Best London tour with Rod, the most amazing guide!

Rod was an amazing tour guide, knowledgeable and fun. He kept my 80 year old mom and 16 year old son interested and engaged. He was absolutely wonderful- I cannot recommend him more highly. This was the best way to see London - it felt exclusive and we loved every bit of it.

Great tour in a traditional London cab with Clifford

If you are short on time, book a tour with Clifford. It’s the best way to see the city. Clifford was knowledgeable, punctual, and knew all the perfect photo spots. Seeing London from a classic black cab is an unbeatable experience. 5/5 stars

Highlight of our trip

This was the perfect way to see the big sights around London. Our guide Simon was so personable and just an absolute pleasure to spend a few hours with. He would’ve customized the tour to our specific interests but we were just as happy to have him show us around. Highly recommend a tour such as this one and with Simon specifically!

London Rock and Roll

We did custom black taxi tour with Jeff and he was fantastic. Customized the tour and details to the level we were looking for. If you’re thinking about picking this vs a tour with on a bus or with loads of people. Do yourself a favor and book this. The stops you want to see and for how long. 5/5.

Private black cab tour London

We did the private black cab tour today and it was absolutely spectacular. Our guide Paul took us through all the top spots but also lesser traveled spots. His knowledge was amazing and we had lovely conversation the entire 3 hours. I cannot recommend this enough. If you can, try and request him. This was unforgettable.
