We had a fantastic four-hour private tour with Mark in London! Even though we arrived late to the meeting point, he was incredibly patient, kind, and gracious. Mark made sure we saw all the major landmarks and shared insightful history along the way. By pure chance, we even got to see King Charles leaving his residence—an unforgettable moment that Mark helped make even more special. Despite the cold and rainy weather, he kept the experience upbeat and enjoyable. If you’re visiting London, even for a short time, I highly recommend booking a tour with Mark. Wow!

It was better than good! It was amazing!! We had asked to see certain sites and we accomplished that and so much more! We actually want to come back and book another trip! He was so informative and funny. Never a dull moment. Took a bunch of photos of my family for us. This made our vacation! Thank you again for such a lovely and amazing day!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Black Cab excursion seeing London! Our driver Sean was an encyclopedia of information about the London and the British Isles! We’ll always cherish these memories! A must do if it’s a first visit to London!

Landed with the family in London and first thing wanted was a tour of London to get a better understanding of where and when I should visit other attractions in town. Johnny was our tour guide, who has an extensive background not only of London, but driving as a former black cab driver. We arrived early and Johnny was there early as well and started off ahead of schedule. He found out about us, what we knew of the London and it's history and out own interests. He really made an effort to get our two kids engaged. He was upbeat and knowledgeable about all the sites, and because of his driving was able to get us parking spots I would never image a can could fit. He visited the main sites, and then told us options for other tours we might be interested at the sites. These were not his or the companies tour. Not self promotion. We had a luggage issue, which he made some calls to solve and then get us a reservation at a restaurant we were seeking for after the tour. The time flew by, we left talking over dinner about all the facts he gave us and then making some other tour options from his advice. Glad we had done this tour on our first day and had Johnny as our guide.

Truly worth the money. If you only have a day in London before going on a cruise the next day and want to see as many of the main sites as possible, this is the best way to do it. Paul was amazing and brought us to all the main sites and told us the history song the way and went deeper at each stop. We got G8T photos and with one of our party using a rollator and/or cane, this made the walking on uneven cobblestone less strenuous. We were even able to get a guard to take a picture. He showed up promptly at our hotel, so no getting lost finding him at a meeting place, and he helped us meet up with the rest of our party at the end. We truly cannot thank him enough. While for one of us, I had been many times to London and truly enjoyed it. The other, this was the first time. Highly recommend this private tour with Paul. You won't go wrong.
