Very well organized. Some flexibility designed in. Great history and personal observations from an incredible driver.
This is the perfect tour for anyone visiting London for the first time. Our guide, Steve, was informative, entertaining, deeply knowledgeable, and shared some terrific stories. Highly recommend!
The tour was fantastic! Rueben was super fun and knowledgeable. Cannot say enough good things about this tour. Highly recommend.
Maria was absolutely incredible and truly one of the **best tour guides we have ever had**. We cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment our private London taxi tour began, it was obvious how incredibly knowledgeable Maria is. She knew so much about London’s history, the landmarks, the neighborhoods, and all of the fascinating stories behind the places we were seeing. She didn’t just drive us from stop to stop—she brought London to life for us with her stories and historical knowledge, and we learned so much from her. What made the experience even better was how perfectly she catered the tour to **exactly what we wanted to see and do**. She knew how to get us in and out of the different stops efficiently, where to go, what was worth seeing, and how to make the absolute most of our time. Everything felt personal rather than like a standard scripted tour. Beyond being incredibly smart and knowledgeable, Maria was also just such a **kind, warm and generous person**. She brought us waters, took wonderful care of us throughout the tour, made us feel completely welcome, and was genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. We loved her company just as much as we loved everything she showed us. London is such a beautiful city, and Maria gave us an entirely new appreciation for it because of the history, stories and insight she shared along the way. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience or a better guide. Maria is **one of a kind**, and if you are considering a private London taxi tour, BOOK WITH HER. You will be so glad you did. **Highly, highly, highly, highly recommend Maria! Five stars does not feel like enough!**
Greg went out of his way to find out our specific interests and adjusted the tour to include them in addition to the highlights of London. We had mobility limited passengers and he took that into consideration for every stop. Her was very helpful in recommending other activities for after the tour. I would highly recommend using his services.
The black taxi tour of London was outstanding!!! We had a private tour. Paul picked us up at our hotel and spent 4 hours showing us the sights. We got out frequently to take pictures and he took many photos of the two of us. Paul was knowledgeable and very personable as well as professional. He made this Beatles fan dream come true by taking us to Abby Road. He even recreated the Abby Riad album cover for us by taking our photo crossing the street. I can’t say enough positive reviews of this tour and our guide Paul!!!!!
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on our black cab tour of London yesterday! Nick was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and history at every stop that brought the city to life in a way we never could have discovered on our own. He hit all the must-see landmarks and even added a few hidden gems along the way. Beyond his expertise, he was warm, courteous, and genuinely made us feel welcome from start to finish. Nick takes real pride in showing off his city. If you’re visiting London and want an insider’s perspective delivered with charm and professionalism, this is the tour to book. Highly recommend!
I saw more on few hours than i could by wlaking days

Four hours to see highlights of London. Clifford went above and beyond to show us and help us understand what we were seeing. He also suggested stops we hadn’t even considered. He always found parking to get great pictures. This was well worth the time and money.
