Our 6 hour tour in your black cab was the highlight of our 4 week tour of Europe. David, our guide was terrific. Friendly, professional, funny and fun. We saw places we would never have seen if we had attempted to find them on our own.. our tour was 6 hours and we got to fit in so many of the historical locations but fun ones as well, saw the changing of the guard, I got to sit in a chair that Sir Winston Churchill had also sat in, got to walk across the Iconic Abbey Road made famous by the Beatles, know know the story of how Big Ben got its name, learned that judges etc.. still wear the wigs we have all seen in history books, The London Eye, and so very much more. Thank you, David for a most memorable day..
What a great review, thank you! We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your tour with David, and packed so much! We hope to see you again soon.

Raymond Winstone provided a wonderfully bespoke private tour for us allowing us to experience and see all we wanted in London and more. Being able to attend Holy Communion service on a Sunday at Westminster Abbey was an experience of a life time. Ray made it happen for us.

Six stars if I could! Tim is such a great man - knowledge, kind, caring, and fun! Incredible guide, safe driver and very thoughtful. The family - 5 of us (16, 15, 8), had such a great time on the tour, and Tim made things so much fun, entertaining and a great learning experience for us all. He had so many surprises for us, engaged the kids and best of all, captured the day with lots of photos. He helped us create memories for a lifetime — thank you!

Thank you for your review Melissa.
We had a day trip from Paris to London and Black Taxi Tour accommodated our group and met us at the train station. Our guide was Gary and was EXCELLENT! He was knowledgeable, funny, and an hit every site on our wish list. He gave us a very delicious recommendation for traditional fish & chips. We couldn’t have asked for a better company or guide for this family trip.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your tour in London with Gary. Thank you for your review!
Peter was great! The tour was wayyyyy more than we expected and we loved every minute of it!
Thank you Shelley!
