    Lots of fun

    I recommend doing this for a great way to tour the city. Something for everyone to do with costume rentals too. We really enjoyed this experience & its fun to see people react when passing by.

    Awesome Experience

    It was an exciting experience for me, as an American, to drive in London. We drove past all the significant landmarks of the city.

    Awesome Experience!

    This was such a fun, unique and eye catching experience. My twelve year old daughter and I did the full experience of dressing in costume and exploring London in these Mario Karts. I was nervous that they may not have one big enough for my size but they had a variety of sizes and the material stretches (for reference I'm an 18/20).I felt like a celebrity driving around town and people staring or waving. Raj was our tour guide and he gave me a quick lesson on the vehicle and we were off! I was nervous at first about driving in London out of the US but Raj was a great guide and walked me through everything using the walkie talkies between the cars. I felt like a natural after awhile. The tour was nice and the information shared. I really enjoyed being able to pull up next to him and talk while waiting for the lights or traffic, and using the walkie talkie to ask questions. We had a fun time doing this experience. My twelve year old felt comfortable enough in the back seat. Iloved that there is a place to have your phone to record while driving however every big bump my phone would fall out. I wish the holder secured by phone better. It didn't help that my phone was tall and in or out the case it was touching the glass. I have an a Samsung S20+. The drive was an hour but any longer than that and my poor legs may not have lasted. The car is small so just imagine! I definitely recommend this experience. The booking was easy. The pick up location was in an area that also allowed me to stop at Aldi (winning). The experience was a 10/10.

    Very disappointing experience

    I booked a tour and also purchased the insurance offered at the time of booking. When I later requested a refund, I was repeatedly assured in writing that the refund had been processed and paid. However, I never received the money. I have now been waiting for my refund for over six months. During this time, I have repeatedly tried to contact the company to resolve the issue. Initially, they responded and repeatedly confirmed in writing that the refund had been paid. Despite these assurances, I am still waiting for my money. They have now stopped responding to my messages altogether. Having to chase a refund for more than six months, despite repeatedly receiving written confirmation that it had supposedly been paid, is extremely disappointing and unprofessional. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend avoiding Karts of London.

    Great Experience, well worth it.

    Windsor Karting Adventure was brilliant. Really enjoyed the experience and the staff were great. We were met as planned and went on a full tour of Windsor and the surrounding area. The Twizzy was great as was the guide. It was a great experience and we learnt so much about the history of the local area coupled with some great views along the way. Highly recommended.

    The Ultimate Driving Tour, Karting around the Sights of London: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does The Ultimate Driving Tour, Karting around the Sights of London cost?

    +

    Prices start at $190 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 The Ultimate Driving Tour, Karting around the Sights of London take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 The Ultimate Driving Tour, Karting around the Sights of London worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 60 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 The Ultimate Driving Tour, Karting around the Sights 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 The Ultimate Driving Tour, Karting around the Sights of London suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Ultimate Driving Tour, Karting around the Sights of London?

    +

    Around 21 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Ultimate Driving Tour, Karting around the Sights 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 The Ultimate Driving Tour, Karting around the Sights of London?

    Included: Fuel/charging & insurance; The Electric Kart ( 2 seater) and Walkie Talkie system; Music system; and Safety briefing & route guidance.
