John is an excellent and fun guide! He took us throughout London and took us to see all the beautiful lights. We stopped and took great pictures in all the special displays!
Our family of three thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Seb picked us up at our hotel at 4pm and took us to see many Christmas lights in a variety of areas. He kindly took a few pictures of us too when he could. Because of traffic and the crowds, we may have missed a few spots like Covent Garden, but Seb made up for it by taking us to so many other places. He had a great sense of humor too. We arranged in advance to be dropped off at a restaurant we made a dinner reservation at which was very helpful too. Definitely recommend.
My husband and I had a wonderful time on our tour with Michael. He took us all over the city, and gave us really interesting background details on different areas of town. It felt like we had the inside scoop on the best parts to see in London from a local. And the Christmas parts he took us to were exceptional! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting London at Christmas!
Jaime was our driver and we had a great time with him. He showed us the beautiful festive lights throughout London and took fantastic pictures of us. Jaime provided us with stories and histories of the various sections of London and the sights. He was extremely accommodating of our requests. You will have a great tour with Jaime. He is professional, funny and overall nics individual. You’re in great hands and it will be a very enjoyable time.
Gary our tour guide was AMAZING!! His style, his knowledge, his eye for the history and lights, his creativity - all impeccable! It was an experience our family will cherish forever as he captured every great moment for us! We are so grateful. Thank you, Gary!
Johnny was exceptional. He shared his vast knowledge of London and helped us get some great photographs. Highly recommended.
What a great way to see London’s Christmas decorations in a short amount of time & get out of the cold! Our driver was great! He was gracious enough to mix in some history while he showed us about. I would not hesitate to book a tour with him, Christmas or historic. Thanks again! We had a grand time & the pictures you took of us were indeed great. Merry Christmas!
We had a wonderful tour with Jon! He was a knowledgeable and personable guide. Jon picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off at our next destination (after the tour). This tour was the perfect way to start our London trip. Jon showed us the prettiest Christmas lights and decor of London as well as highlights of the city. It was raining and crowded (because of the holiday season), but we were still able to see everything in a few hours. If you are short on time, I would highly recommend this tour!
We had a fabulous tour with our very knowledgeable and entertaining driver, Terry. It was a wonderful way to get an overview and bearings of London early in our stay, so that we could revisit things we liked in more detail over the rest of our holiday. Terry’s tips, historical insights and recommendations of things to revisit were outstanding and put to good use later. The lights and Christmas festivities were magnificent and Terry’s ability to navigate the crowds to give us best vantages was really impressive. Thank you Terry and Black Cabs!!
John D, our driver and guide was excellent per his knowledge and guidance. He knew all the stops to get the best pictures. Best tour we have experiencef.
