You can choose exactly where to go, what to see and when to hop in or hop out of my Electric powered London Black Taxi. This Tour is your very own personalised view of London.

Itinerary
The Big Sights Tour is the Favourite. You see London’s most iconic big sights all in half a day from the comfort of your own cab. I can also modify the tour to visit the places that you want to see most. Typically, this will include Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, London Eye, Trafalgar Square and St Paul’s Cathedral. I can pick you up from your Hotel, or any location in London. I can also design a themed tour for you. London has loads to offer. Previous ideas have included Tudor London, Roman London, Movie Locations, Harry Potter London, Beatles London and Americans in London. My Taxi is a 6 seater, with WiFi, a panoramic glass roof, wheelchair access, enclosed passenger compartment and USB charging points. Alternatively, tell me how long you’ve got and where you would like to visit, then let’s me take you, in the comfort and privacy of your own taxi, to see the streets and sights of London.
Stop outside the gates and get your photos right on the Queen’s doorstep.
View the Eye from Hungerford Bridge.
Hop out and walk across the Square. Fab photo opportunities of Whitehall, Nelson’s Column and the Canadian Embassy.
Stop outside this huge 17th century cathedral and stroll down to the Millennium Bridge over the River Thames.
View this magnificent 11th century castle from Tower Hill.
Get a fabulous vista of this iconic London landmark, from Saint Catherine’s Dock.

I can't overstate how much we enjoyed our 2 tours with Dave and just how good they were. Tour 1 was a tailor made tour for us. Dave had taken onboard our wishlist (and incorporated what what we'd previously seen) to produce a cracking 4 hour route that ticked every box for us, including our request for a couple of pub stops along the way. Tour 2 was the first of Dave's Christmas lights tours this year and it was just as good, with a mix of nighttime landmarks and stories to complement the light displays themselves. Another great experience. Dave himself knows his stuff, tells a cracking story, and is a top class host. Look no further four your London tour guide.
Hi Stewart and Sue, Many thanks for your very kind Review. It was excellent that you gave me such a good steer on what you wanted to see, and not see. You obviously know London well and I love the challenge of creating a tailor made tour, to take people such as yourselves, to places you didn't know existed! It was awesome too to give you two tours in one day, with the Christmas Lights looking so lovely and rounding off the day nicely. Hope to see you again in the future. Dave
Dave did an outstanding job of showing us all the highlights and relaying all the history of London. He knew all the best places for photo stops and some interesting hidden gems. Great afternoon. Would not hesitate to recommend him.
Hi Anne and Pat, Thanks very much for your very kind Review. It was lovely to meet you and I’m so glad that you enjoyed the Taxi Tour. Hope to see you again some time, if you're back in London. Best wishes Dave
Wonderful day with Dave on our royal taxi tour! This was for my mother in laws 80th birthday celebration and she loves the royal family. Dave tailored the tour perfectly and was very knowledgeable. We had a great time hopping off at different places. Thank you Dave for a truly memorable experience.
Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for your lovely Review. You were a fabulous group to show around the Royal locations of London. Jan knew so much about the Royal Family as well. I’m really glad that you all enjoyed it. Kind Regrds Dave
Great day with Dave! A friend highly recommended him to me after they booked him in January of this year. Dave picked us up from Southampton and drove us to our London hotel, waited while we check in and get settled and took us on a four hour big sites of London tour. He was prompt, personable, and professional. Don’t hesitate, book him now. It was the best decision of our vacation.
Hi Tammy, Thanks a lot for your very kind review. You and Kirk were such lovely people to spend the day with. It worked well to meet you from your cruise in Southampton , then to do the Tour after you’d checked in. Hope to see you again one day Best wishes Dave
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the absolute pleasure of touring London with Dave as our personal driver, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He took us to all the big sights in one packed, fabulous 6-hour tour, but it wasn’t just about checking boxes. Dave gave us so much history and context for each stop that we felt like we were truly experiencing the city—not just looking at it. He was patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the day feel relaxed and easy despite covering so much ground. No rushing, no stress—just good vibes and great stories. If you’re visiting London and want a more personal, comfortable, and memorable experience than being crammed on a bus with 100 strangers, book Dave. Truly the best guy all around. Thank you, Dave, for making our day in London so special!
Hi Christy, Thanks so much for your very kind Review. It was lovely to meet you and Ronnie, as well as being joined by Becky and Keith too. We got to see so much during your extended tour and I’m so pleased that you found it a memorable experience. Dave
Dave always puts on a Greta taxi tour . A great way to see London and the Tudor one we did today was particularly informative and interesting- would highly recommend!
Hi Ella, Thanks very much for the very kind Review. I’m so glad that you both enjoyed the Tudor London Taxi tour and i hope it also helps a bit with your History A level. See you on another Tour some time in the future. Best wishes Dave
It was a very nice experience with a lot of interesting information about the individual stations. David was an extremely friendly and extremely competent guide...
Hello Wolfgang, Thank you very much for this kind Review. It was great to give you a ride in the taxi on one day and then to provide you with a Big Sights Taxi Tour the next. I am so glad that it worked out well for you. Dave
Dave was awesome! We had a wonderful tour of the city. He is super knowledgeable and drove expertly all throughout the city pointing out interesting sites and facts. Dave is also very flexible. We changed our pick-up time a few times and he was completely fine with that. He is very communicative, reaching out weeks before out tour to inquire about sites we wanted to see, etc. He also recommended various restaurants and pubs to try. I highly recommend Dave and his London Taxi Tour!
Thanks very much indeed for your very kind review. It’s always heart warming to read that flexibility and personal communication is appreciated. To me, it’s worth spending time on planning for the specific needs of each customer, being flexible and communicating clearly. It’s a big benefit of a private taxi tour, compared to other tours and I’m so glad it was worth it for you. See you again one day I hope! Dave
Dave was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. He was on time and picked us up from the train station. We had already given him a list of where we would like to go, we went to all plus more. It was an absolute perfect way to see London in such a short amount of time. Dave also suggested other places to visit. He took photos of us the whole way around and sent them to us immediately. We could not recommend Dave high enough. We had an awesome day.
Hi Virginia, Thanks very much for your very kind review. You and Garth were a terrific couple to host on a Taxi Tour of London. I’m so glad we got to see all the big sights in 4 hours, including the Abbey Road Studios and crossing. I hope your trip home was OK and you’ll always be welcome on one of my tours if you return to the UK. Dave
We had an excellent day with Dave on the Big Sights tour of London. Dave is flexible, knowledgeable, understanding and great company. He was very considerate and attentive to the needs of my 91 year old father who has reduced mobility needs, and enabled us to see all the sights we hoped to include, tailored to include an added extra one my father particularly wanted to visit. Dave knows the best locations to stop off to get some wonderful views of key sights. His cab is very comfortable with a great panoramic glass roof which allows a good view of tall buildings whilst touring round London. We would recommend Dave's tours, and hope to book another one again. Thank you Dave for a very special and memorable day.
Hi Liz, Thanks very much for your very kind review. I’m so glad that you all enjoyed the tour and I too, loved having the company of your group. Your Dad is such an inspiration and I really liked hearing his memories and knowledge of London as well as relishing the challenge of finding the best spots for easily access and great photo vantage points. I look forward to seeing you all again on your next tour! Kind regards Dave
