This was such an amazing experience and fun way to tour all the major sites and landmarks. We had an awesome tour guide. My family and I would 10/10 definitely recommend Karts of London!!!

I recommend doing this for a great way to tour the city. Something for everyone to do with costume rentals too. We really enjoyed this experience & its fun to see people react when passing by.
It was an exciting experience for me, as an American, to drive in London. We drove past all the significant landmarks of the city.
This was such a fun, unique and eye catching experience. My twelve year old daughter and I did the full experience of dressing in costume and exploring London in these Mario Karts. I was nervous that they may not have one big enough for my size but they had a variety of sizes and the material stretches (for reference I'm an 18/20).I felt like a celebrity driving around town and people staring or waving. Raj was our tour guide and he gave me a quick lesson on the vehicle and we were off! I was nervous at first about driving in London out of the US but Raj was a great guide and walked me through everything using the walkie talkies between the cars. I felt like a natural after awhile. The tour was nice and the information shared. I really enjoyed being able to pull up next to him and talk while waiting for the lights or traffic, and using the walkie talkie to ask questions. We had a fun time doing this experience. My twelve year old felt comfortable enough in the back seat. Iloved that there is a place to have your phone to record while driving however every big bump my phone would fall out. I wish the holder secured by phone better. It didn't help that my phone was tall and in or out the case it was touching the glass. I have an a Samsung S20+. The drive was an hour but any longer than that and my poor legs may not have lasted. The car is small so just imagine! I definitely recommend this experience. The booking was easy. The pick up location was in an area that also allowed me to stop at Aldi (winning). The experience was a 10/10.
I booked a tour and also purchased the insurance offered at the time of booking. When I later requested a refund, I was repeatedly assured in writing that the refund had been processed and paid. However, I never received the money. I have now been waiting for my refund for over six months. During this time, I have repeatedly tried to contact the company to resolve the issue. Initially, they responded and repeatedly confirmed in writing that the refund had been paid. Despite these assurances, I am still waiting for my money. They have now stopped responding to my messages altogether. Having to chase a refund for more than six months, despite repeatedly receiving written confirmation that it had supposedly been paid, is extremely disappointing and unprofessional. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend avoiding Karts of London.
Windsor Karting Adventure was brilliant. Really enjoyed the experience and the staff were great. We were met as planned and went on a full tour of Windsor and the surrounding area. The Twizzy was great as was the guide. It was a great experience and we learnt so much about the history of the local area coupled with some great views along the way. Highly recommended.
A real fun day out! Had an initial wait at the start, so not able to honestly give 5 stars, but as you’d expect, traffic in london is a bit unpredictable. Sean kept in touch with updates so we didn’t feel unattended to. Great Guide (Raj) managed to get all the sites in. Lots of Stares from the public and good banter exchanges. Lots of good pictures and was able to vid the whole trip - Definitely recommend (and will come back with a larger group!)
We had such an amazing time with London Karts! It was such a fun and unique way to see London. My daughter and I loved driving through the city while passing so many historic landmarks and famous attractions. The tour was well organized, the staff was friendly, and the karts were easy to drive. It was an experience we'll definitely remember, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun way to explore London with family or friends.
Karts of London is a must do tour! We went as a group of friends and it was fun touring and learning about the city. Please book on your next visit to London.
Amazing experience, worth every penny. If you want a fun activity and a great tour guide like Sean, then get booking!
What a great fun time, the guide was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our time.
A fun time in London! Was worried about the driving on the opposite side of the road but the guide made it super easy! A fun little activity to see some sights on the go!
Was very accommodating and helpful with directions. This was my first time driving in London and it was a smooth ride, even though there was traffic. Saw all the beautiful sites I wanted and left very satisfied. Would totally recommend to anyone looking to see around!
I really enjoyed this experience, Great way to see London and all the main landmarks..I give this tour a 10/10🔥highly recommended and I definitely would do it again😊Favorite London experience.
Perfect for those who want to give their feet a break. If you only have a few days or even hours in London this is a great way to see all the tourist hotspots and attractions. This was one of the highlights of our trip and absolutely worth the cost. Sean was very knowledgeable about all the monuments and streets we drove through, he answered every question about the area with great confidence and patience . We were both quite nervous beforehand, but Sean immediately put us at ease and regularly checked in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying the tour throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and will be coming back with friends soon. A FANTASTIC tour from start to finish ⭐️
This tour was AMAZING!! Sean was very nice and showed me around the city! I would most certainly recommend this tour!!
Had a tour scheduled for today. Got a confirmation email yesterday reminding us where and when to meet. Arrived as scheduled today and found no one there. Reached out using various methods. Finally got a phone call telling us the tour was cancelled. Sean said he sent an email, but nothing in our inbox. Turns out it was from a different address than all the other emails. Sean said it was our fault since we didn't check our spam folder. Tried to reschedule but we've planned this for months and the rest of our time is completely scheduled. Finally agreed to refund. Gaslighting at its best.
Excellent tour!! Súper fun! Great kart of a Renault twizi.
