Inside is a hidden treasure of London which was used by the great man himself. We will visit the home where Churchill lived as a young boy as well Downing Street where he lived as Prime Minister and see the church where he and Clementine were married in 1908. The tour ends outside the Churchill War Rooms which are perfectly preserved from the Second World War and from which Churchill ran the war whilst the streets through which we walked were regularly bombed by the Luftwaffe.

Michael Caine’s 1969 film, The Italian Job, has become a cult classic and encapsulates London’s eccentricity perfectly. In the film Charlie Croker and his fellow gang of reprobates steal $4 million from the Italian Mafia using three classic Mini Coopers. To carry out the job they don bright blue jump suits and tweed flat caps, stash the gold in the boot and make their get-away via the side streets of Turin. You can re-enact this iconic scene with the optional fancy dress overalls and caps in the boot of your very own restored classic Mini Cooper. Your get-away driver is a passionate local guide that will show you the places you won’t find in the guide books. Thereally good stuff in London is often hidden away down tiny back streets and alleyways that only a Mini can get to.
This tour was an amazing experience and a great way to see A LOT of Europe in a short amount of time. The trip was fast paced but very well planned out with the itinerary and mix of activities that you see and do. Jemma, our tour guide was absolutely amazing! We couldn't have asked for better! She was charismatic, funny, knowledgeable, organized, and guided us in a positive way where we got the very most out of the travel experience learning the local history, foods, culture and best site seeing spots. She went above and beyond to make sure we were getting the most out of our tour experience. Gabriel, our driver was also phenomenal. We always felt very safe and he was always perfectly punctual and helped us load/ unload and kept us very comfortable on the coach.
It was a wonderful way to get a taste of four European cities: Amsterdam, Heidelberg, Lucern and Paris. our guide and our driver did a great job whisking us through the cities safely and enjoyably in about a week. We saw alot. I plan to visit each place again!
