Highly recommend!

My husband got sick the day of our tour so I was left to do the tour with my 2.5 and 5 year old alone but Clifford was such an amazing help! He made sure to make the tour fun and entertaining for both the kids and I. He came with umbrellas that we ended up having to use since the weather changed up on us, he helped walk my kiddos across the crosswalks and kept us safe throughout the city, he would help hold their hands anywhere we went and did an amazing job taking pictures of us anywhere we stopped!

If You Only Do One Tour in London, Make It This One

Our family had an absolutely fantastic experience with Sightseeing Taxi Tours and our guide, Clifford. As first-time visitors to London, this tour was the perfect way to see the city and get oriented while learning so much about its history. During the tour we visited iconic landmarks including Tower Bridge, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Abbey Road, and even some Sherlock Holmes. What truly made the experience special was Clifford himself. His historical knowledge was outstanding, and he knew exactly where to take us for the most memorable photographs. He also showed us hidden gems that we would never have found on our own and provided excellent recommendations for the rest of our stay in London. We were traveling with our two daughters, and Clifford went above and beyond by adding a few extra stops that he knew they would love. They were thrilled! The comfort of touring London from the cab was wonderful, especially after a long travel day, and Clifford was incredibly flexible whenever we wanted to make a quick stop. One of our favorite moments was a special stop near St. Paul’s, where Clifford took what became our favorite family photo of the entire trip. And yes—he even helped us get the perfect Abbey Road crossing picture by stopping traffic for us! This was one of the highlights of our London visit, and I would highly recommend it to any first-time visitor, especially families. Thank you, Clifford, for making our introduction to London so memorable.

We had an absolutely...

We had an absolutely incredible time on our 2-hour London black cab tour, and it was all thanks to our guide, Paul. If you are looking for a way to see the city efficiently while still getting a deep dive into its history, this is the way to do it. Paul was excellent and incredibly knowledgeable. He had a wealth of interesting facts and stories for every landmark we passed, which made the experience so much more engaging than just a standard sightseeing drive. What really stood out was how he personalized the tour for us; he tailored the route to include things he knew would resonate with our interests. Even in just a short 2-hour window, we managed to see all the major highlights and even discovered several new places we never would have found on our own. The timing was more than perfect. Beyond his knowledge of London, Paul went above and beyond to make sure we had great memories of the trip. He stopped frequently to take photos of us at the best spots, and his skills with a camera phone are truly outstanding! We walked away with professional-looking shots that we will treasure. I would recommend Paul over and over again to anyone visiting London. It was the highlight of our trip!

Wonderful Start, Great Driver - Clifford

Wonderful start to a beautiful holiday. Clifford is an exceptional driver, historian, and gentleman. He contacted us early in the day (unfortunately we were on our airplane) to let us know that he would be picking us up at our hotel. Then he called later to confirm we had arrived and the exact time he should be at the hotel. The tour of London by night in a famous London Black Cab was full of history, trivia and lights. Clifford knows the best location for pictures and selfies, plus he's a pretty good photographer to take a picture of the group. I personally loved all the historical and trivia bits as I love the added information.
