There's a range of tours from 30 minutes to all day and I've tried one of these tours and loved it! Your Guide is the Driver and there's room for 3 passengers. It's not as cramped as you think and we had fun waving at passers-by who all wanted to take photos of us in the car!

The Guide/Driver has a good knowledge of London and can offer the basic sightseeing information or more quirky tales and historical facts for those who know the city well.