Booked this as a birthday present and it absolutely delivered. We’re fairly local, so for us it was less of a formal sightseeing tour and more a chance to drive the kart, see London from another angle, dress up in the costumes and generally enjoy the experience. We had good weather and chose to dress up as Mario and Luigi. We waved to a school trip, got cheered on by a team of builders in a pub garden and were photographed by tourists. It was a real feel good interactive experience. If you’re tall (6ft plus), it feels slightly squashed but is still do-able, so don’t be put off. We saw the London Eye, passed Big Ben as it chimed and navigated Piccadilly Circus. Raj was our friendly guide and did a good job of keeping everyone together, even when buses and taxis tried to cut in. I paid extra for the camera recording and it felt worthwhile as we could look back on people waving and laughing as we passed. The booking email instructions on how to find the location were helpful. It’s a short walk from Paddington Station which suited us perfectly. I had some questions at the time of booking and email replies were swift, as were the WhatsApp replies.
Sean was a fantastic guide in our excursion trek around London! Fun and informative! Great way to get the feel of the landscape in the city! My daughter and I had an epic time! When you book, reminder to bring either a heavy jacket (in Winter) the Karts have no side windows! Other than that… we had a blast! Put this on your bucket list!!! And again, Thank You Sean!! You did not disappoint 🫶! Mona S.
A great experience and would highly recommend! This guarantees a lot of fun whilst seeing the sights of London.........
I went with raj and had the best time I’ve done every type of tour you can do in London and this one was by far the best one highly recommend
What a fun experience! Even though it was raining, it certainly didn’t dampen our spirits or the experience. Our tour guide was amazing and pointed out all the main sites on route. Driving the kart was so much fun. We had an absolute blast and can’t recommend this enough!
I can’t recommend Carts of London Tour enough — it was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience from start to finish. Every moment was perfectly organized, fun, and full of energy. The guide was incredible: knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire journey feel personal and special. The route was beautiful, the commentary was engaging, and the overall atmosphere was just exceptional. I’ve done many tours before, but this one stood out by far. It exceeded all expectations — professional, smooth, enjoyable, and full of memorable moments. If you’re in London, this is absolutely a must-do experience. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could! Highly recommended! 🌟
The tour was amazing! Raj was a great tour guide! We learned so much about London. I highly recommend anyone interested in history to take this tour
We had an absolutely amazing time on the Ultimate E-Kart Driving Tour around Windsor. The karts were so much easier to drive than expected — within minutes we were zipping through the streets, grinning from ear to ear! Our tour guide was fantastic, full of energy and enthusiasm, really setting the vibe for the whole day. Driving around dressed as Mario and Luigi definitely turned heads — seeing everyone smile, wave, and take photos as we passed made it even better. It’s such a brilliant mix of sightseeing and silliness — the perfect way to explore Windsor in a totally unforgettable way. Would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for something a bit different, super fun, and full of laughs!
A wonderful, organized and safe experience. I will definitely repeat it in the future. I advise all clients to try it. Thank you and thank you for the smile and good manners.
Absolutely brilliant! So much fun and the best way to see London. The karts are super easy to drive and small enough to fit through a lot of gaps. Dressing up made it even more fun and people on the street were loving it. This would be perfect for a stag do or group of friends. Sean and Raj were fantastic, gave very clear instructions and took tons of photos and videos of us. Can't recommend this enough!
Highly recommend this tour for the unique experience of seeing London via small electric karts. We were guided by Raj in the lead car so don’t worry about getting lost. It’s fun and feels faster than it is. The karts are nimble and fun, even pedestrians can’t help to smile. We opted for the extra 360 video which is worth it and a great watch of your drive again, when you are back home. One of the most things you can do when visit London.
Didn't know what to expect at first but the host quickly explained everything. He did a great job navigating us around central London whilst explaining some of the main sights; I've been around that area dozens of times but learnt a bunch of new things on this trip. The cars are fun and easy to drive, and definitely go for the fancy dress option as it is a blast seeing everyone around you interact and cheer and take pictures. One of the best daytime things I've ever done in London and very reasonably priced.
As an American, I never drive in the UK because they drive on the wrong side! 😅 However, I always wanted to try, and thanks to you, I finally did it! 🎉 It was safe and fun, and the guide shared a lot of interesting information about the areas we visited.
My daughter and I were in London for the week and we decided to do This while in London. We had the best time and just had a lot of fun Riding around in these little Karts. I would definitely recommend Doing this if you get the chance. Go out and just have some fun Sightseeing in a unique way 👏
Very poor experience - had to cancel my booked trip due to the change of plans (well before their advertised 48 hr cancellation deadline!), but never got the refund despite writing to the company a number of times. Now trying to get my money back via my credit card company... Not the hassle I need :( Beware.
Driving the karts was a blast! After some consideration, we did end up with the costumes. Rolling on the floor laughing before we even left! As the last car in the lineup and with my passenger and I as Mario and Luigi, it was hysterical to hear the build-up. People would look as we came by. Princess Peach didn't get loads of attention. As Toad and Yoshi came up the kids and adults started to smile, laugh, and enjoy it more. Then, in came Mario and Luigi. The hoots and hollers were so fun. Driving the karts was not hard. You followed behind the guide who was in the front kart. He was great about being aware of where we were in the last car and pausing to make sure we caught up if a red light had split us up. As the driver, I didn't get to look around at the sights as much as I was more concerned with driving. If it is important to you to see things, consider being the passenger.
