This was so fun! Ollie was so knowledgeable and fun to talk with! He was excellent at remembering our names and information! We got lots of pictures and learned so much! My suggestion would be to do it earlier in your visit because he is a wealth of information regarding things to see & do!

John was a great guide, excellent way to see the city with limited time. Saw more in this two hours, than in multiple previous trips to London. Highly recommend!

We had an outstanding experience thanks to our tour guide. As a local, he brought the area to life with deep knowledge, fascinating stories, and insights you simply wouldn’t get from a guidebook. He was friendly, engaging, and always happy to answer questions, sharing personal experiences and local tips that made the tour feel authentic and special. His passion for the place really showed and made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone! Having a guide with true local knowledge made all the difference. Our whole family recommends!

Two hours > multiple trips?! That’s what we love to hear, Michael! So glad John made those nighttime sights shine. There’s just something about London after dark, isn't there? Thanks for the fab review – we’ll be here next time the city calls your name!

Great way to see the sights in London. We loved seeing the city during the evening hours when there were no crowds and minimal traffic. Jim was fantastic and engaging.

We’re so glad to hear you had a fantastic time seeing the sights of London during the evening, it really does offer such a peaceful and unique perspective of the city.

London is Lit!

Michelle_G, Nov 2024
What a fun tour! My husband and I have been to London many times but have seldom embraced nighttime in the city. This city tour takes you to many of London’s most famous monuments. It is beautiful seeing London uplit at night. Nick was our tour guide. Our first impression is that his taxi was impeccable…nary a speck of dust. Next, Nick is not only an impressive driver but more importantly an amazing guide. He is a kind, professional and a wealth of knowledge.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Dear Michelle, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We're so glad to hear that you and your husband enjoyed the tour. London at night really does have a magical charm, doesn’t it? It's great to know that Nick made such a positive impression with both his immaculate taxi and his wealth of knowledge. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. He’ll be thrilled to hear it. Thanks again for your 5 star review. We hope to welcome you back for another Black Cab Heritage Tour soon! Best wishes.

Jon was a fabulous guide! Loves seeing the London sights while hearing stories. Jon was great at getting to perfect spots for photos. My family appreciated his kindness, knowledge and professionalism! I would certainly recommend this black cab night tour!

Great way to begin your London visit!

Our driver, Terry, was great! He confirmed pickup time and place the day before our scheduled tour and was very prompt. The tour was a lot of fun and Terry was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. He took us to so many iconic landmarks and knew where to stop so that we could get beautiful photos. Taking the tour our first night in London was a great introduction to a beautiful city! I highly recommend!!!

Great guide. Great tour.
