A London company has created what it sees as some of the most quirky and personal tours of London money can buy with just you, your guide and the classic Mini Cooper, a la Italian Job.
You can of course take the guided tour in a oversized Merc or even Rolls Royce, but the mini really gets down with the city and is so much a part of British culture to make this something special.
Themed from the 1960s, presumably to connect with the time when the Mini was most popular, the tours try to take you around the parts of London most “posher” tours would miss – helped considerably by the Mini’s ability to go down narrow London streets.
Tours run from 30 minutes to around 3 hours, unless you take the Tale of Two Cities which covers London and Paris, but as we’ve not currently worked out how to re-invade France that’s a little outside the remit of this blog.
They do an Italian Job tour amongst others, although blowing doors off, hanging off cliffs and racing Ferrari’s are probably mostly off the agenda…mostly due to the lack of cliffs in London.
For more information on the London tours, see the Small Car Big City web site.
