The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066, and is the final resting place of 17 monarchs. The church we see today was begun by Henry III in 1245. It’s one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, and has the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint at its heart.

Changing of the Guard Ceremony At Buckingham Palace, we will stop to watch a ceremony that is the epitome of the pomp and pageantry for which Britain is famous for around the world. Elite soldiers from the British military, also known as the Household Division, have been dutifully guarding the monarch since 1660. During the ceremony, immaculately turned out guards from the New Guard arrive to assume responsibility for protecting Buckingham Palace. Accompanied by a regimental marching band, the soldiers of the Household Division are instantly recognisable in their bearskin caps and scarlet tunics.
Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of the UK's sovereigns since 1837 and today is the administrative headquarters of the Monarch.
Trafalgar Square is a public square in the City of Westminster, Central London, built around the area formerly known as Charing Cross. Its name commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, a British naval victory in the Napoleonic Wars with France and Spain that took place on 21 October 1805 off the coast of Cape Trafalgar.
The first stop on our tour is an iconic symbol of London. Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece took 35 years to build and today is one of the largest churches in the world. Incredibly, this towering domed cathedral was also the tallest building in London until the 1960s. Its construction between 1675-1710 was part of a rebuilding programme after the original cathedral located here was swept away in the Great Fire of London in 1666: With no fewer than seven chapels, countless statues and priceless art, as well as Europe's largest crypt, there are historical and religious treasures around every corner at St Paul's. Explore the history of the cathedral with your expert Guide who will bring its fascinating events to life. *Please note that St Paul’s Cathedral is closed to the public on Sunday. You will have a photo stop at St. Paul’s Cathedral and you will be spend longer in the Tower of London. *Please note: Entry includes for tour with separate guide option only
Explore almost 1,000 years of history that began with the construction of a fortress and royal residence by William The Conqueror. The long history of 'The Tower' is one of imprisonment, murder and execution. The last person executed here was in 1941, and over the years spies, criminals and even queens have met their bloody end by the executioner's hand at the tower. The Tower of London is also home to the priceless Crown Jewels Collection. This glittering display of gems and gold includes the Star of Africa, the world's largest cut diamond, as well as a collection of crowns, robes, and other items of ceremonial regalia. It would be improper to fail to mention the tower ravens. Legend has it that at least half a dozen must stay within the bounds of the tower or the monarchy will fall. Please note: Entry includes for tour with separate guide option only
Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, built between 1886 and 1894. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. As a result, it is sometimes confused with London Bridge, about half a mile upstream.

What an absolutely fantastic experience touring Central London in a classic black cab, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we were picked up, our guide made us feel welcome and completely at ease. The black cab itself added such a unique and authentic London touch—comfortable, spacious, and perfect for sightseeing without the fatigue of walking everywhere. What really made the tour exceptional was our guide, Ruben’s knowledge and storytelling. They didn’t just point out landmarks—they brought the city to life with fascinating history, fun facts, and little-known details you’d never get from a guidebook. Every stop felt meaningful, and the pace was perfect for our family, allowing us to explore, take photos, and truly enjoy each location without feeling rushed. In just four hours, we managed to see so many iconic sights while also discovering hidden gems tucked away from the usual tourist paths. This tour was ideal for our family. It was very informative, fun, and incredibly well-organized from start to finish. We would highly recommend Ruben for this experience to anyone visiting London. If you want a comfortable, insightful, and memorable way to see the city, a black cab tour like this is absolutely worth it!

We truly appreciate your recommendation. Kind regards, Evan Evans
Everything was exceptional. Simon met us at the airport and we were pleased to find out that he was with us the entirety of our trip. He was accommodating, friendly, informative, and funny! We had a wonderful guide, James, who took us to see the changing of the King's Life Guard and all the sights in the area. He was also incredibly accommodating and informative. The next day, we had Andrew as our guide. I can't say enough but the thoughtfulness and patience he had with us. We learned so much and for our group of 5, multi-generation, it was a blast. I highly recommend this company for transportation, guidance, and a frictionless experience.

Oliver showed us around London for 2 days, and it was a very pleasant experience. Oliver is smart, and was kind enough to adjust his pace to our interests and walking pace. His knowledge of Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s and London in general is quite deep. The cars and drivers provided by Evans Evans were comfortable. Thanks to their rep Caroline for helping us with the schedule.
Hi 1977Foodie, Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We are so glad to hear you had a 5 star experience with us. We will let Oliver know that he managed to make your day special, i'm sure he will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We hope to welcome you onboard with us soon! Best wishes Evan Evans
