Visit Florida is touring the vehicle around London throughout the month of January, to brighten up Londoners’ days during what many believe to be the darkest month of the year.
Each activation day will be hosted by a different Visit Florida partner, with secret activities planned to surprise Londoners. A Kennedy Space Centre astronaut popped up by the Hertz brand tuc-tuc at Waterloo, and inivited commuters to pose for selfies. The vehicle is to be updated and used differently by each partner.
