How a Guided Chauffeur Tour Can Save You Money and Time in London

So, you are planning a trip to London and want to see all the major sights and have a great time? While you could go on your own little adventure and make your own way around, this may not be the way to get the best out of your experience. London is a chaotic, busy and sprawling city with lots of different roads, small streets and lanes. If you are not careful and unfamiliar with the London City transportation offering, particularly if it’s your first time visiting, you may not even know where to begin.

Trying to do and see it all can be time-consuming and expensive if you have no level of experience of London town.

For that reason and many others, a guided chauffeur tour could be the best way to enjoy a trip around the British capital. In the following post, we are going to look a little closer at why.

Local Knowledge of London

One of the biggest advantages of hiring a chauffeur for a guided tour of London is the local knowledge they have at their disposal. When you are visiting a city like London as a tourist, you can easily get lost and waste a lot of time and money just trying to get to a specific destination. A chauffeur like those available from Prestige Cars and Couriers, on the other hand, knows their way around the city.

They know the quickest and, alternatively, the most scenic routes to get where you are going. So, while it may seem like greater investment in a private chauffeur, it will save money and time in the long run.

Comfort and Convenience

Further to the time-saving and money-saving benefits of hiring a private chauffeur to take you on a tour of London, you also get the benefit of comfort and convenience. The alternative to a private car tour is either taking public transport or one of the guided tours on a mini-bus or double-decker with an open top. Although these are iconic methods of transport, especially in London, they are not known for their comfort.

With a service like that offered by our team here at Prestige Cars and Couriers, however, you get real convenience and comfort from the moment our driver picks you up. Which can be arranged for anywhere you prefer. Whether you want to be picked up at the airport, train station or the accommodation you are staying at.

Rather than sharing the ride with 20 to 30 other people you don’t know, who might be loud and garish, you get the comfort of having a more personalised experience. You can sit back and relax in the real luxury offered by one of our modern vehicles. They are regularly and thoroughly cleaned and maintained so that every customer we collect, and drive gets the same level of high-quality service.

More Versatile and Flexible

Sticking with the example of a guided bus tour as a comparison to our service, you are restricted to going to the places that their tours are assigned to go on their route. That means if you want to visit anywhere not on their schedule, you will have to do it by yourself. With our private chauffeur guided tour, however, you can choose exactly the destinations you want to go to.

So, if you want to tour the various great city parks found around London, or prefer to visit the museums and art galleries, you can arrange it with the driver. Perhaps you want to visit noteworthy food and drink hotspots. Your driver will be able to organise an itinerary for your tour that works with your requirements.

Friendly and Personalised Service

As good as the larger guided tours are that operate around the city, because of the sheer number of people that go on them, it can be hard to give each member of the party their undivided attention. With a guided chauffeur tour, however, because you are in a much smaller group, you will get fully focused one-on-one attention from your guide who will happily answer any questions and point out the key sights, sounds and other important parts of your tour with a lot of excellent background information.
