London Highlights Private Tour by Car | 4, 6 or 8 Hours | From £295
Quick answer
A private London sightseeing tour by car with Chauffeurz costs from £295 per vehicle (around US$374) for 4 hours in a Budget Saloon up to 3 passengers. The 6-hour tour starts from £395 (~US$501) and the 8-hour from £495 (~US$628). All prices are per vehicle, not per person. Your chauffeur collects you from your hotel, drives you to each landmark, parks and waits while you get out and explore, then takes you on to the next stop. No group, no fixed route, no commentary — just your own private car connecting the highlights of London at your pace.
London at your pace, in your own private car
Your chauffeur collects you from your hotel and takes you to London’s most iconic landmarks — stopping at each one while you get out, walk around, and take your time. Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, St Paul’s, and wherever else you want to go. No Tube changes, no coach schedules, no walking between stops in the rain. Just your group, your car, and London.
How it works
Not a drive-by. Not a coach. Not a walking tour.
Your chauffeur picks you up from your hotel and drives you to each landmark on your list. At every stop, he parks or waits while you get out, walk around, take photographs, and spend as long as you like. When you are ready, he takes you to the next one. The car is your base — warm, dry, and always nearby.
There is no commentary and no guide — this is transport with stops, not a lecture. London’s landmarks are all labelled and explained on-site, and free audio apps cover everything you need. If you want an expert narrating each location, add a Blue Badge Guide for £250 for a half day.

These are suggestions only. Tell your chauffeur what matters most and he will plan the most efficient route to fit everything in.
Which duration is right for you?
Enough for the five or six most iconic spots at a good pace. Good for a layover, a half-day before flying, or visitors who know what they want and want to see it efficiently.
Time to see the main landmarks without rushing, stop for lunch, and add a second area — Notting Hill, the South Bank, or Covent Garden. The right balance for most groups.
A complete day. All the landmarks, a proper lunch, a neighbourhood, and time for anything specific your group wants — a market, a museum, a riverside walk. If you are not coming back, this is the one.

Questions
How much does a private London sightseeing tour cost?+
London Highlights tours start from £295 (around US$374) for a 4-hour Budget Saloon up to 3 passengers. The 6-hour tour starts from £395 (~US$501) and the 8-hour from £495 (~US$628). All prices are per vehicle, not per person. A family of 6 in an Executive MPV for 6 hours pays £595 total — roughly US$126 each.
What landmarks does the tour cover?+
The route is flexible and entirely yours to decide. Standard highlights include Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, Trafalgar Square, and the Thames Embankment. Longer tours can add the South Bank, Notting Hill, Greenwich, Hyde Park, Covent Garden, or any neighbourhood you want to explore. Tell your chauffeur your priorities and he will plan the most efficient route.
Do we get out of the car at each stop?+
Yes. Your chauffeur parks or waits while you get out, walk around, take photographs, and explore at your own pace. This is not a drive-by tour — the car takes you between stops so you spend your time at the landmarks, not underground or waiting for buses between them.
Is a guide included?+
No. Your chauffeur drives, manages the route, and knows London well — he will suggest stops and tell you what is nearby — but does not provide formal historical commentary. If you want an expert narrating each location, we can arrange a qualified Blue Badge Guide from £250 for a half day. Most visitors find London’s on-site information and free audio apps provide everything they need.
How many hours should we book?+
4 hours is right if you have limited time or have been to London before and know exactly what you want to see. 6 hours is the most popular — main landmarks plus lunch and a second area, at a comfortable pace. 8 hours is for first-time visitors with a full day, or anyone who wants to cover London comprehensively including a neighbourhood, a market, and the main sights.
Can we start from Heathrow or Gatwick?+
Yes. A London Highlights tour starting from Heathrow on your arrival day is one of the best ways to make the most of your first day. Your chauffeur picks you up from arrivals, takes you around London’s highlights, and drops you at your hotel at the end. Ask us when you book and we will price the airport start into the tour.
Is there a minimum number of passengers?+
No. The price is per vehicle, not per person. One person pays the same as three in a Budget Saloon. For families of 4-6, the per-person cost of a private tour becomes very competitive compared to individual hop-on hop-off bus tickets.
What is the cancellation policy?+
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your collection time. Inside 24 hours, charges apply as set out in our Terms and Conditions.
