pier Posted August 19, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2011 We are looking for recommendations for private shuttles that go from London to Dover. We want to be picked up at our hotel. If you've had a recent experience with a good company, please post. We are considering Silver Fleet Transfers. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted August 19, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2011 You should do a search on this question. There have been many companies recommended at various times. We used an excellent company in July 2010 for this transfer from our London hotel but unfortunately I am away from home and don't have the name of the company we used. But search, and ye shall find. Plus I'm sure others will chime in here. Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benita Posted August 19, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2011 We loved our transfer from Dover to Heathrow - we used a company - http://www.toursoftherealm.com It is owned by a woman named Jane Martin. She picked us up at the ship and spent the day with us. We went to Dover to see the white cliffs, then through the back roads to Canterbury, then to a great pub lunch, then to Leeds Castle, getting us to our Heathrow hotel about dinnertime. It was like having a private guide in a port, except the tour ended at the hotel. She lives in the Canterbury area, so does a great deal of London-Dover or Heathrow-Dover trips.

Cruiser John Posted August 19, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2011 We used Silver Fleet for a transfer from LHR to Dover in June. Service was excellent in every way. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skigrams Posted August 19, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 19, 2011 coastal_cars01@yahoo.com I have used this company twice now and have recommended them to clients. Give them a try. I am going to travel with them on Tuesday, as a matter of fact, since my cruise leaves out of Dover on Wednesday. Good luck. Bobi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchestrapal Posted August 19, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 19, 2011 We have always gotten the best rates, by far, from Totallydriven.co.uk. Used them from both Heathrow and Gatwick as well as Dover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pier Posted August 19, 2011 Author #9 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Thank you all for your help. I didn't do a search on this because I wanted recent experiences. Sometimes companies or guides change the way they do business. The most recent experiences are usually the most telling. We got a good price from Silver Fleet. John, since you were pleased, we're sure we will be, too. Benita--I'm saving your information for another cruise: you had what sounds like a perfect day!
