4 amazing hours with guide Ray through the best spots of Londen...
What a treat! Ray drove our party of 7 on a private 4 hour drive through London. We all visited before, but Ray's stories and hidden secrets were amazing. What value for money this was! Want to know the origin of the term " box office", where Lady Di's family lives, what's the best spot for Trooping the Colors... we even learned about the 5 minute difference between Oxford time and GMT, the invention of the chronograph, and some Cockney dialect and 'curry' in London.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Ray brought London’s hidden stories and fascinating little details to life for you. It sounds like you discovered plenty of new secrets, even as returning visitors! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Ray, and hope to welcome you back again in the future.

Pefect London Black Taxi Tour Guide for Families
David was absolutely fantastic! He was incredibly engaging, funny, and genuinely interesting, giving us the perfect balance of London’s fascinating history and unique fun, facts about this incredible city. He kept all of us entertained—and most importantly, our 13-year-old son was completely captivated. At the end of the tour, our son officially crowned David a “really cool bro,” which may be the highest possible review from a teenager! We couldn’t have asked for a better way to experience London. David made the history come alive while keeping the tour fun, relaxed, and engaging. He gave us time to get out of the taxi to walk and stretch which really added to the overall experience. Highly recommend David for black taxi tour guide to anyone visiting London—especially families with teens!
Operator response

Excellent Black Cab Experience with Rachel
We had a fantastic private tour with Rachel and I can’t recommend her enough. She was a perfect guide for our family. We were traveling with teenagers, middle aged, and elderly-all with different interests-and she managed to create an itinerary that made everyone happy. That was not small feat! She went out of her way to make sure we were happy and comfortable and the service was truly above and beyond.
Operator response
Thank you for your review. It is our pleasure to create an enjoyable and memorable experience for the whole family, something for all generations. Rachel thoroughly enjoyed your company and the day too.
