Best Guide/Tour EVER!

Bryan_R, Mar 2026
Paul 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.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for the amazing review. I really appreciate it. Kindest regards, Paul Williams

Solo travelers, look no further!

Karen_H, Feb 2026
Wow! 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!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for the fantastic review Karen. It was a pleasure showing you the sites and secrets of London! Kindest regards, Paul Williams

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars — An Unforgettable Day in London!

Anjenette_B, Oct 2025
We 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! 🇬🇧✨

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you Angie, It was a pleasure spending the day with you all. Kindest regards, Paul Williams

Best tour EVER!!

Maria_D, Jan 2025
We 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!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Hi Maria, Thank you ever so much for the stellar feedback. It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with you and your wonderful family. Kindest regards, Paul Williams

Amazing Tour of London

Karen_T, Jul 2023
Our taxi sightseeing tour was amazing! This tour is so convenient with hotel pickup. Our driver, Keith, artived promptly on time, was extremely knowledgeable about the city, and took us to many places that we would have never found on our own in London. The taxi was impeccably clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend this tour!

What a fantastic day we had with Paul touring and exploring London! This is the perfect way to see London in a day. The day was spectacular due to Paul’s attention to detail and effortless ability to guide us about the city from one amazing location to the next! He tailored the day to ensure we visited all of the historic sites we hoped to see. My family and I highly recommend the tour and Paul as your guide!

This was such an incredible trip! This was our first time in London and Paul Williams was absolutely amazing. He was so kind and was very informative. Each place we went to had an amazing story and Paul was so great at explaining all of it. Would absolutely recommend to anyone going to London to book this experience with Paul.

MUST

Melaine_M, Mar 2023
Absolutely flawless from start to finish! Paul was wonderful and patient with my two girls (12 & 9). My oldest has a physical disability which makes walking long distances a challenge. Paul was sensitive to her issues and got us front and center to all the premium spots. A real gem and overall fantastic experience!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Only way to do London in ONE day!

Bryan_M, Sep 2022
Our driver, Paul, was exceptional! He fulfilled our wish list AND added many other fun stops as well. He went over and above our expectations... even going as far as to call me on the phone so I could actually talk in the iconic red phone booth by Kensington Palace. He made our day in London the best day ever! Would highly recommend!

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you, Bryan. I enjoyed your company and glad I could exceed your expectations.

A great Beatles tour.

Awesome kick start to our London adventure.

Murray_P, Apr 2022
Paul warmly greeted us at our hotel. He quickly adjusted our schedule to accommodate an unusual traffic problem in the area. We found ourselves positioned perfectly for a view of the changing of the guards! We really enjoyed his personalization of the local businesses etc throughout the day. Paul was very attuned to our needs and willingly adjusted / offered to make any changes we wanted. We found this an excellent preview to our stay in London.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you Murray. It was lovely meeting yourself and Liz. Kind regards Paul Williams

A very pleasant experience, thanks to Paul although our visit to London was very short he managed to show us all the famous landmarks and beyond A truly memorable experience Thank you Paul

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Thank you Sylvan. It was lovely to meet yourself and your wonderful family. I’m glad Liverpool won as well on Sunday and I hope you enjoyed the game. Kind regards Paul Williams

Great ride and great guide!

Steven_H, Oct 2021
What a wonderful day with a very friendly and personable tour guide. Paul had a perfectly organized tour at our own pace to see all the best sights in London and a few secret ones I doubt would be included on other tours. The whole tour was in an imaculately kept roomy historical black London cab. Paul also kept us entertained and amused with all his historical and sometimes funny facts about word and phrase origins we use in the English language but never knew where they came from. And we fact-checked the wildest or funniest ones and he was always spot on! This tour was definitely worth every penny and quite enjoyable.

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Thank you so much for the review Steven. It was a pleasure meeting you both and sharing the sites and hidden secrets of London. Kind regards Paul Williams

Wonderful Personal Tour

Cheryl_S, Jan 2020
My teenage son and I had a wonderful day with Paul. He knows his way around London and was very fun and informative. Paul made an effort to show us sites we were interested in, London highlights and hidden gems. I left my charger in his cab and he brought it back to the hotel and left it at the front desk (thanks). I would highly recommend this tour!

Paul was absolutely fabulous, he thought of everything (including umbrellas), the timing for Changing of the Guard was impeccable! In fact, the whole day was timed beautifully, we got great value out of the personalised approach and saw a great deal more than we could have hoped for! Thank you Paul, we will be back!
