Butch exceeded our expectations! His knowledge of the area was simply impressive! He was also very kind and patient with our 14 month old baby. We would definitely recommend this experience to our family and friends. Five stars!
Butch gave us such an unexpected and fantastic trip all at once!! He shared about his years growing up near the Tower of London , as we walked around the grounds, which was totally amazing ❤️ We visited Abbey Road and walked across the same strip as the Beatles did so many years ago. He showed us so many things that we never expected to see or learn about. We really got an Attt tour with Butch and we highly recommend people to do the same!! Book at least 4 hours to get a taste of this beautiful city!!!
Jeff was a great guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the city’s history and gave us a great overview. We hit every major site and we even got to go to the hat store that made the 007 hat! Was a great experience.
The entire experience was terrific. Our driver took us all over the city of London to the highlight spots and then some. Our driver was extremely safe and courteous.
Lee was extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable! He was an excellent guide and we all thoroughly enjoy our time with him.
Great way to see the top sights in London. Our guide, Jeff tailored the experience when we told him we were Harry Potter fans. He kindly took pictures of us when asked and was genuinely friendly.
Rod is an excellent guide, both knowledgeable and courteous (one of us asks a lot of questions). This is my 3rd trip to London I learned a few new things on this tour. My traveling companions appreciated the hotel pickup and drop-off (2 of us have knee/mobility issues).
Fantastic tour. He catered to our requests and gave us great insight to London. Would highly recommend him again.
We actually didn't know that Greg would talk with us first...and plan our tour on the fly. We had been here for several days already and we didn't want an "on your right is the"..type of tour. He took us to some off track type places...it was amazing. So much fun! It was cold...rainy...windy which actually invigorating. I wanted my nephew to really see London. Greg gave us that in spades.
Our driver Ralton was amazing. He was so knowledgeable of the history of country while on the tour. I would highly recommend him for your private tour
Our driver’s name was Clifford! He kept in touch with me through the day to make sure with flying everything was going correctly. We actually was early checking in to our room and was able to start the 4 hour tour earlier. He was very knowledgeable with the history of London and we really enjoyed listening to what all he to say about the different sights we saw! He asked me before thru texted what we wanted to see and I told him whatever he believes we need to see because this is the 1st time here and might never make it back. This is the second time I have used Viator and would higher recommend them. Both times I have used them the driver would pleasant and knowledgeable!
I believe the Black Cab tour with Richard was the perfect way to begin our trip in London! He was prompt and picked us up at our lodging. He 100% made the tour easy and allowed us to see the fabulous London landmarks with history that he brought to life. He showed us well known treasures and lesser known places with stories and legends that made the tour fun, exciting and left us wanting more. We couldn't believe how quickly the tour ended.
We went on a Saturday morning when traffic was lighter which allowed us into areas like Buckingham Palace area, St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey area, the Tower of London, the Tower Bridge without fighting any crowds. He also showed us areas with remnants of the bombings of WWII, places where the Royals acquire their clothes, and part of the wall the Romans built around the city before 200 AD!!!!
He was friendly and happy to ensure that we enjoyed our tour and let us know that we could contact him if we had questions later.
This was the perfect way to get an understanding of the lay out of the city of London and really have an excitement for landmarks, museums and tours we had scheduled later in the week.
I highly recommend this tour especially with our guide Richard.
Lee was wonderful! Well versed in historic and current events. A true local!
I would suggest booking a morning tour as traffic is less than afternoon.
You can visit the Roman ruins near St Paul’s Cathedral after the tour.
Jim is outstanding! Very informed , personable and knows his way around. I highly recommend him for a day or half day tour. We booked four hours and got in more than you can imagine without feeling rushed. Book this guy. You won't regret it.
We absolutely loved our tour! We got to see everything and learned so much history about London. Our tour guide was Clifford. He was so much fun, so knowledgeable and we couldn’t have asked for anything better!
Excellent tour and tour guide. Was able to see all the popular spots London had to offer. Would highly recommend!
Reuben was amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. We had a mobility scooter and he was very accommodating and helpful. By the end of the tour he felt like family. Go birds!🦅
Really enjoyed the tour. Operator was very knowledgeable. Would Definitely recommend to anyone visiting London.
We had an amazing day! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Jim. His knowledge was impressive as well as his navigation skills! He knows that city like the back of his hand! We got to see all the highlights and loved every minute of the long, rich history. Everywhere you look, there’s something amazing to see! Jim knew amazing details he shared with us. Highly recommend!!
Greg was great - he knew all the history of the area, as well as where to find the hidden gems that the average tourist doesn't get to see. We enjoyed the conversation, the tour, and the other places he suggested we try! Well worth it!
Very good experience. Could see a lot of London in a very limited time. Our driver/guide has a very good knowledge about the history of London, we got exposed to it.
What a lovely and memorable experience of London with Mathew! We had booked a tour for family who were here from Italy and USA, all with different health and mobility issues so booking a black cab tour made sense. What really made this special was our tour guide Mathew. He was extremely patient, so knowledgeable and took us to all the landmark spots. He knew the best spots to take our pictures too. I would definitely recommend and also recommend Mathew and viewing the sites in a black cab is genius.
This tour was so amazing. Our guide Greg was so knowledgeable and catered the tour to our specific interests. We learned a lot about London culture and were able to take some awesome photos. Would 100% recommend
The tour was wonderful and covered all areas mentioned in the brochure. The driver Paul, was exceptional. He was polite, helpful, informative, knowledgeable, and in addition, he took us thru the “Batcave” which was an experience in itself. Top shelve from start to finish.
This private car tour was 1000% worth it. Lee was our driver and he did an amazing job taking us to all the big sites plus other places we didn’t think or know about. You can have him give a general tour or add custom locations tailored to your interest. He even included bonus Harry Potter sites from the movie after we told him our daughter was a big Harry Potter fan. The number of sites and monuments we were able to see in four hrs would not have been possible on our own. He also added so much context and stories behind each place we stopped that made the experience worth it. He knew the best location and angles for pictures. I would recommend a morning tour to beat all the London traffic and see as much as possible. If it fits your budget this tour is absolutely worth it
Since we had a group of 15 travelers, we booked 3 cars. The drivers were Rod, Ruben, and Richard. They were excellent tour guides, taking us to the sites we wanted to visit. They gave us background of rich England history and took us to spots where we could get take good photos. They pick you up and return to your hotel. Highly recommended!
From first greeting, “Hello,” to last greeting, “Goodbye,” a truly enjoyable tour of London. All sights were explained to us in wonderful stories, all true!
Great experience. So much nicer than going on a large tour bus with a fixed itinerary. With Nicky, our driver, we customized our experience (sites, stops, duration). Nicky was humorous, flexible with our agenda, thorough answering our questions, and thoughtful with his suggestions.
Dave was a fabulous driver and tour guide! He took us to out of the way landmarks and told us the history of each. He was friendly, informative and interesting!
Nicki was fantastic! He gave us a lot of insight into British history that we would have not gotten with a typical tour. Highly recommend Nick and his Black Cab tour!
