Price of our Customised Countryside Taxi Tour

- Includes private taxi and driver/tour guide

Entrance Fees
To keep our costs low, entrance fees are not included in our price.
Entrance fees are usually very reasonable. However, we highly recommend that you purchase either English Heritage membership or National Trust membership beforehand, as your entrance to their properties will then be free. Royal Oak (a U.S. based conservation group) members also can enter many of these properties free of charge.
Your membership will not only gain you free entrance to properties in the countryside, but will serve you well for your entire stay in London. Both English Heritage and National Trust have properties in London.
