Dennis is the BEST!

5.00Dennis is the best tour guide ever! He arrived right on time in an immaculate cab, and he even provided snacks and water! In 4 hours we saw all the major attractions and areas of London! Dennis is a human history textbook! He provided facts and interesting trivia about all we saw; he was not only knowledgeable, but he was personable and accommodating throughout the tour. There was no better way to spend our first full day in London. We highly recommend this tour—request Dennis; you won’t be disappointed!

5.00Dave’s car tour through London was straight-up history in motion. 🚗💨 The way he brought the city to life — the stories, the roots, the culture — it felt like he was giving us a personal tour of London’s past and present at the same time. The history he gave us was amazing. The energy was unreal. Dave really made London feel legendary. 🔥📚🇬🇧
Book Andrew as your tour guide

5.00The four‑hour black cab tour was the perfect way to begin our weeklong London adventure. Our guide, Andrew, was not only proper and professional but also impressively knowledgeable about London’s rich history and diverse cultures. He gave us a comprehensive overview of the city, weaving in fascinating stories behind landmarks such as the Hot and Cold Corner, the Cabman shelters, the historical significance of St. Paul’s Cathedral, the site of the Beatles’ rooftop concert, and many more. A highlight of our trip was attending the Advent Christmas Carol service at St. Paul’s Cathedral on November 29, which made for a memorable finale to our London journey.
Thanks Tracey

5.00It was a pretty epic tour. Our guide Terry was super knowledgeable and did a great job teaching us fun facts while also engaging our two children (7 & 10). There were 6 of us in the black car and we were all very comfortable. The four hours flew by. I highly recommend this tour.

5.00I am so happy I chose this tour for my first ever trip to London! Jim was the best guide ever and would not hesitate to book with him again on my next trip. He was on time, very polite, and was super knowledgeable about every point of interest we visited. I learned so much and saw everything I wanted to see during the few hours while on the tour. Wonderful tour and tour guide I’ve ever had!

5.00I cannot say enough incredible things about this tour and, most importantly, our guide, Shawn. From start to finish, the experience was absolutely exceptional. Shawn brought every moment to life with a perfect blend of knowledge, storytelling, humour, and genuine warmth. Their passion for the history, culture, and hidden gems of the area was contagious, turning what could have been a simple outing into an unforgettable adventure. They anticipated every need before we even mentioned it, kept the group engaged and comfortable, and created an atmosphere that felt both personal and wonderfully fun. I left not only with amazing memories and stunning photos, but also with a deeper appreciation for the place we explored. If you’re considering this tour—stop thinking and book it. And if you’re lucky enough to get Shawn prepare for the highlight of your trip. Truly world-class guiding. I would give more than five stars if I could!
A London treasure!

5.00We booked a 4-hour classic London private tour and had the pleasure of meeting our amazing driver, Richard, who took us to all the city highlights and more. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience as we gained incredible insights about places we’ve always wanted to visit. You will be picked up and dropped off at your hotel if it’s located in the central London area and that was so helpful. You can request seeing specific locations and can get out for photos. Richard also took us for a brief restroom and coffee shop break. This was truly a great experience as first-time visitors to London. Don’t hesitate to book this tour and we strongly suggest the 4-hour tour to give yourself plenty of time. Thanks again to Richard!
