About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Rayna T0 contributionsMaximum fun in a Mini - see the other LondonWe were warned this would be the best tour of London and Ada the Mini Mayfair and Chris her driver certainly delivered. If you have seen London from all angles before, try zipping around in a mini for a different view. Thanks Ada and Chris, back next time for the mothers ruin gin tour😊Written 6 October 2024
- C813UBjessican0 contributionsDefinitely recommend! Fun!So fun! Really great tour that the kids and adults both loved! Learned lots of fun facts and history and saw some special sites!Written 2 October 2024
- clhurd0 contributionsGreat insight and a LOT of fun!We had a fantastic time touring London with 3 great guides. These 3 fellows not only showed us the popular sights but some of the greatest areas we would have never seen. Incredibly witty and knowledgeable. Super fun time!!! I do suggest doing a little stretching before the tour and having dinner afterwards. A bit snug but a blast!!! Highly recommend!!!!Written 30 September 2024
- 126aaronf0 contributionsAbsolutely perfect afternoon with Nick!This was my 2nd tour and was just as great as the first time back in May. Highly recommended! We spent 4 hours this time and saw so much and learned so much from Nick. Definitely ask for Nick, he was amazing.Written 15 September 2024
- Pathfinder5208760 contributionsDo it!Definitely one of the highlights of our visits. Rhiannon is a gem, my teens loved her. An absolutely amazing way to see the sights I can’t recommend highly enough.Written 6 September 2024
- Maurice A0 contributionsQuirky fun in LondonTom (driver) was great fun and really enthusiastic to make it a great experience . Showed us things and told stories about London that we hadn’t heard. The car was great fun … always stuck to the speed limit … and attracted lots of attention. We were not small people … and the adults were 60+ but we were able to fit in. Really worth doing compared to the traditional tour. Had a hoot!Written 29 August 2024
- alexbU5863IW0 contributionsLittle Lulu was great, so was Sean!What a wonderful tour! We were smitten with our little Mini - Lulu, and our driver Sean was wonderful! We would 100% recommend this to friends as it was a great way to see the city; very personal which I don’t feel you get on a bus tour etc!Written 29 August 2024
- jonsA2247QS0 contributionsGreat Way to Experience London!WOW! such a great experience from start to end. Tom, our guide and driver knows his cars, and his history. He was a fabulous guide. My brother, 16 year old niece and I had a great time seeing the city from Our Mini. Our guide was so knowledgeable and cool , taking us to places you couldn't get to on a big bus or even a walking tour in 2 hours. We all got something out of it. High recommend. 5 stars. I would do it again in a minute. A fabulous way and stylish way to see London!Written 19 August 2024
- RichT-SF0 contributionsThis is how everyone should be welcomed to London!Matt was our guide. Best guide ever. We arrived late into Heathrow, but he had already reached out to us to check our timing and reassure his flexibility. We loved the Mini, but what really made this two hour tour special was how Matt showed us all around the neighborhoods, and sites providing historical and cultural context all while making pals with our 9-yr-old. He was able to get us up close to sites past the throngs of tourists to give us a truly intimate insider’s lens of the city. Matt was fun, relaxed and just an all around great guy. It was like being welcomed to London by your favorite cousin. It was the perfect way arrive into London. Thank you, Matt!Written 19 August 2024
- joannee3450 contributionsCool way to see off the radar sights of LondonWould highly recommend doing a small car big city tour to anyone visiting London. A great way to see things close up, and also sights that most tour buses take you too. Rhiannon, our guide gave us lots of information and history about the places we visited. On top of all that the car is pretty cool, and lots of fun zipping around London streets in.Written 15 August 2024
- C4498HChenrym0 contributionsSuperb fun and a great activity for a stag doFun drivers, super cool cars and forever memories. Specially going over Tower Bridge in 3 classic MINIs We enjoyed learning all the things about London (although we live here) and got great recommondations for our day.Written 14 August 2024
- rachaelrT1408LL0 contributionsA day in Paddington Bear's footstepsI went on the Paddington's Marmalade Tour and can honestly say it was such a fun experience. Chris the driver was full of information about London- I saw places I had not been to before, even as a regular visitor to the city. The team had thought of everything with Paddington so not only did I get to see places from the film but there was an interactive IPAD in the car to relive some of those movie moments. The cute case of Paddington souvenirs includes a pop up book and marmalade sandwich. Chris was really flexible with the itinerary so it was possible to get out of the car and walk round places too including visiting Mr Gruber's shop. It was also fun being in a classic Mini Cooper- definitely attracted attention in Central London. This is a lovely tour for kids- and adults.Written 6 August 2024

