Stay away!!
This company sells their tours as "Bespoke Luxury trips of London" but in reality all you get is a driver on a van driving you around London. I paid for a driver guide and to be honest their "guides" are not real England certified guides. They are drivers that drive you around, stop in a few places for you to take photos and then take you back to your hotel. Save yourself the money and book a London black cab instead! They will be more knowledgable and it will cost you half the price.
Response from the operator: We would like to address this review, as it does not reflect a genuine client experience with our company. To be absolutely clear: the individual who posted this review has never booked or taken a tour with us. We have no record of this person in our system, and the claims made do not correspond to any service we have ever provided. This review forms part of an ongoing and documented case of attempted extortion. Prior to posting reviews, the individual contacted us directly demanding payment in exchange for not publishing negative content. This matter has been reported to Tripadvisor, and supporting evidence has been provided. The statements made in this review are not only false, but also misleading: Our tours are private, bespoke experiences led by professional driver-guides who provide commentary and insight throughout the day. We do not advertise Blue Badge Guides unless specifically requested and arranged in advance. Our service is clearly positioned as a premium, driver-guide led experience, which is accurately reflected in our many verified reviews from genuine guests. We take great pride in the quality, authenticity, and personalisation of our tours, and our long-standing reputation is built on real client experiences — not fabricated claims. We are confident this review has been posted in bad faith and is part of a wider scam targeting tour operators. We trust that Tripadvisor will take appropriate action to remove this fraudulent content. The Bespoke England Tours Team

Phenomenal way to see the city
Peter was a phenomenal host and guide. We spent our afternoon with him on our first full day in London and it was a perfect way to see the city and to learn some historical highlights. The car was comfortable and Peter was extremely personable. My husband and I had a great afternoon.
Response from the operator: Dear Sarah, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review. I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed your tour with Peter, he’ll be delighted with your feedback! We look forward to welcoming you again on your next trip to England. Best wishes! David Garcia Owner Bespoke England Tours

Great tour with Peter!
We had the most wonderful guide Peter. He was so accommodating to our requests to view specific places and he was so easy to talk to. Even my 3 young kids loved him. He never failed to share interesting nuggets of history behind the different monuments and places of interest throughout the way. We learned so much and enjoyed so much!
Response from the operator: Dear Wendy, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review. I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed your tour with Peter, he’ll be delighted with your feedback! We look forward to welcoming you again on your next trip to England. Best wishes! David Garcia Owner Bespoke England Tours

Great London tour guide!!
Our daughter, three grandchildren, my husband and I had a really fun day touring the highlights of London’s most famous sites with our knowledgeable, attentive, and fun, born and bred Londoner guide, David Garcia. His Mercedes minivan was clean and comfortable, as we drove to several places. If you plan to your London, we highly recommend David Garcia of Bespoke England Tours and his 16+ years of experience as a tour guide!!
Response from the operator: Dear Nathalie, Thanks for taking the time to leave us such a great review. I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed your tour with me and please give my regards to the rest of the family. We look forward to welcoming you again on your next trip to England. Best wishes! David

The best!!
David was absolutely amazing!! From the planning process to the finger foods and photos stops, he made sure every details was perfect. We needed something very bespoke for our colleagues from overseas and David managed to accommodate it all. This was particularly difficult as our tour was taking place at the same time as the Jubilee Weekend. Super planning! Super logistics! Super accommodating! Super polite!! Wouldn’t hesitate to contact him again for the next corporate event!
Response from the operator: Dear Julia, Thank you for taking the time to leave us this great review. It was a pleasure to work with you to make sure your team got the best possible experience in London during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee! We hope to be able to organise more corporate events for you again soon. Best wishes, David

Why this scores 45
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
London Highlights Private Car with Driver Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does London Highlights Private Car with Driver Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $600 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does London Highlights Private Car with Driver Guide take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is London Highlights Private Car with Driver Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule London Highlights Private Car with Driver Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is London Highlights Private Car with Driver Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book London Highlights Private Car with Driver Guide?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does London Highlights Private Car with Driver Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
