A Beatles London taxi tour and sightseeing experience
Description
London of the 1960s was electric, exhilarating and era-defining: trust me, I was there! I'd love to share with you the iconic places of that incredible decade, where the Fab Four and other stars lived, hung-out and recorded. This is a complete A-Z of the four mop tops meteoric rise to fame from their arrival in London in 1962 to their last gig as a band on the roof top of their Saville Row headquarters in 1969. During the London black taxi tour we’ll visit the Abbey Road recording studios and of course that famous zebra crossing (crosswalk) which has become a grade II listed site. No two Capital Cabbie tours are ever the same – let me know your interests and I’ll build them into the tour. My goal is to provide you and your group with an unforgettable sightseeing experience. Flexibility really is the name of the game: I will tailor your tour to your time, pace and interests.

The tour was wonderful and fun while also being informative. This was because our guide, David, was excellent. He let us in on so many hidden treasures that we could never have found on our own. Highly, highly recommend this tour with David even for the most casual Beatles fan.
Wonderful half day tour with David who was entertaining and knowledgeable about the Beatles. Really enjoyed seeing all the historical Beatles locations. Highly recommend!
My wife arranged this wonderful, private Black Cab tour with David, as a birthday gift to me during our recent trip to London. This was genuinely a highlight of our stay this year! David is a very kind gentleman, and has certainly done his research when constructing his tours! His Beatles tour offered a great insight to the Beatles association with people and places in London. He even had pictures to prove it! David followed our tour up with a very kind note, pictures he had taken for us during our tour, and information about the areas we would be visiting after our time in London.
Hi, Thank you so much for the amazing review and feedback. It was a pleasure meeting you both and taking you on a Beatles tour on such a special occasion - no pressure then! Looking forward to our next tour when you're in town. Best wishes, David
This was our second tour with David because all the family is a huge fan of his. The 3 hours went by like a flash! Every year, like a tradition, we want to discover new parts of London with David telling us fascinating inside stories! Thank you David for these unforgettable memories!

David was such a knowledgeable and fun guide! Touring in his black taxi around London was glorious!

Highly recommend!!
Hi, I'm delighted that you enjoyed the London Beatles tour, and thank you for the wonderful review and feedback. Warmest regards, David
This was one of our favorite tours that we took in our time overseas! My husband was in heaven seeing all the Beatles sights. David was a great tour guide with his conversation and knowledge base, and the price was 100% worth it to have a private tour that makes your experience more personal. David had water and snacks in the vehicle, and we visited Abbey Road, the location of the last rooftop concert, the former Apple studios, Paul's London home, Paul's London studio, where John met Yoko, and Trident Studios in Soho amongst many others. If you are a Beatles fan, you definitely get to see all the sights you would want to and more! Thanks for a great tour, David!

Hi Sherry, I'm so pleased that you all enjoyed the tour, and thank you for the amazing review and feed back. Warmest regards, David
David is nothing short of being a fantastic your guide. He went to great lengths to make sure that our tour involved minimal walking as two people in our party have mobility issues. We have traveled all over the world and had many tour guides but the tour with David showed the best care for our safety and comfort. We learned a lot and had a tremendous amount of fun!!
