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...

Such a fun way to explore hidden London in a beautiful vintage Mini Cooper. The highlight of going in November was to see the dazzling display of Christmas lights across town.

I always drive my Mini by myself, it was my first time to sit back seat and someone drives for me. Mini requires a little bit knack to get out from the back seat, but fortunately I knew it. Left leg—->back—->head—->right leg. Vice versa when you get in. Enjoyed Tom’s driving technic with fabulous engine sound of Dorothy as well as his guide for scenic spots. I have tried this tour 4 years ago, too. Highly recommended!!

This was the best highlight from our Europe trip! Their communication was excellent even with a big time difference. As I am a Classic Mini owner myself in Australia and always dreamed of driving the same mini I own in London, they even me the selfdrive element for no extra charge which is fantastic. We were picked up on time from our accommodation and was greeted by a lovely young guy! He drove us around a bit to get use to London traffic and th

It is a very unique a querky way to explore London Landmarks as well as going through back alleys. Tom our driver was super fun, had good knowledge and full of energy. To sum up, go for it you won't regret

This was an amazing experience that was well worth the price. The privacy and individuality of the tour makes it truly unique! Tom is an epic driver with an awesome personality - picture Johnny Depp as a car enthusiast. 5 stars all the way!!! I wanted to surprise my boyfriend for his birthday & we were pleased. He’s a Mini Cooper fanatic so this was the perfect gift! He loved the tour & the entire experience. Tom is super knowledgeable & very l

We did this because it was different. We had lived and visited London in the past, and wanted to get a fresh perspective on the city on this visit having been away for some years. The combination of a passion for classic mini's, London, and looking at it all a little differently made this an intriguing tour choice. No mega BMW "mini" abomination here. The star was meant to be Lulu - a classic gleaming, head-turning, 1998 classic Mini. But top
