Great communication with the company. Had to change pickup point and it was no problem. Our driver/tour guide Gary picked us up on time and gave us a great tour. Perfect way to see the city and main sights in a short period of time.
Thanks for the lovely review. We’re glad you enjoyed your taxi tour with Gary.
Stuart was our tour guide. He was wonderful! Took time to get to know us as a family and shared interesting stories beyond the history. It was quite hot the day we toured, and he kept the taxi cool with AC and offered cold waters. We would strongly recommend this tour with Stuart!
Thanks for the great review of your taxi tour with Stuart! We’re so glad you enjoyed it.

My husband and I recently did a city black cab tour in London, and it was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip! Our tour guide, Michael, was absolutely incredible. From the moment he picked us up, his friendly and welcoming personality made us feel instantly at ease. His knowledge of the city is unmatched—he didn't just point out the major landmarks, but he also shared fascinating history, local secrets, and great stories that you would never find in a guidebook. Navigating London in a classic black cab was such a fun, authentic, and comfortable way to see the sights. Michael went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier tour of London!
Thanks for the great review of your London taxi tour with Michael! We're so glad you enjoyed your experience.
Stuart was on time to pick us up at our hotel lobby. We saw all the sights London has to offer. Stuart was so knowledgeable and kind and funny. A fun afternoon, I don’t know how he managed to drive through all the traffic but he is a pro! He went out of his way to find us a pharmacy when my husband needed a brace for his knee If you find you have time for a tour and I highly recommend Stuart be your guide!
Thanks for the lovely review of your taxi tour with Stuart. We're so glad you had a great experience.
Graham was an amazing tour guide who picked our family up at the hotel for this 2 hour highlight tour. I was traveling with my 10 year old daughter so wanted a smaller, more private tour and it was excellent. Graham provided insight to many of the places we visited which was great and informative for adults, but also made it fun and special for our daughter too - she got to sit in the drivers seat! We did this on our first day in London to get a sense of where the main sites were and helped plan where we wanted to visit in more depth later. This was truly a highlight of our trip and couldn't recommend it more highly, especially for families!
Thanks for the great review of your taxi tour with Graham. We’re so glad you enjoyed it!

Our family did a private 7-hour Black Cab Tour of London, and it was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. Our driver and guide, Michael, was absolutely outstanding. From the moment he picked us up, he treated my mother, sister, and me like we were members of his own family. This was my mother's first trip to London, and Michael made sure it was an unforgettable experience. What made the tour so special was how personalized it was. Throughout the day, Michael talked through different ideas and options with us, was incredibly open to our suggestions, and happily adjusted the itinerary as we went. His knowledge of London was simply unmatched. We saw all iconic landmarks, but we also explored hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path places that we never would have found on our own. Some of our favorite moments included watching the Changing of the Guard, visiting Abbey Road, strolling through Notting Hill and Portobello Road, and making a completely spontaneous stop at Paddington Station because my nieces love Paddington Bear. Michael embraced those little moments, and they ended up becoming some of the most memorable parts of the day. Whenever it added to the experience, Michael got out of the cab and walked with us, sharing stories, history, and local insights that brought each place to life. His genuine enthusiasm for London was infectious, and you could tell he truly loves what he does. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. I'm keeping Michael's number in my phone because I fully intend to tour with him again when I bring my children to London. I'll also be recommending him to any friend who wants an incredible, personalized introduction to this amazing city. If you're considering a Black Cab tour of London, don't hesitate — and if you can, ask for Michael. You won't regret it.
Thanks the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your London taxi tour with Michael
