If you want to explore UK landmarks or sights, but you prefer to do so in company of your choosing, then a private sightseeing tour in a luxury chauffeur driven car or people carrier is a real option and it doesn’t have to break the bank. More and more people are now using the services of companies providing chauffeur driven cars to arrange their very own private tours, where they can dictate the pace and the landmarks that are of interest to them. Of course there is a veritable feast of options, be it a simple half-day tour of London, a day trips to visit Stonehenge, Bath and Salisbury or longer journeys to the Lake District or Edinburgh.

Some people may wish to put together and plan their own itinerary and others may prefer to leave it in the hands of a professional tour guide, the bottom line is choice and freedom to do as you wish. Tour guides can also be provided to accompany visitors on their journeys, providing where required a running commentary, or just there to answer a few pertinent questions. You decide when to stop, for how long and whether to just view or visit an attraction. the flexibility offered by arranging your very own private sightseeing tour is not to be underestimated.

The type of chauffeur driven car or people carrier will also be an important factor, dependent on the length of the journey, the number of people and your preference in terms of room and comfort. Fortunately there is a wide range to choose from. If budget is an important factor, you do not need to compromise of your standards because even the entry level vehicle Chrysler 300 is a leader in its class. If you prefer a larger executive vehicle then you can elect to utilise a vehicle such as the Jaguar XJ (LWB) or Mercedes S Class (LWB), both of which have the extended wheel base providing ample extra leg room. For larger groups, people carriers may be an option, these can seat up to 8 passengers, provided one is seated in the front, this is not, however, the ideal option if you like your space! If you intend to utilise the services of a professional tour guide, then a good choice for up to 4 passengers, would be the top of the range Mercedes Viano people carrier. This will offer armchair comfort for up to 4 passengers and leave the front passenger seat available for the guide.
