Explore London’s landmark sights on a private full-day drive, with a choice of driver-guide or separate guide and chauffeur.

About this tour

See London’s best-known sights in a single day on a private car tour, with a guide to bring the city’s history into view. Travel by Mercedes E-Class or V-Class, with an expert driver-guide or a separate guide and chauffeur, depending on your selected option.

The panoramic drive takes in Parliament Square, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey, with the chance to watch the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace or Horse Guards Parade. Choose the separate tour guide option for entry to St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London; these entries are not included with the driver-guide option. St. Paul’s Cathedral closes on Sundays and during special events, when the visit may be replaced by exterior photos and extra time at the Tower, if selected.

A private vehicle makes it easy to cover a broad sweep of London in one day. Choose your guide option and set out to discover the capital’s landmark sights.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 33% in London means it ranks in the top 33% of tours in London by this score.
