What to expect
Your driver collects you from Heathrow and drives you through central London's most photographed corners. Expect to spend roughly four hours viewing landmarks—some you'll pass while driving, others warrant a brief stop for photos and a stretch. The guide shares background on each location without requiring you to enter buildings or queue for tickets. You'll see the Thames, cross iconic bridges and walk short distances around Westminster and the City. The remaining time covers your transfers to and from the airport.
