Blacklane, the popular premium chauffeur company, is rolling out pilot luxury tours in London and Paris this summer.

Skip the tour buses and enjoy a comfortable ride with your own private driver on a 4-hour tour of the city. With options for electric cars, luxury vehicles, or vans for larger groups, this could be a great option for those looking to get to know a new city.

Let’s take a look at the details.

Blacklane Chauffeured City Tours

Blacklane announced that it will begin a pilot program to expand its global chauffeur service into the tour guide industry, with London and Paris being the first 2 cities to offer the luxury experience.

Previously, Blacklane only offered point-to-point service and charged by the hour. This new program will allow travelers to book a fixed-price tour with a private driver that will be tailored to you and your party.

Throughout the 4-hour tours, passengers will have the opportunity to stop for photos at famous landmarks, request extra stops, and even add on airport transfers to make the most of their time in the city.

Many of our guests around the world ask their Blacklane chauffeur partner to help them see the best of a city, however we did not have a dedicated service option that matched this demand. We’re rolling out test routes in London and Paris that give a great taste of a destination, for those visiting on business or leisure. Our chauffeur partners have a passion for their home cities that is infectious. In fact, we’re so thrilled with the demand and exceptional guest feedback during this early testing phase that we’re already exploring more new sightseeing by-the-hour services in further cities.

On the London tour, passengers can enjoy a peaceful tour and visit 3 major landmarks: Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, and the London Eye.

With a first-class chauffeur and high-spec vehicles available 24 hours a day, this is a great option for travelers with busy schedules who don’t want to deal with large tour operators.

Blacklane chauffeurs are available in a variety of high-end cars and categories, including:

  • Business class: Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, or similar
  • Electric class: Mercedes EQE or similar
  • Business van: Mercedes V-Class or similar
  • First class: Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series, or similar

Final Thoughts

Blacklane is expanding its popular chauffeur service to include private tours of popular destinations starting at €300 or £300 per vehicle. London and Paris will host the pilot program initially, but Blacklane says it is already considering expanding to other cities.

If you are looking for a crowd-free experience when touring a new city, this could be a great option — especially if you have the Citi Strata Elite card in your wallet.
