Amazing experience. Very happy
I cannot say enough good things about EC minibus. It was easy to find the driver and they were even a little early. Car was clean, comfortable and spacious. When I come back to the UK, I will absolutely be using them again. Thank you for making the transfer so easy and efficient!!! 10/10

The driver did a great...
The driver did a great job. We just needed a ride to get to our next stop and he was friendly and on time.
via Viator
The weather was horrible...
The weather was horrible that day, but we made it to ship with ample time to spare. Our driver explained it was taking a bit longer, due to an accident on the highway. Back roads allowed us to see some of the beautiful country side.

Shared ride brings the cost down for a solo traveller.
Having a shared ride with other people reduced the fare for me as a solo traveller. When the booking was made by my travel agent I received an email from Viator to say they don’t pick up at the airport I needed to go to a hotel. So I had to make my way with all my luggage after travelling 27 hours to Hilton Garden Inn to be picked up. Yet after googled the closest hotel and how to get there on foot I confirmed I would be there to Viator. But I received a couple of emails from them saying they were picking me up from the airport. I had to email back each time to reconfirm exactly where they were picking me up. The driver was very obliging but didn’t speak good English and I don’t think he had done that trip before. He missed the turn to pick me up at Hilton Garden Inn which was tricky, but it meant he had to do a big detour to get back to me, which made him late to pick me up. Then on the trip to Southampton every now and then he would swing the wheel quite sharply when we changed lanes giving us sitting in the back a bit of a lurch. The couple in the car with me were from Canada and mentioned they had been picked up from the airport on other occasions so why couldn’t I have been?

Why this scores 42
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Port Arrival or Departure Shared Ride to London and Southampton: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Port Arrival or Departure Shared Ride to London and Southampton cost?
+
Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Port Arrival or Departure Shared Ride to London and Southampton take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Port Arrival or Departure Shared Ride to London and Southampton worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Port Arrival or Departure Shared Ride to London and Southampton?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Port Arrival or Departure Shared Ride to London and Southampton suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Port Arrival or Departure Shared Ride to London and Southampton?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Port Arrival or Departure Shared Ride to London and Southampton start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
