion will join the coach (at one of the 2 pick-up points of your choice) at the precise times indicated and reminded by email 24 hours before the excursion. (compliance with timetables is essential, as Eurotunnel or ferry shuttle hours cannot be changed and must be respected).
As soon as all the passengers are in place in the coach, the driver and manager will take the road towards the boat or the tunnel. Before you can board, head to the tunnel for a 30-minute crossing or the boat for a 2-hour crossing.
Once in England, allow an average of 2 hours by road to reach the capital. You will be dropped off there right in the center, in Hyde Park (at the start of the Park Line precisely).
A map will be distributed to you, offering you a typical pedestrian route for a first visit to London. You are free to follow it or make your own route.
Once dropped off, you are free for 8 hours (approximately). Meet at exactly the same place, in the evening, for the return trip with a head full of memories (and sometimes a full bag)
