    Incredible adventure
    This was an incredible experience, our driver Chris was the perfect guide and driver. We loved DOT, and will be coming back next June to do another tour. Make sure that you book this tour, they are the best and really excellent value for money. The only way to see London!

    Amazing way to see London
    It was all a big surprise for my wife on our Wedding anniversary, Chris contacted me the night before and we made arrangements to enhance the surprise. The day was set and after eating out we causally walked down the rd and saw a mini, and we asked the driver, (wink wink) Chris if we could take a picture and of course he said yes, I then told my wife what I had arranged. We were then whisked all over central London in this classic, Chris was knowledgeable and added so much more than I expected to the trip including fun and excitement. We have lived in London for many years and still we found the information given was entertaining and factual, We would and have recommended this trip to friends and family. Thank you Chris for helping and being a part of our celebrations.

    Great Fun!
    So much fun! Our group of six adults, ages 30-80, had a wonderful time in three Minis. Chris was a fantastic leader - we saw the sites, learned some history, got some great tips for our stay, laughed, and felt like rock stars as people were photographing us driving by. Definitely a fun way to spend the day! We all highly recommend this unique, high energy tour!!

    Fantastic experience.
    Top class experience and very flexible service. We were delayed due to flight issues, this was not a problem, the drivers welcomed us for our 2 car tour, both groups were impressed by their drivers knowledge and sense of fun. The two hours flew by and even ran on with no extra costs, very generous! So good that I will do this again. Well done all.

    Will book again!!
    Tom was an amazing tour guide and it was an excellent way to start our 14th wedding anniversary! The Mini Cooper is such a classic car and it was a joy spending the morning touring one of our favorite cities! We will absolutely book again on the next trip. Thanks again, Tom!

    This was a fun way to see the city and at night! We did the night tour for 90 minutes and it was awesome. Jamie was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable on the sites and places that we passed in London. He even took us to things we had no clue about or that we would have not know about. He dropped us off where we requested and we wandered back to our hotel. They were timely and responsive and communicative the entire time from booking to event time. Don’t walk…run to this experience!

Tony was our guide and our tour was fantastic. I only had 1/2 day in London with my 20 yr old son and I wanted him to see as many London landmarks as we could fit in. I started by emailing SCBC requesting we cover most major ones including: Big Ben, Westminister Abbey, Tower Bridge, St Pauls, and end in Covent Garden for lunch.

Tony went above and beyond so we could see everything on our list. We paid a little extra but it was worth it.

My son said the highlight was seeing the graffiti at the Leake St arches. Being cool and young, it was a treat for him to see urban art in such a proper city.

We ended up at Covent Garden for lunch and shopping and really could not have covered so much ground if it weren't for Tony driving his mini cooper and dodging in and out of the large summer crowds of London.

Thank you!

Sorry it has taken so long ( 1 and half year) for me to write this review!! We visited UK Jan last year as covid just started to leave us along, fortunately the weather was beautiful almost on our whole vacation. I saw this tour on youtube before covid and thought it was fun then book it, that was back to 2019 for a Feb 2020 tour. Then we all know what happened, covid came, we as Australians been locked down in the country for 3 years, every now and then when there is a chance of lock down cancellation I will email them and the team is so patient and nice, waited for 3 years, and finally took us on Jan 2022. Our driver Ian was so friendly, chatty and took us to a good coffee!! ( which you know that's the most important thing for the aussie lol) , he knows every corner of London, told us lots of stories and tales, and even sent me a long list of must-visited bars! I really should write this review 16 mths ago but after getting back to Sydney the busyness just completely swamped with work. Until now we are going back to Europe again I finally remember I own this team a nice review and a HUGE THANK YOU!!!! I've recommended this tour to lots of my friends in the last year and heard lots of good feedbacks from them, I wish all the best for this team!

If you are wanting to see all the London highlights in a condensed tour which has both the fun and wow factor then this is the tour to do. We had a group of 5 so had Joshua and Stevie as our drivers and they were both amazing. Their humour, knowledge and driving skills....legendary! We had an amazing day from driving around London seeing all the sights like Buckingham palace, to Leake St arches, to a stop at the pub and arriving right out front of the Borough Markets on a Saturday arvo it certainly was an incredible four hours. Thanks guys for a truly special day out.

What a way to beat the lockdown blues! We hired a classic mini for half a day and took it for a spin around Surrey. Best fun we’ve had in ages. Tony was extremely accommodating and ensured we had all we needed before we headed off solo. Highly recommended!

Amazing activity!! We had so much great time with the team visiting places from London not very well-known. Chris was our driver and Lulu our beautiful blue tiffany color mini cooper <3 Chris made our visit an amazing experience telling us beautiful and interesting stories about London. My favorite one was the wrong spelling of Convent Garden. He was really nice and has the best playlist ever!
Thank you so much to all the team for such a lovley experience!!

We had the most wonderful experience with Jamie and his Mini Cooper Agnes. He is a fantastic driver and completely mesmerizing with his knowledge of London and areas. We took the tour early in our visit to London and returned to several of the areas he took us to for further be exploration. Worth every penny and one of the best City tours I've ever been on.

Tom is AMAZING 🤩!!! We had a lovely tour with him starting in the borough market hitting all the main spots and then he really catered to us by going down side streets hitting a few places we wanted to see and shop at and then treating us to a wonderful drink along with bits of chocolate. Truly- this is the only way to see London! Tom’s perfectly tweeded outfit along with his London charm and wit enhanced our overall experience!

We are in the travel business and for the record did not get this tour for free just to vet it out properly. We work hard to find the “gems” in different destinations and this tour is certainly a gem.

Tom was absolutely fantastic and showed up in his pristine mini Cooper nicknamed “Dorothy”. He was flexible and willing to switch our meeting spot to fit our changing schedule. Dorothy tapped her ruby red slippers and showed us that there’s no place like London like home! We learned all kind of things about all kind of things - both big & small in London and had a fantastic day! I can’t say enough about this tour & Tom. He knows the way to a ladies heart … allowing a stop to shop, grab a cocktail and top it all off with chocolates! What a great day!

We had such a wonderful afternoon! This was a one of a kind experience that allowed us to see the sites of London. We planned the tour at the beginning of our trip and learned a great deal about the city. Tom is incredibly knowledgeable, a terrific driver, and has such a wonderful sense of humour. We had the best time and loved the experience. What a treat to also be in a Classic Mini Cooper. Thank you!

We did it twice and have sent many friend for it. And we loved it again. The cars are amazing and the tour takes you out of the touristic spots to hidden london gems. Note: we live in london!

Everyone loves the car. You’ll be part of the attraction. And the drivers have so many quirky stories and location. You’ll see a different side of this amazing city!
