10/10 London Experience

5.00Dave was an unreal guide and our experience of the city would not be the same without him. He taught us so much of the history of the city with all of its complexities and it really made us appreciate the city even more. Incredible time and totally worth it.
All of the best London highlights with Mannie!

5.00Mannie was our driver and we couldn't ask for much more! Mannie had the heart of a saint as he worked with us and our disabled in-laws on every leg. He was patient (helped load and unload a motorized scooter at every stop), very informative, and safely stopped at all of the right sites that we hoped to see in London. We not only recommend this company, but highly recommend Mannie! Thank you!
Tracey was an exceptional guide! We loved our 8 hour tour in London!

5.00Our tour with Tracey back in early November was beyond exceptional! We were in England & Scotland for two weeks and her tour was easily one of the top highlights of the entire two weeks! Tracey was prompt, extremely knowledgeable of the London area, took great photos of us at all the top locations, super friendly & kind, and took such good care of us the whole day. We had a wide variety of interests across all of London, and she made sure we saw even more than we ever hoped we’d see. If you have a limited amount of time in London, this tour is a must-do. There’s no way any amount of planning would have allowed us to see as much as we saw in a single day. We felt like total VIPs in our cab, and were able to adjust the day as we went. We learned so much about the area and Tracey was an expert on where to park, how best to get to every location, recommendations for our next few days, and took us to some hidden gems we wouldn’t have known about without her. Later in the week, our family was lucky enough to have her as a guide on a 4-hour tour, and even with the limited amount of time, they were able to see and do so much. And Tracey was able to adjust to their mobility issues and make it so fun for them as well! One would think 8 hours is a long time to be with one guide, but we were so sad to see it end! There are simply not enough words to describe how wonderful our time with Tracey was, but the next time we return to London, I’d love to request her again and see more hidden gems of London with her. If you get Tracey as your guide, you’re in for a really amazing day! Tracey went above and beyond and I truly hope our paths cross again in the future! - Your friends from the US, Kelly & Greg

5.00It’s a wonderful way to see London. Exceptional local knowledge by Dave my London cabbie. We were able to navigate through very small streets, stop and explore so many places. He even doubles as your photographer. Highly recommend this tour
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Ultimate London Tour with JP
steverkemp,Sep 18, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00If you’re coming to London and want to see everything (and I mean everything), do yourself a favor and book a day with John “JP” Parsons. JP has been driving cabs for 34 years and giving tours for the last 10 — and it shows. He’s found his calling. A true Cockney with a heart of gold, JP’s knowledge of London is bar none. From Londinium to modern-day skyscrapers, he somehow squeezes 2,000 years of history into 8 hours without ever making it feel rushed. His commentary is sharp, funny, and full of those little details that make the city come alive. And the man himself? Absolutely amazing. Personable, happy, great smile, contagious laugh — he clearly loves what he does. He’s quick to tease his American tourists (all in good fun), and it keeps the day lively and memorable. Forget the “black cab” stereotype — JP drives a sleek white cab that’s spotless, comfortable, and feels like your private lounge on wheels. Perfect for couples, it made our anniversary trip truly special. What we loved most is how he tailored the day to our interests. Royals, WWII, quirky neighborhoods — he adjusted the itinerary on the fly to match our curiosity. We saw more in one day than we could’ve managed in a week on our own. This was the capstone of our trip and hands down the best way to spend your first day in London to get the lay of the land. JP’s tour is part history lesson, part stand-up comedy, and all-around brilliant. Cheeky, charming, and unforgettable — thanks, JP, for making our London adventure one for the books!

5.00JEREMY WAS AMAZING! Tour was a 10/10!!! Out of all the tours I’ve been on internationally, this was the best one yet. I am so happy I booked with him. I came with my mom and my sister in August 2025 and he gave us such a fantastic experience! Jeremy was inviting, helpful, accommodating, enthusiastic, and delightful. Could not have asked for a better tour, he gave us EVERYTHING AND MORE. Provided us with so many facts and information, we would recommend him to everyone! Jeremy you were everything and more!! THANK YOU!
