Private personalised driving tour of London's highlights
London has been my home for over 30 years and every time I visit the centre of the city I discover a new piece of its remarkable history. It is a special place and truly has something for everyone.
You will see, at close quarters, London's highlights - royal palaces, impressive state buildings in Westminster, the buzzing shopping and entertainment areas of The West End and see London's lifeline, the River Thames. You will gain an insight into the ancient City of London's fascinating history and hear incredible stories from its past.
On this customised tour there are opportunities to explore and take photos of those iconic sights. We can stop for coffee/tea and also find a great place for lunch in a typical London pub or cafe or maybe have a picnic in one of London's beautiful parks or open spaces.
You will tour in a comfortable 5 seater SUV with A/C affording great views. Pick up and drop off from your accommodation or from a London Airport or port. Many choose to stay in town in the evening to see a show

This tour can be customised to suit your preferences but here is an example of a typical day:-

Read More Reviews For This TourNigel was a great tour guide. He took us to many places we would not have seen if on a bus tour. His knowledge of the city and history of the country were exceptional. Thank you, Nigel, for a great day.
