Not tourism — hosting
Private clients use chauffeur days to host parents, children home from university, or international guests who should not navigate the Tube with luggage. The route is as-directed and can change when a lunch runs long.
There is no branded tour commentary unless you want it. Professional drivers stay quiet, on time, and off social media.
Typical private itineraries
West End lunch, a short walk through St James’s or a private gallery appointment, then back to Kensington — paced for elders or young children.
Corporate spouses programme: discrete shopping or spa time while principals are in City meetings, with a fixed pickup back at the hotel lobby.
Vehicle and security posture
V-Class for multi-generational families; long-wheelbase saloon for two guests who expect privacy glass and smooth kerb presentation.
Your chauffeur should know lawful stopping points near protected addresses — not every “quick photo” stop is safe or legal outside a public monument.
How EAs and family offices book
Hourly or half-day blocks with a named driver where possible. Timed tickets and restaurant reservations stay with your staff; ground transport only needs arrival windows and a mobile that works on the day.
