A smooth London-to-Southampton transfer with a guided Stonehenge intro, entry included, and a drop at your cruise terminal, right on time.
“it's a long drive between Heathrow airport and the cruise terminal. Adding stone hedge into the trip was a nice add in. There was some confusion as to the correct pick-up time (We waited for nearly 2 hours because our pickup time showed 7:00 AM. The hotel called for us and found that the bus leaves London at our pickup time and it would be 9:00-9:30 before we were picked up. We had already checked out of the hotel. We ended up waiting in the hotel lobby for the 2+ hours)”
iFLY Basingstoke indoor skydiving lets kids and adults enjoy freefall in a vertical wind tunnel, with two flights and a certificate.
“Disappointed doesn’t begin to describe, how I was left after my IFly experience. We are told we had to arrive 45 mins early otherwise we would be unable to fly. After travelling an hour to Basingstoke we were weighed and left to sit for 40 minutes prior to anyone even approaching us. We were then issued our equipment which took about 10 minutes. We walked to the tunnel and began our experience. What isn’t clear on the website is that 3 skydives is only 120 seconds in the tunnel! We paid £140 to be in the tunnel less time than it took to get the suit on. When you are…”

A small-group 2-hour walk through Winchester, from Westgate Museum and the Great Hall to the Cathedral and Wolvesey Castle.

Post-cruise coach trip from Southampton to London via Salisbury, Stonehenge, and Windsor, with guided stops and included tickets.

Cruise day made easy: a luxury coach transfer with Salisbury, Stonehenge, and Windsor, plus guided tours and door-to-door drops in London.
“We were picked up in the cruise terminal in Southhampton. Our guide was great - the bus was really nice and they were very organized with loading the luggage for the drop offs for the end of the day. I highly recommend this to see Stonehenge and Windsor castle after your cruise. We loved being dropped off directly from our hotel.”
Executive coach from London to Southampton via Stonehenge, with entry, audio tour, and drop-off ready for your cruise in about 6 hours.
“Both our guide, Valentina, and our coach driver, George, were excellent in their respective roles. Both were very personal and professional. Valentina was full of knowledge and had an awesome personality. George was an excellent driver. Stonehenge was amazing. I would highly recommend International Friends as an excursion company if you are in need of transportation from a London hotel to the port of Southampton with a stop at Stonehenge.”

“Good value for the money paid for the entrance fee, there is a reasonable amount to see, should get better once the landing craft is able to be viewed, the only gripe is now everything has to be so clean the trays in the cafe need a damn good washing, unfortunately the material they seem to be made from may not allow this? Either way, wash or change them!!”
Ride the world’s only commercial foot passenger hovercraft from Southsea to Ryde in about 10 minutes, then explore the Isle of Wight.

Small-group Portsmouth walk with naval stories, tower and cathedral stops, and waterfront breaks, no Historic Dockyard or ships.
“My partner and I would highly recommend the tour with Steve. The weather was a bit unpredictable but Steve worked around it, finding a pub whilst it rained and going through the history of Portsmouth with photos. When it stopped raining, he took us on the tour, his knowledge is endless and he shows you sides of Portsmouth you wouldn’t normally explore. Highly recommended if you’re looking to get a rounded knowledge of the city. Steve is friendly and truly could answer any question!”
