Amazing

Michael_G, Apr 2024

Barry was a great tour guide. We were able to see the whole city and learn a ton. Would highly recommend.

Excellent Private Tour!

Sandra_N, Apr 2024

This was the best tour, Ray was knowledgeable, friendly, and expertly explained so much of London’s history. He offered suggestions and emphasized the tour was totally customizable. He went out of his to ensure we saw what interested us. You will not be disappointed.

Great Day Touring London!

John_V, Apr 2024

We had a great day with Frank. He was awesome. We saw a lot of London in only one day and he was very informative and friendly. Would recommend to anyone visiting London.

Rachel Made Our Day!

Darci_M, Apr 2024

Rachel was an amazing guide. Anyone who can entertain teenagers for 8 hours is a dream come true! She and I emailed a bit ahead of time so she knew some of the things we were interested in, and then she added more than I could’ve asked for!

Loved our guide and tour

Judy_E, Feb 2024

Ray was on time, so accommodating, knowledgeable, fun and an excellent guide. He was also a patient and very good driver. Thank you, Ray

Best Way to See London. Ask for Frank!

Ian_R, Jan 2024

1000% recommend! We just completed the 6-hour tour with Frank as our guide and it was phenomenal! We were able to see so many highlights of London in a short amount of time. The convenience of traveling in a private black cab and tailored tour to our desired hot spots are what make this experience stand out. On top of that, Frank's knowledge, customer service, friendliness, and experiential touches knocked this tour out of the park! Can't wait to come back to London and ask for Frank again.

Exceptional Tour

Benjamin_A, Dec 2023

Ray is a such a knowledgeable tour guide. He was very thorough. He gave us plenty of time to take pictures, take in the sites. He was extremely patient and kind.

Not satisfactory

simge_t, Nov 2023

It was not tailored as per the needs of kids and elder people. Could be more attractive for kids too

Great tour

Pamella_E, Oct 2023

We had an amazing day with David He made the day extra special and added in so much knowledge and history

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you!

A day to remember

Katherine_H, Oct 2023

We had the pleasure of riding with Rachel. A very lovely and bright soul. She ensured that we were completely comfortable and went at a pace that was comfortable. She took time to ensure that we hit the highlights, had history, context and understanding of the city, made our wish list, and learn along the ways what would be interesting to the group. Even aloud us to stop for an impromptu lunch and bathroom break. In the 4 hours we had a fulfilling experience and a full day. We did not leave the tour filling as though we missed anything. It was a lovely time and as everyone has stated either this iss perfect for a one day tour or to kick off your time in London.

One of the best things in London.

curtis_m, Sep 2023

Driver, Tim, was on time, and was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Will recommend him to anyone.

Terence_B, Jul 2023

Steve our guide and driver was fun, extremely knowledgeable, and quite personable. He tailored our tour perfectly. We saw more in six hours than in our entire last trip to London!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Many thanks for your review!

We highly recommend this tour with Steve.

Rita_D, Jul 2023

We only had ½ day in London and decided that a taxi tour would be the most efficient way to see the most sites in a short amount of time. Steve was the absolute BEST guide. He showed us all the major landmarks and SO much more! He was very knowledgeable and informative. His cab was beautiful, spotless, and stocked with water and snacks for us. We highly recommend this tour with Steve.