This was a 60th birthday present for my wife and proved to be an excellent choice. We went on a 2 hour "Mother's Ruin" tour of the City of London in a beautiful red 1974 Mini Cooper, driven for us by the brilliant Chris. Now, both my wife and I have worked in London and thought we knew it quite well - how wrong we were! Chris had so many interesting facts and stories to tell us that took our knowledge to a new level! We also stopped off for 3 drinks during the tour. I can not recommend this tour highly enough.

This company is top notch. It was exactly as advertised and we were picked up from our hotel-door to door service.
Our driver Rhiannon was punctual, knowledgeable, and a fantastic driver. We took photos with our classic Mini car name Ada, and it was an absolute thrill to toodle around the city.
Rhiannon told us details of the city that we did not know about, and she made stops for us to have a walkabout. Complimentary water was available. The sights especially driving down The Mall was exhilarating!
The open sunroof lent itself to taking photos of Big Ben, House of Commons, Westminister Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Burlington Arcade, Waterloo station & the Graffiti tunnel under the station, and much more.
Rhiannon made us feel welcomed, and she and the car ride was a definite highlight of our trip to London. Highly recommend! To note: I was able to get into the back seat easily, but those with mobility issues might not be able to do this maneuver. Best to discuss before renting. Thank you for making our time unique and special.

This has been one of my favorite parts of London so far. It's my first time to the UK (from Canada) and this was an amazing way to see the city and learn about all the hot spots and hidden jems.
I'm a huge mini fan so driving around in London in Agnes was absolutely epic!! Rhiannon was also spectacular, I loved how knowledgeable she was about the city, and how friendly and personable she was.
We stopped at lots of places to take pictures and walk around to explore. I couldn't write down all the stuff she was telling me fast enough! I highly recommend this tour (and Rhiannon!) for any one looking to learn about the city, and in way more style than the hop on bus. 😉

We LOVED our private tour! It was such a great way to kick-start our vacation and see some of the lesser known areas and be able to park in quick spots to jump out for photo opps (and leaving our own graffiti). Zipping around the city was so much faster and personal than a large bus. The cars do require a bit of limbo action to hop in the backseat....but that added to the fun.

Amazing way to finish out a trip to London. Our guide Chris was a gem to personalize the stops based on our requests. He didn’t rush us and chatted with us and made us feel like a local. Highly reccomend and ask for Chris!

Rhiannon was an absolute pleasure as our guide/driver. She knew the best hidden gems around the city and gave us enough time to explore on our own. She definitely knew how to whip the Mini around traffic!

Robert was our favorite tour guide while we were in London for the holidays. My two sons (17 & 14) joined me on this tour. He filled it with interesting sites/stories. It was exciting and insightful with some of the most interesting side spots that most tourists don’t get to experience. My older son really enjoyed talking about cars with Robert that day. It was one of the more memorable parts of our first trip to London and southern England.

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!!

Wow! Amazing experience with our guide and driver Jonathan. He is a wealth of knowledge and will take you all over London and to spots you would never see otherwise. He is not only a London expert (history, current events, trivia, Bond, Beatles), but an excellent and skilled driver!!! So much fun. This is a must do for a London visit.
