Private Tour

4 hours
Mobile ticket
See all the iconic sights of London and more from the comfort of one of the Capitals biggest and instantly recognisable icons, a London Black Cab!
With your 5 hour London Highlights tour we will travel through time going back to the city's Roman roots, through the Medieval period right up to the modern day, taking in the major sights of St. Pauls, Tower of London, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace plus many more
Throughout the whole tour my aim will be to keep everything light hearted, fun and memorable on each of the places we visit.
We will not be confined to the taxi, and as opportunities arise, we can always stop for those much wanted photo opportunities and at times perhaps a small stroll to the more advantageous spots.

Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of the UK’s sovereigns since 1837 and today is the administrative headquarters of the Monarch. Today, Buckingham Palace is very much a working building and the centrepiece of the UK’s constitutional monarchy, it serves as the venue for many royal events and ceremonies from entertaining foreign Head of States to celebrating achievement at Investitures and receptions.
Houses of Parliament
The Palace of Westminster, to give it its official name, serves as the meeting place for both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Both Houses work on behalf of UK citizens to check and challenge the work of Government, make and shape effective laws, and debate/make decisions on the big issues of the day.

We did the four-hour London private tour with Black Cab tour guide. The tour was well-organized, and Paul, our excellent guide, flexibly modified our itinerary to suit our preferences. He provided great insights into what we saw, and accommodated our needs at every turn. The 4 hours flew by. I'd highly recommend this private tour (we were 2 couples). And you'd be very fortunate to have Paul as your driver & guide.

Mark was an excellent guide. He was so knowledgeable and funny to keep my two teens interested. We learned so much on this trip, stopped at all the places we wanted to go and got some great pictures. My husband, who is not a tour type person, said it was the best tour he had ever been on and he really enjoyed it.

We had an amazing time on our tour of London with Paul! He was right on time, super organized, and made sure we got to see every single spot we had hoped to visit. It was clear he had planned everything carefully, and he kept the day running smoothly without ever making us feel rushed. Paul was friendly, easy to talk to, and shared just the right amount of history and fun facts along the way. He was always happy to answer questions and he even made some great suggestions for things we could do and see while we were there, that we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. His attention to detail and genuine care for our experience made such a difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — thank you, Paul, for such a memorable and well-run tour! Highly recommend! Andrea M.

If you are lucky to have Paul as your guide, I can guarantee you an excellent tour. Paul communicated with me prior to our tour and created an itinerary that made sense for our family. Paul is quite knowledgeable about London and is an excellent, safe driver. Most importantly, he was kind and patient to my quirky parents who sometimes did not follow directions (lol). I selected this tour mainly for my father who has limited mobility. My parents have previously visited London in the 80s and didn't necessarily needed the full experience. They wanted to see things up close in the comfort of a black cab with the option of short walks. This tour was worth every penny I spent on it and will book again when I come back to London with my husband!

Paul was excellent- he showed us hidden sides of London. He was extremely knowledgable. We had a great time, worth the money.

Mr. Paul van Nuland was simply the best tour guide we had while we stayed in London. He was easy going, informative and efficient. I would take this tour again and we highly recommend him.

Our private tour of London during our flight layover with Paul was amazing! Paul was prompt, extremely courteous and his knowledge of London history was impeccable! We can't wait to return to London, and will definitely call on Paul for his extraordinary service. The Derrys
