Alan saved our entire vacation!
Emily_P, Mar 2024
Alan saved our entire vacation! My significant other and I spent several days in another Country (that ended up being a very unfavorable experience) and only had one night in London before our last flight back home at noon the next day. We originally scheduled our tour to begin at 7pm, but unfortunately our flight was delayed, we experienced difficulty finding our hotel, traffic was horrendous, etc. I messaged Alan to inform him of our delay and apologized for the inconvenience. I did not ask to reschedule to a later time as I respect that he has planned his evening around our originally scheduled time, but to my surprise he offered to push the time back and reassured me not to worry or stress. I was absolutely overjoyed and grateful! We met him at the later time and had a BLAST learning about London as well as taking photos to remember the precious memories we were making. He knows all the perfect photo spots and is just wonderful to converse with. We couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience. We can’t wait to go back and book another tour with Alan :)

An unforgettable experience
Maria_S, Jun 2022
Gavin was one of the best tour guides my sister and I have ever had. He was so knowledgeable about the history of London. Gavin went out of his way to make London by night special for us. He was so friendly and funny. We were never bored! Now we have little known fun facts to impress our family with when we return home. He was also able to provide us with some great recommendations for activities to do while we’re here in London and restaurants to check out. If you’re looking for a way to enjoy the magic of London, you have to go with Gavin’s tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thank you very much for the lovely review. I am sure Gavin will be very pleased to hear such positive feedback. We do love our London by Night tour, such a wonderful way to spend an evening. And lastly - thank you for choosing Visit London Taxi Tours to see London at Night.
Beautiful night view of London
Maria_E, May 2022
The London by night private tour was very pleasant. We had the opportunity to see interesting parts of London. Our driver Alan was very knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy his job alot which made us enjoy the tour even more. We even went through a few small streets with interesting architecture and building colors. The part were we visited the region of London where Jack the Ripper used to hunt his victims gave us chills. Would definitely recommend it to any friend visiting London.
Response from Host, May 2022
You guys must have been flying about to fit in some East london - how fantastic. Great picture too of you guys by Albert Bridge - beautiful photo. Thanks for the feedback.
London By Night
Amy_S, Jul 2018
My husband and I so much enjoyed Alan's expertise as he drove us at night in the taxi observing iconic sites of London. Alan was very knowledgeable and personal and very professional. His management Cheryl was extremely helpful as they were willing to pick us up personally at our hotel. Would highly recommend this tour especially for first time visitors to London to capture the city's beauty and history in a short amount of time.
Response from Host, May 2019
