Highly reccomended! 5 out of 5! - 21st Feb - sarahba

"Had a fantastic one hour tour in the gorgeously restored minis - the drivers were really knowledgeable, you'll learn some interesting and unusual facts, plus the cars can get into tiny cobbled streets that those big boring tour buses can't! Attracted lots of attention from other tourists as they just look so cool whizzing round the city. Would definately recommend it."

The perfect treat! 5 out of 5! - 16th Feb 2010 - margyo

"A very dear friend of mine booked this unusual tour of London for my birthday and I really enjoyed every minute of it!I The car was really cool and the driver/guide was very charming, interesting and fun. I told all my friends and I would reccomend to anyone who want to see London from a new....perspective (for newcomers as well as for old residents). A memorable experience and the perfect treat if you want to make someone feel very special! Enjoy it, Francesca."

Great commentary accompanying a great way to get around! 4 out of 5! - 13th Feb 2010 - andrewpascoe

"I was expecting big things from the Minis themselves, and they delivered. What I was really pleastantly suprised at was the quirky and interesting knowledge our driver/guide Oliver had about the London sights we visited. Having lived here for a couple of years I was expecting a lot of the same information over again, but he talked for almost the whole time (a good thing!) about interesting news or facts that none of us had heard.

I'm going to get my parents to go on a Small Car Big City tour when they come over to visit in the summer, and would definitely recommend to people - and not just to tourists visiting the city."

The perfect gift! 5 out of 5! - 10 Feb 2010 - Stine_5

"smallcarBIGCITY gave us the opportunity to see london in a different way. Having lived just outside london for many years I thought I knew the city very well but Rob had loads of great facts and stories I had never heard before. A personal guide in a british car was the perfect gift for my parents for christmas. I would recommend the tour for everyone, both londoners and tourists. Its a great way to explore one of the most popular cities in the world! Thanks for a great tour!"

smallcarBIGCITY does the Italian Job! 5 out of 5! - 9th Feb 2010 - Dancingswift

"Eight ladies travelled from Shropshire to do 'The Italian Job' tour with smallcarbigcity as part of our weekend away. We were picked up promptly from our hotel where we donned blue jumpsuits and flat caps before the three mini coopers ventured out in convoy to explore the sights. Whilst we didn't drive down steps, over rooftops or drive through a shopping plaza, we did weave in and out of traffic to sneak down small side streets, listening to 60's music as we drove. We stopped for a photos outside St Paul's and became a tourist attraction ourselves! Rob and his team are very enthusiastic about their new venture; they are also very informative and willing to answer any questions about the city. We were dropped off at the London Eye in time to catch a river cruise that we had booked.
I would highly recommend this way of exploring the city; it's very informal and you can tailor make it to your requirements but above all its great fun."

The most impressive way to see London! 5 out of 5! 8th Feb 2010 - emmaday

"Though this is far from my first visit to London, this has been by far the most impressive way I have seen the city. Our guide Rob was thoroughly entertaining and informative. The Minis were a fabulous way to get around the city, everyone stopped to take pictures of us when we were stopped at lights! We got to see all the famous landmarks, as well as some secret hidden treasures we'd never heard of. Rob knows his stuff! Definitely the best, and the most unique, way to see and learn about London."

Unique fun filled tour, a total blast! 5 out of 5! - 7th Feb 2010 - PJMLincon

"From the moment Robert (our guide and the company MD, no less) collected us from the hotel until the end of the tour being dropped off at The London Eye, we were both impressed with the professional and informative nature of the tour. Robert was only too happy to adapt the tour to our wishes. This included the hotel collection and drop off at our choice of destination. Putting the Mini into gaps in the traffic that the other traffic had no hope of getting into, our tour included some of the more obscure and unique places in the City. Overall a cracking day out, well worth it and a "do it again, next time" event!"

Brilliant idea! 5 out of 5! - 3rd Feb 2010 - tradema0811

"What a great way to see the city. The tour guides are really easy going and funny and make it a really unique experience. Would recommend to anyone. There's just something really satisfying about cruising around Mayfair in a classic Cooper."

Unbelievably awesome and unique! 5 out of 5! - 31st Jan 2010 - NewYorkersInLondon

"The tour was fantastic! It was everything stated on the website and more. We traveled from New York to London and this was the most unique highlight of our site seeing adventures . Our tour guide Robert was extremely knowledgable with a wonderful sense of humor. His personal knowledge of the area just added to the experience. We would recommend it highly! The mini was ultra - cool and the experience was great. We traveled down alleys and made turns that a tour bus could never venture! You can not beat the price for such a personal tour. We are eager to return and try some of the other cool mini tours that are offered at smallcarBIGCITY.com! We would highly recommend planning a tour!"

A fantastic way to see the best city in the world! 5 out of 5! - 17th Jan 2010 - LondonLover8699

"I live just outside London and have always adored the city. smallcarBIGCITY meant I got a whole new perspective on my favourite place, seeing it from angles I'd never seen and zipping around in an iconic British car. Highly professional, very friendly, knowledgable, great value etc. I had a brilliat time!!"

This is the way to do it! 5 out of 5! - 8th Jan 2010 - TravelBuugg

"I planned this tour as a surprise for my fiance who is a fan of mini coopers. Whether you are a fan of the car or not, this tour is a fantastic and exciting way to see the city. We took the Best of British Board Game Tour. Robert, our tour guide and driver, kept our 2-hour tour moving with stories, a bit o' history, and lots of laughs. We especially appreciated that he provided some cute hats for us to wear to get into the spirit of things. We cruised up and down the streets enjoying some of the familiar spots we've come to love on previous visits to London, as well as a number of new places. It's a tour worth taking. This travel bug gives it two thumbs up! :)"

It will put a big smile on your face! 4 out of 5! - 16th Dec 2009 - sparrowlegs63

"We stayed over in London after watching a show. I have always wanted to visit scenes from favourite films over the years but never had the time to spend in London. I happened to be re-watching The Long Good Friday the week before our trip, and contacted smallcarBIGCITY. They put together a tour from our hotel that ended up back in time for lunch at Covent Garden. My wife loved it, and I managed to get from breakfast to lunch without having to enter a single shop!"

Best way to see the "smaller" beauty of London! 5 out of 5! - 13th Dec 2009 - Rotam

"Amazing, best way out of all the tours to see London. Could not have done more of a British tour if we tried. Sitting in a classic mini listening to the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and driving in the best car in the world! Would recomend this over any tour of London. Tour guide, dressed in retro suit, was knowledgable and new the more interesting unknown facts of London. Felt like I was transported back in time!! Awesome! Just do it!"

Absolutley fantastic!!!! 5 out of 5! - 26th Oct 2009 - Hathaway04

"Me and my girlfriend recently got engaged and we wanted to celebrate and do something special, we found out about smallcarbigcity and thought it would be a fantastic day out for us.

We decided that we would go on the 'Best of British Board Game Tour' and I have to say that I am simply chuffed at the fact we did, not only did we see lots of bits of London that we had not been to before, but we also learned loads about lots of areas, not to mention it gave us the chance to go through one of the worlds most loved board games.

Our driver for the day was Oli, who was very professional and friendly and added to the day massivley, I will recommend this company to absolutley everyone looking to do something a little different in London, we have only been on the one tour so I can't say how good the others will be but based on the day we had I would expect them all to be up to the same high standards! I will certainly be looking to go on other tours at later dates!"
