What you'll do

See where the most successful British band of all time lived, worked and made history. Be chauffeur driven around the key areas of London that defined the Fab Four and shaped British popular culture in a restored classic Mini Cooper with your very own local guide.

Their musical legacy needs no introduction. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, David Bowie, Queen, Oasis. Their songs manage to transcend class, gender and creed to inspire generations.

Even today, they still seem current – timeless, the lyrics are just as prolific as they were when they were written. People flock from all over the world on a musical pilgrimage to see where they made history.

You will be placed right in the cover shot at the famous Abbey Road Studios crossing, die-hard Beatles fans always take their shoes off! What better way to see these iconic sights than from the very same perspective as The Fab Four. Paul, John, Ringo and George all drove Minis! You can now travel just as they did.

Obviously you will be rocking out to the best of their titles along the way. You’ll also see where these famous rock legends lived, shopped, relaxed and played gigs. An absolute MUST for any music fanatic!

Robert Welch

Robert Welch was given a beautiful 1974 Mini Cooper for his 17th Birthday (Jules is still in the fleet) and began a relationship that was to take him from student to entrepreneur.

Robert dreamt of running a company that steered away from conventional methods of touring the capital, to found a company that only used a fleet of classic Minis, quintessentially English guides, music from the greatest decade of all time on the stereo and personal recommendations based on the clients individual requirements. He wanted visitors to London to feel like locals, not tourists.

What our travellers are saying...

My family and I took a 4 hour personal tour with Sam, Tom, and Jaime (tour guides/ stunt drivers). We requested 3 classic Minis, as there was a total of 8 occupants. We are a family of Mini/MINI owners, our pride in joy being a 1962 MK1 we named Victoria as a tribute to this tour/trip. We had high expectations. Normally, high expectations lead to lack luster results and a poor experience. Our expectations were exceeded in every way! They w

Emma

Authentic music, fabulous factoids, classic car, personable and passionate personnel - more fun than you can dream possible in a small car in a big city. I felt like we were extras in the Italian job as we sped around London, negotiating double deckers, discovering secret courtyards, hurtling around underground tunnels and zipping through skinny backstreets in a nippy British icon. I didn't want it to end. It was phenomenal!

Jessie

Looking for something original to do in London to entertain a visiting friend. Not sure how I came across this tour, but very glad I did. Even as a native Londoner I learned loads of interesting facts, and the car is awesome! Beetles tunes playing, growling engine of original mini, rain on the windscreen and the knowledge of our guide made for a truly original day out!
