The Experience

So, you wish to see the famous sights, but you also fancy yourself a bit of an explorer? A splendid choice. This 3-hour expedition is designed for those who want to peel back the layers of London like a particularly interesting onion.

This tour is the “Goldilocks” of our collection—not too short, not too long, but just right. We invite you to climb aboard a restored classic Mini Cooper, retract the full-length sunroof, and experience the capital in glorious technicolour.

Our 3-hour highlights and hidden gems tour of London will take you to the landmarks you know and love, such as The Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and St Paul’s Cathedral, but we will also show you the hidden gems that so often get missed from the guidebooks. We will visit the famous Leake Street graffiti tunnel, local markets, pubs and secret hidden gardens.

You will travel in a fully restored classic Mini Cooper with a passionate local guide at the wheel to bring the history of London to life and show you some hidden nooks and crannies you might not be so familiar with. We will ensure that you have an unforgettable experience, one that will provide you with memories that last a lifetime.

What to expect

We cover the essential postcards—Big Ben, The London Eye, Tower Bridge—but we refuse to stick to the main drag. The beauty of a classic Mini Cooper is its ability to slip down the narrow medieval lanes where the lumbering red buses simply cannot fit.

We shall whisk you away to secret squares, ancient Roman remains hidden in basement car parks, and the finest street art in the East End. Your guide will regale you with tales of scandal and history that you won’t find on Wikipedia. It is a masterclass in “being in the know.”

A comprehensive 3-hour tour of London, stopping at hand chosen locations for some lovely photographs of the most famous landmarks in the capital and quirky stories in off-the-beaten-track local spots.

Each of our classic Mini Coopers can carry 3 passengers. You are welcome to book up to 3 minis for your group online. For groups of more than 9 people, please contact us.
