Amazing Private Tour from Southampton to London with Christopher!
We had an absolutely fantastic day with Christopher! He picked us up right from Southampton and made the entire day incredibly easy and enjoyable. We started with Windsor Castle, where Christopher knew all the perfect spots to take us for the best views and photos, and then continued into London where he showed us all the highlights. Christopher was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and especially patient with our kids, which made such a difference for our family. He was also very flexible with what we wanted to see — he even made time for a stop at the Jellycat store, which was a huge hit with the kids! It was the perfect way to make the most of our day travelling from Southampton to London. We never felt rushed, saw so much more than we could have managed on our own, and Christopher took great care of us from start to finish. We would highly recommend Christopher, especially for families looking for a private, flexible tour. Thank you, Christopher, for making our day in England such a memorable one!

Private Day Tour in London
We selected a private tour of London for one of our 2 days we visited there. Our driver David contacted me the night before and confirmed pick up time. He notified me when he reached the hotel. David drove us to the 3 destinations we had selected for the day (Tower of London, St Paul’s Cathedral and the London Eye). He also made a lunch reservations in the Borough Market at a nice pub. During the drive he pointed out interesting land marks and talked about the history of the area. Drop off , pick up points and times were agreed upon. We communicated via WhatsApp to confirm time and place. David gave us tips about each location so we could make the best use of the time we had at each site. If you are looking for a comfortable, safe and enjoyable tour I would recommend London County Tours for your experience.
Response from the operator: Hi. I'm so glad you had a great time I really enjoy showing you my home town London. Its such a beautiful city. I do hope you enjoyed Harrods. I do hope we get a chance to meet you all again. Regards David

Fantastic tour, Kind Operator and a Great Time!
Eddie was our driver today and we had a lovely time. We did a custom tour and had a drive to the Tank Museum in Bovington and Chessington Adventure. It was a blast and a great value. He was very hospitable, kind and stopped when the family needed to stop for a rest. He even surprised us with a stop at the filming place of Ted lasso! I highly recommend!

Great private experience!
Was it unconventional yes, was it worth it yes. We loosely planned a completely ludicrous itinerary that included Stonehenge and the Cotswolds and somehow they made it happen. Eddie Prendergast then improvised further filling in the gaps and took us on a fantastic journey to sights that most wouldn't see like Winston Churchill's grave, Blenheim Palace, the Windsor Walk, lunch at the Porch House Stow-on-the-Wold, Cheltenham with sticky toffee pudding and sights of the Cotswolds with unique ideas that a normal tour just can't accomplish. Thank you London Country Tours(David) And most of all thank you Eddie for sharing your day with us.
Response from the operator: Eddie will be over the moon. He really enjoys touring and giving people extra sites. Fantastic guy. Has a great history. Please recommend us and Eddie to your family and friends.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Driver Guided Tour of London: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Private Driver Guided Tour of London cost?
+
Prices start at £795 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 Private Driver Guided Tour of London take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Private Driver Guided Tour of London worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 27 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 Private Driver Guided Tour of London?
+
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 Private Driver Guided Tour of London suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Driver Guided Tour of London?
+
Around 9 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Driver Guided Tour of London 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 The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. 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.
What is included in Private Driver Guided Tour of London?
+
Included: All taxis; Hotel collection and drop off; and Guided communication from driver. Not included: Admission costs; and Food and drink. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Driver Guided Tour of London include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 150 listed pickup locations in and around London. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Driver Guided Tour of London offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Driver Guided Tour of London?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private Driver Guided Tour of London wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Private Driver Guided Tour of London if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in London. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
