Scenic Tours

The Basics

Your Chauffeur will arrive at your door to escort you to a sparkling London Limo for your tour in comfort, luxury and privacy. Perrier water and fresh floral stems will greet you as you enter the 55” tall and spacious cabin. The windows provide large vistas with stunning clarity, yet passers by cannot see through the privacy windows.

Temperature and window controls for your cabin are at your fingertips as are overhead lighted mirrors. The privacy window between you and the Chauffeur will be closed unless you request otherwise. You can readily communicate by intercom at the flick of a switch.

Background music is available, as you like, from a wide assortment of musical styles and artists.

Your Chauffeur will drive at a leisurely pace of about 30 miles per hour so you’ll be able to savor the scenery. We’ll stop at special scenic overlooks along the way.