Disappointed to arrive I find out I was too young to drive, when their website says “anyone with a full uk driving license” can drive - which I had.
Ultimate Driving tour is the best way to tour around London. Shawn was an amazing tour guide he was fun and full of information. We traveled with 3 children ages 7,10 and 15. We rented customs for 10pound each. The cars only fit 2 people. We had to pay 30pound extra for my son and my son went in shawn car. Which he didn't mind at all. We in the impression that the car fits 3 people. They all loved it. Thank you so much shaws for a great tour.
A good experience to tour sites while driving around on London's busy streets. Roger is a cool tour guide, whenever we stopped at the traffic light people were waving, taking pictures & conversating with him. I wish there were additional guest on the day I went, it would have been more fun. Unfortunately, I did not get the opportunity to drive to Buckingham Palace due to street closure. Despite London's busy streets, the karts/smart cars are safe. I recommend this tour for the experience to drive on the streets of London and sightseeing.
So much fun!!! What a neat way to zip around London and get up close to all of the best sites! Highly recommend this unique sightseeing experience!
A lot of fun and super easy! We had the best time! These carts are small so my husband and my son were crammed in but at 6’2 they had fun too.
We had a great time doing this!! We could see all of the main attractions and we laughed the entire time! I wish we had dressed up for the full experience.
Fantastic!! Booked this for an18th birthday treat and he loved it although he couldn’t drive he enjoyed being a passenger but his dad loved it with all the tourists wanting to take photos , felt like celebrities 😀 Had a great time and What a great way to see the sights of London . Everyone was very intrigued with these little carts . Thanks carts of London really enjoyed it
The best way to see London! We drove down many of the London landmark sites: Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, London Eye, Piccadilly Circus and nice neighborhoods. The drive was pretty easy and relaxing - we just followed our tour guide, Raj, who was awesome by the way. My 11 year old son was dressed as Mario so it was a blast.
This was a fun and exciting way to see London. The vehicles were well maintained and had good pick up/go. The guide was courteous and managed to put an initially frightened driver at ease. One of the most fun parts is the reaction by people on the treat, especially children (which is even better if you are in costume as we were). Well worth the time and effort.
If you're looking for windswept and interesting Karts of London is for you! Seeing London from a totally different perspective as you self drive your kart behind your excellent guide is an exhilarating way to spend the afternoon. We will absolutely be doing this again and recommend you do too!
My Mum and I had a really fun time driving around London in our little kart! This is such a fun way to do a whistle stop tour of the main sights of London. The kart is easy to drive, it’s automatic so you can’t go wrong! There is room in the back for another adult and you can swap over halfway at the London Eye. Our guide Raj was so lovely and we really did have such a good time. Children would absolutely love this too - particularly with the option to dress up!
The time flys by when zipping around London’s most famous sites. Even though it was a chilly January day, we had great fun. The Karts are very sturdy and safe. Good acceleration and braking. Our guide kept us moving and was careful not to lose us. We’ve done Segway tours, bicycle tours, walking tours. But Karts of London is a new and different kind of fun. Thank you!
I booked this as a surprise for my friend. When we arrived, he saw the karts and when I told him we are doing a driving tour of London he was blown away. We also hired a costume, which I totally recommend as it adds to the fun and experience. I was wonder woman and he was robin. Our tour guide Sean was great. He led the tour and pointed out via a walkie talkie all the famous sights of London. My friend was in the driving seat and I was photograper, capturing all the sights. Overall we had an amazing day. The karts are fantastic and they drew so much attention, it was like being a celebrity for the day haha. This is something everyone should try at least once, I will definitely be booking this again.
This is brilliant. We were a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids) so I emailed them asking if they could cater for us. They replied quickly saying one of the kids could join the tour guides kart. Booked directly at an Amazing price. Adults had a great time and kids thought they were famous as everyone was waving at them and saying how cool the karts were. Karts are really simple to drive - accelerate/brake! That’s it! Each kart has a walkie talkie so you can all chat throughout the tour. Our little one needed a booster seat - this was free of charge! Raj our tour guide was friendly and good fun! We will definitely do again - hoping they add alternative tours so we can do another one!
What a blast we had zipping around London in a road legal Go Kart. The sites we saw were great as was the information provided during the tour via the walkie talkie. Would most definitely recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Such an amazing way to see the sights in London. I booked through Groupon and emailed them to arrange a date. As we were going home the same day they arranged a tour to suit our times we were available. They replied straight away to me, very responsive. My husband had always wanted to drive on of these cars and was definitely not disappointed. The guide was amazing, we all had a radio to keep in touch in case we got separated and he provided a commentary of the sights as we drove along. The route we took was amazing, I never thought I’d have the courage to drive around London, how wrong I was!! The cars were so easy to drive. I felt like a real celebrity as people were all looking at us and taking photos! It was worth every penny and such an unusual way to see all the sights, I’d definitely recommend Karts of London - you won’t be disappointed
