The best way to see London is from an iconic London Black Cab. Add to this a qualified driver/guide and you have the full package. London Cabbies face one of the strictest and toughest examination processes known colloquially as The Knowledge. It can take up to 3 years for them to learn every road, street, lane, alley, bar, restaurant, statue, apartment block, Police Station, hotel, church, government building, train station, literally anywhere a paying customer would wish to be taken. They also need to know the quickest route.
On top of all that your driver is also a qualified guide having completed a written and oral exam through the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers. You will travel from west to east and get to feast on all the history, heritage and culture this vibrant city has to offer.

5.00The six hour tour was very complete and accommodating, we saw pretty much all the top sights, with a stop for lunch. Our guide was excellent, I’d book another with him because he was so friendly and knowledgeable. Ask for Paul Williams.

5.00Paul is an excellent tour guide. Very informative, skilled at determining your interests and providing the experience that is best for you. He is superbly knowledgeable and personable. This is the best tour I have ever taken out of many. Well worth the time and money. We did the tour on our first day to get an overview of London and to help decide what to explore more fully.
Solo travelers, look no further!

5.00Wow! What a fabulous day! It started with Paul picking me up at my hotel right on time. He talked to me about what I was interested in, and then we started our day. His beautiful black cab was impeccably clean, as were the windows. That’s really important when you are driving by things you want to snap a picture of but don’t want to get out! He also had water available, and big umbrellas, just in case! Paul was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable, and made the tour very enjoyable. We stopped at so many places..the Abbey Road crosswalk, St. James and Buckingham Palaces, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Big Ben, Parliament, St. Paul’s and Westminster Abbey and so much more! And for my girlies who are traveling solo, Paul was so kind and gentlemanly, and took many pictures for me with my phone! Now I have a lovely pictorial collection from my time in London instead of every picture of me being a selfie! I really can’t say enough about how professional and personable Paul is. Don’t hesitate to book this tour. It’s the best six hours you will spend in London!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars — An Unforgettable Day in London!

5.00We booked a private black cab tour with Paul from Capital City Tours London, and it was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip! Paul was exceptionally knowledgeable, engaging, and funny — his passion for London’s history made every stop come alive. From Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace for the Changing of the Guard, to visiting the royal outfitters and tasting the famous Ginger Lemon Liqueur once favored by the early royal motorists — every moment was memorable. He even brought us to The George, London’s last surviving galleried coaching inn dating back to the 1600s, where we enjoyed a perfect pint surrounded by centuries of history. If you want a day that’s both educational and entertaining — with a true Londoner’s insider touch — book Paul. You’ll laugh, learn, and fall in love with London all over again! 🇬🇧✨

5.00This tour was what we hoped for and more. It does exactly what is says. You get a complete overview of London. Every sight we visited, Paul explained why it was there, what it was used for and had fantastic facts and stories. His storytelling technique is excellent. Travelling around in his iconic black cab was such a joyful experience and even we sawed the London Eye, the Gherkin, Big Ben and Buckingham palace as Paul is an expert of the iconic London landmarks as we sawed during the private black cab sightseeing tour . Paul was kind, considerate of our needs throughout the tour. We asked questions, he answered them all. This really is the best way to see London. I’ve been on private tours all over the world and this was easily the best. Thanks again for a first class experience.
Best tour ever!

5.00We only had 1 day available during our holiday for a tour of the city and we knew Paul Williams of Cabital City Tours was the only guide we wanted! The reviews were all stellar and sure enough our experience lived up to expectations and beyond!! We asked Paul to give us the London's greatest hits tour in which he expertly navigated the city with so much efficiency and knowledge, with perfect timing we got to see everything!! From Big Ben chiming to the changing of the guard at Westminster to clear traffic for an Abbey Road photo op to name a few. He knew the exact spot for the best photos and we appreciated so much the family photos he took. How lucky that everyone could be in the family photo! He shared so many stories, anecdotes and knowledge that we can't help sharing our new found knowledge with friends and family! We had the best time touring with Paul! Whether it's your first visit to London or 10th his tour will be the best you'll ever take. Thank you Paul for your generous spirit, kindness and knowledge of London - we loved every minute!
Best tour EVER!!

5.00We knew even before our trip that we wanted Paul Williams to do our tour of London! After reading the reviews and with only one day available to tour around it had to be Paul! And was that the best decision we made on the trip!! Paul communicated with us in advance prior to the trip to confirm he was available, which was fantastic. We spent 6 hours touring around London, we left the itinerary in his hands and he brought us to see all of London's greatest hits along with places we'd never heard of and would never have found ourselves! He is so knowledgeable and shares wonderful stories and anecdotes. So many that we continue to share and regale to our friends! He is kind and thoughtful and wanted us to have the best time, he took so many family photos, how amazing to have everyone in the photo at one time! We loved that he knew the times that events were going to happen and structured the tour so we got there at the perfect time and placed us for a perfect view. His inside knowledge was so helpful and allowed us to have an efficient tour, with no time wasted! He also knows everyone! All the places we went business owner to other guides shook his hand with a warm hello, which says a lot about his reputation. Whether it's your first time or 10th time in London, he is the best and we can't wait to return for more adventures! Thank you Paul for your generous spirit, knowledge of this wonderful city and kindness, we will never forget it!
