Your day will begin with a pick-up from your own central London hotel or another central London location (you can choose the location when you book), and your guide will then be devoted to just you and your group of up to 4 people for between 7 and 9 hours, depending on how long your itinerary takes.

The idea is that you tailor-make the itinerary beforehand to focus on your own interests and preferences. Your guide will then drive you from place to place and provide some informative commentary about the history and architecture of the buildings as you go.

Alternatively, if you'd rather just let the guide take the reigns then you can give them some general advice like "I'd like to see landmarks" or "I'd like to see the Royal palaces", and let them create the itinerary themselves. They'll then use their extensive knowledge of the city to make sure you get the most out of your day.

To give you an idea of what's possible, a typical itinerary might include Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, Horse Guards, Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column, Covent Garden, St. Paul's Cathedral, The Monument, Tower of London and Tower Bridge.

The great thing about this tour is that there'll be no other guests to pick up, no strict schedules to adhere to, and you can stop and start as many times as you like to stretch your legs, take some photos, and have a bite to eat and drink... it's like having your own personal tour guide and driver rolled into one!
