Best way to start London! - The views were fantastic! Best way to start our first trip to London! Our guide Chris was outstanding, the mini cooper was so much fun! Highly recommend and we will definitely to it again. My 11 year old son loved every second. You will not regret this private touring of this city! Chris took a ton of pictures for us and gave us the history and customize our tour to our needs!

Unique and incredible experience!!! - Amazing! Can’t say enough about how knowledgeable and friendly our guides Ian and Tom were. Learned so much, and they were very flexible and easy to work with. Showed us great spots that we would’ve never seen otherwise.

An Amazing Experience - An amazing half day with our guide Ian, who was friendly, chatty and knowledgeable. We saw so much in just 4 hours. Ian altered the route so that we could visit Freddie Mercury’s Garden Lodge, which was a place on my bucket list. We saw places like the Leake Arches that we wouldn’t have known about before. A perfect experience and highly recommended. Thank you!

An incredible day out in these marvelous minis - A brilliant experience zipping around the seedier side streets of London in these beautiful, charismatic little pocket rockets. Everywhere we went you could see people smile as we went by. The stop-offs and stories along the way were well chosen and told; sometimes quirky, sometimes funny, sometimes sad. It felt like we were in a little bubble of history, taken along in Britain's most characterful of cars. As eighteenth birthday presents go, this was perfect. Our son is still talking about it, and we know it will be a treasured memory for life for us all.

Personal and Special way to see London - Tony was amazing! We have seen a few of the big “sights” so he personalized our tour and we stopped at a few different interesting sights, all while Tony gave us background, history and fun stories to add to the sight! The car is a huge hit in the streets! It’s so fun, nostalgic and British. Be sure to book this tour it’s a great way to feel out London for all

This is the best of London! - We had a wonderful morning with Chris and Rhiannon! We had 2 Mini Coopers and they took us to the gems of London, plus the hidden gems! Our favorite was the graffiti tunnel. Wow! They had so much history to share and truly made us feel like locals. We have 3 kids, and they did a beautiful job of engaging our kiddos and making sure everyone was having fun. This was one of our top trip experiences! Highly recommend.

Our tour guide Jaime was great and the Mini was fun and attracted a lot of attention. - During our 1/2 day tour we were able to see all the highlights of London. Our tour guide Jaime was punctual and picked us up at our hotel. We immediately embarked on our 4 hour adventure! My wife and I were nervous that 4 hours would seem too long (in a small Mini) but it went by too quickly. I am very tall and had plenty of room in the front seat while my wife was comfortable in the back seat (behind the driver). Jaime was very knowledgeable about the city and was eager to hold pleasant conversation. My only regret is not doing this tour earlier in our trip so we would have been more knowledgeable about all of the fun things to see and do while we visited. Riding around London in a classic Mini attracted a lot of attention and we felt like stars with front row parking at many of our brief stops along the way. The timing of our experience worked out perfectly for a sunset view of the city from the top of Primrose Hill. The tour concluded with a return trip to our hotel. I’d recommend this experience to anyone visiting London - 10/10.
