Great way to see the city highlights at night! Stops include places you would expect, like Big Ben and Tower Bridge, but also some spots you may have missed during the day including the City of London Corporation building! A must include on your next London trip.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thanks for the 5-star review. It’s always rewarding to hear that we did a great job and that you enjoyed seeing London’s highlights at night.

Fabulous 4 hours... Treated to several little known "secrets" and great visas of iconic sights. So much more than merely driving the city. Stories, history, went out of his way to get us up close to places. We had rain, as one so often does in London, but it didn't dampen the evening!
We highly recommend you too spend an evening exploring with Yiannis
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you had such a great evening with Yiannis — he really does love sharing those hidden corners and stories that make London so special.
And yes, a little rain never stops a true London adventure! ☔ We’re only a small business, so feedback like yours really means a lot to us. Thank you for recommending us and for spending part of your trip exploring London with us.

Yiannis was a great tour guide and incredibly knowledgeable of the city. We stopped at a lot of varying locations and a cool way to see the city at night.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Hey John,
So glad we could fix you up with Yiannis after he was recommended by a friend and it looks like it was a great night too! Thanks for choosing Visit London Taxi Tours.
Liz_L, Sep 2024
Yannis our guide was AMAZING! Very flexible when our flight was delayed and really showed us London proper, in a very short 16 hour layover. Very polite and informative! This is definitely a must do!
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for the 'must do' recommendation. We do love a layover tour and the tenacity and stamina of our guests who plough through to make the very best of the time they have. You are amazing! Thanks for making sure you got to see London, and with us. 😊
Steven_M, Sep 2024
We had such a fantastic time with Rickey. He got to know us and used our feedback to plan our tour accordingly to what we really wanted. Grateful for accommodations made given we had a later flight. This was a layover tour for us and I’m beyond thrilled that we did it
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Ricky is a great guide and demonstrated how dynamic a taxi tour can be, listen to our clients then deliver on the tour! Amazing! Thanks so much for choosing us at Visit London Taxi Tours.
Anna_H, Jun 2024
Great tour of London on a time crunch. Riding around in a classic black cab was a lot of fun. Alan was very knowledgeable and accommodating with our requests. We highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Hey Anna,
Very glad to hear you guys had a good time. Alan is a great guide. Thank you for recommending us. 😊
Tina_M, Jun 2024
Alan was a wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide! We had a blast and got to see a lot without having to worry about transportation. We only had a day before moving on to our next destination so if you want to see a lot in a little time, I highly recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you Tina, we are so glad you had a great time. I have a great photo of you both at Tower Bridge, if you don't have it, contact me at Cheryl@visitlondontaxitours.com soi can get it over to you. :)

Alan saved our entire vacation! My significant other and I spent several days in another Country (that ended up being a very unfavorable experience) and only had one night in London before our last flight back home at noon the next day. We originally scheduled our tour to begin at 7pm, but unfortunately our flight was delayed, we experienced difficulty finding our hotel, traffic was horrendous, etc. I messaged Alan to inform him of our delay and apologized for the inconvenience. I did not ask to reschedule to a later time as I respect that he has planned his evening around our originally scheduled time, but to my surprise he offered to push the time back and reassured me not to worry or stress. I was absolutely overjoyed and grateful! We met him at the later time and had a BLAST learning about London as well as taking photos to remember the precious memories we were making. He knows all the perfect photo spots and is just wonderful to converse with. We couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience. We can’t wait to go back and book another tour with Alan :)
Response from Host, Mar 2024

Wonderful tour at night in a great car with an amazing tour guide. I recommend this to anyone wanting to get in the sights of London at night. No traffic. Less people. Such a great time. The guide was super sweet and funny. Book this!! I will be booking it again with my kids just longer time and probably all day.

Gavin was one of the best tour guides my sister and I have ever had. He was so knowledgeable about the history of London. Gavin went out of his way to make London by night special for us. He was so friendly and funny. We were never bored! Now we have little known fun facts to impress our family with when we return home. He was also able to provide us with some great recommendations for activities to do while we’re here in London and restaurants to check out. If you’re looking for a way to enjoy the magic of London, you have to go with Gavin’s tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thank you very much for the lovely review. I am sure Gavin will be very pleased to hear such positive feedback. We do love our London by Night tour, such a wonderful way to spend an evening. And lastly - thank you for choosing Visit London Taxi Tours to see London at Night.
Maria_E, May 2022
The London by night private tour was very pleasant. We had the opportunity to see interesting parts of London. Our driver Alan was very knowledgeable and seemed to enjoy his job alot which made us enjoy the tour even more. We even went through a few small streets with interesting architecture and building colors. The part were we visited the region of London where Jack the Ripper used to hunt his victims gave us chills. Would definitely recommend it to any friend visiting London.
Response from Host, May 2022
You guys must have been flying about to fit in some East london - how fantastic. Great picture too of you guys by Albert Bridge - beautiful photo. Thanks for the feedback.
Amy_S, Jul 2018
My husband and I so much enjoyed Alan's expertise as he drove us at night in the taxi observing iconic sites of London. Alan was very knowledgeable and personal and very professional. His management Cheryl was extremely helpful as they were willing to pick us up personally at our hotel. Would highly recommend this tour especially for first time visitors to London to capture the city's beauty and history in a short amount of time.
Response from Host, May 2019
