London sightseeing tour

Explore many of London’s most famous landmarks in the comfort of a private vehicle. A London sightseeing itinerary can include:

  • Buckingham Palace
  • Houses of Parliament & Big Ben
  • Westminster Abbey
  • Downing Street
  • London Eye
  • St Paul’s Cathedral
  • Tower of London
  • Tower Bridge

These landmarks cover some of London’s best-known royal, historic and riverside sights, and several are naturally grouped around Westminster and the Thames.

Your driver can take you between the main sights and stop at suitable locations where permitted, giving you the opportunity to take photographs and explore selected attractions.

The itinerary can be tailored according to the time you have available and the attractions you would particularly like to see.

Full-day tours from London

Want to discover more of England? We can arrange a private vehicle and driver for a full-day sightseeing tour from London, with three suggested itineraries.

Windsor Castle, Stonehenge & Bath

Experience three of England’s best-known historic destinations in one day. Visit Windsor, home to Windsor Castle, continue through the English countryside to prehistoric Stonehenge, and finish in the historic city of Bath, famous for its Roman heritage and Georgian architecture.

Oxford, Blenheim Palace & the Cotswolds

Discover the historic university city of Oxford, continue to magnificent Blenheim Palace, and enjoy a drive through the beautiful Cotswolds, with its picturesque countryside, traditional villages and distinctive stone buildings.

This is an excellent choice for passengers who want to combine English history, architecture and countryside in a single day.

Leeds Castle, Canterbury & the White Cliffs of Dover

Travel into Kent for a full-day tour combining Leeds Castle, the historic cathedral city of Canterbury, and the spectacular White Cliffs of Dover on the English coast.

The itinerary combines castle history, one of England’s most famous cathedral cities and the scenery of the Kent coastline.

Private & flexible

Our sightseeing tours are private, so you travel only with your own party. Collection can be arranged from your hotel, private address or London airport, with return to your preferred destination at the end of the tour.
