5.00Michael was a top notch driver and tour guide . We really enjoyed our time with him . When departing he felt more like a friend than a hired driver . I would recommend him and this tour to anyone who wants more of a personal experience of London . He showed us all the highlights but also some non-tourist spots. He was rhe best decision we made while in London.
Excellent tour

5.00Gary was very friendly with lots of knowledge about all the sights we visited. He was very professional and gave us lots of opportunities to stop for photos. We would never have been able to see as many tourist sights with the taxi tour. Highly recommend.
We will use a Michael again! Until next time my friend!

5.00Michael, our driver was amazing. He is very kind and immediately figured out exactly what we liked. Showed us spots that we would have never got to see or experience. Made our first day in London a 10 out of a 10! He feels like family showing you where the cool things are.
Amazing. Gary was the perfect guide

5.00This is a great way to maximize your time in London. Gary our guide was very knowledgeable and fun. You get to understand what you see and see a lot more than doing it on your own. You can also customize your trip. Just the perfect activity.
Great black cab taxi tour.

5.00Paul was a fabulous guide. Very knowledgeable and engaging. We spent 3 hours traveling the city and seeing so much that we would have never found on our own. He tailored the trip to things that interested us. We would stop at different areas, get out walk around and take pictures. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.
Extremely knowledgeable and personal guide

5.00Mark was an exceptional tour guide—truly the kind who makes a place unforgettable. His knowledge was incredibly deep, yet he delivered it in such an easy, engaging way that you never felt overwhelmed—just more and more intrigued. What really set him apart was how personable he was. He connected effortlessly with the group, making the experience feel less like a tour and more like exploring with a very well-informed friend. If you have the chance to tour with Mark, take it—you’ll walk away having learned a lot and enjoyed every minute of it.
BOOK IT!

5.00Andy was absolutely fabulous. My first time bringing my Greek In Laws to London and he made everything so interesting for all of us. We saw everything they had wished in such a short time without feeling rushed. Thank you again
Touring London with an old friend & son

5.00Let me start by noting, Michael was me & my son’s tour guide, but Michael is soooo, so much more than a Black Cab driver/ tour guide, he is thoughtful, considerate, and a genuinely kind human. I had the pleasure of meeting Michael on a previous private tour a few years ago, and every single time I land in Londontown I intentionally request a tour, a ride or whatever is available with Michael. He is simply the BEST! He has become a friend 🇬🇧🇺🇸✨. If you are ever in London and have a few hours to see and experience the heart of London, book Michael ~ he alone is worth every pound ( and US conversion) and more! Thank you Michael for an always amazing time and experience! Cheers from Georgia, USA 🇺🇸.
