We recover transits of WASP-18 b and WASP-33 b from Hipparcos (1989-1993)photometry. Marginal detections of HAT-P-56 b and HAT-P-2 b may be also presentin the data. New ephemerides are fitted to WASP-18 b and WASP-33 b. A tentative(~1.3 sigma) orbital decay is measured for WASP-18 b, but the implied tidalquality factor (Q' ~ 5 x 10^5) is small and survival time (<10^6 years) is tooshort to be likely. No orbital decay is measured for WASP-33 b, and a limit ofQ' > 2 x 10^5 is placed. For both planets, the uncertainties in publishedephemerides appear underestimated: the uncertainty in the period derivative ofWASP-18 b would be greatly reduced if its current ephemeris could be betterdetermined.
