A quick trip in London.

Fantastic experience. Alan was easy to communicate with especially for us to decide on a pickup point since we were not staying in the city and on foot touring before we met him. This was not our first trip to London but Alan got us all around and showed us some interesting spots we have never seen before. He was friendly and informative. He stopped at the iconic spots and jumped out and he took pictures for us too. It was a great evening and we felt like we were with a local friend driving us around the city giving an insider tour! I would definitely book this again.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re really pleased you had such a good evening with Alan. One of the nicest things about a private London taxi tour is that it can feel far more relaxed and personal than a traditional sightseeing experience, especially for guests who have visited London before and want to see a different side of the city. Alan is very good at mixing the iconic London landmarks with quieter corners, hidden spots, and the sort of insider stories that help guests experience London more like a local than a tourist. It’s also great to hear that the pickup arrangements worked smoothly while you were already out exploring the city on foot beforehand. Flexibility is a big part of what we try to offer. Thank you again for choosing Visit London Taxi Tours and we’d love to welcome you back next time you’re in London.

Great way to see the city...

Great way to see the city highlights at night! Stops include places you would expect, like Big Ben and Tower Bridge, but also some spots you may have missed during the day including the City of London Corporation building! A must include on your next London trip.

Operator response

Thanks for the 5-star review. It’s always rewarding to hear that we did a great job and that you enjoyed seeing London’s highlights at night.

Rainy evening with Yiannis

Fabulous 4 hours... Treated to several little known "secrets" and great visas of iconic sights. So much more than merely driving the city. Stories, history, went out of his way to get us up close to places. We had rain, as one so often does in London, but it didn't dampen the evening! We highly recommend you too spend an evening exploring with Yiannis

Operator response

London at Night

Alan gave us a fantastic tour of London and left us with some of our favorite pictures from the trip. He added to our travel wishlist and has given us numerous places to explore the next time we come to London. So glad we took the night tour! Would love to try the Harry Potter themed tour next time.
