Your Flight Lands. Your London Story Begins.
A private black cab meets you at Arrivals — luggage handled, route tailored, history narrated. The drive to your hotel becomes your first London tour, not dead time. Landmarks, churches, hidden corners. Your pace, your interests, your cab. No queue. No waiting. No wasted morning.
From Runway to History — Before Your Room Is Ready
Land at Heathrow or Gatwick early? Hotel check-in not until the afternoon? That gap isn't dead time — it's four hours of London waiting to happen. Here's how we turn a transfer into an experience.
We Meet You at Arrivals
Your licensed black cab driver is waiting with a name sign. Flight delayed? We tracked it. No extra charge. You collect your luggage — we take it from there.
Luggage Goes In, You Settle In
Our cab fits up to six guests plus standard luggage. Bags are stowed securely. You relax while we pull away from the terminal. This is where the transfer ends and the tour begins.
Your Route, Your Interests
Tell us what fascinates you. Royal history. Churchill and the Blitz. Christopher Wren's churches. Roman London. Film locations. Hidden alleyways. Or just the greatest hits — Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, St. Paul's. Every tour is built from scratch around you.
London Narrated, Not Just Driven Through
Your driver is a Knowledge-licensed black cab driver who knows the streets, shortcuts, and stories that guidebooks miss. You hear the history as you pass it. Photo stops whenever you want. No rush. No script. Just real London, explained.
Hotel Drop-Off, Refreshed and Oriented
We pull up to your hotel. Luggage unloaded. You check in already knowing the city — its layout, its landmarks, its feel. Most visitors spend their first day disoriented. You arrive ahead of the game.
Arrive refreshed
Check in to your hotel with jet lag eased and London already under your belt. No dead time.
Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.
One fixed price. One black cab. One seamless experience from airport arrivals to hotel check-in. Here's what's covered.
Licensed Black Cab & Driver
A traditional London black cab with a fully licensed, Knowledge-qualified driver. Not a rideshare. Not a minicab. The real thing, with space for up to six guests and luggage.
Flight Tracking & Delay Monitoring
We monitor your flight in real time. Delayed by two hours? We adjust. No stress. No surcharge. Your driver is there when you land.
Meet & Greet at Arrivals
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign. No hunting for a pickup point. No app confusion. Face to face, bags handled, straight to the cab.
Fully Bespoke Tour Route
No two Arrive & Explore tours are the same. Tell us your interests — history, architecture, churches, film, food, markets — and we build the journey around you. The route, the stops, the stories are all yours.
Luggage Stays With You
Your bags travel securely in the cab throughout. No baggage storage. No locker hunt. Everything stays with you until hotel drop-off.
Fixed All-In Price
The price you're quoted is the price you pay. No meter. No traffic surcharges. No per-person pricing. One cab, one price, confirmed before you book.

I arrived exhausted from my flight, but the tour while waiting for my hotel check-in completely changed my mood. Brilliant way to start a London visit.

Business traveller from Manchester
Martin made every stop meaningful. Learning the history of the churches and landmarks while sorting luggage was perfect. Tours and Terminals got it right.
Sophie Davies
Tourist from Edinburgh
No waiting in arrivals lounges, no confusion about transport. The cab became my first experience of London, and it was exactly what I needed.
Robert Chen
International visitor from Singapore
The flexibility to customise my tour based on my interests was exceptional. The driver knew London inside out and made the experience feel personal.
Anna Kowalski
Holiday visitor from Poland
Arrived at Heathrow stressed about getting settled. Two hours later I'd seen Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and felt like I actually knew London.
David Thompson
Corporate client from Dublin
Perfect timing before my hotel check-in. The driver was knowledgeable, the cab was comfortable, and I didn't feel rushed. Highly recommend for airport arrivals.
