Great tour. We got to see everything we wanted to in a very timely manner. Very enjoyable our guide was fabulous.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so glad you were able to see everything on your list while still having a relaxed and enjoyable experience. It’s wonderful to hear your guide made the day even more special. Thank you for choosing us!
This is a very comfortable and fun way to see London. Jon is an extremely personable and knowledgeable guide (and a great taxi driver). He showed us all the sites you expect like Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's, etc. but also took us to local shops and places most tourists would never find. Our day with Jon was the highlight of our London visit.
Response from Host, Sep 2026

It sounds like he gave you the perfect mix of iconic sights and hidden local gems, all while making the day comfortable and fun. We’ll be sure to share your wonderful feedback with Jon!
Private London tour was excellent. Tour guide Julie was great and a knowledgeable, informative guide. All enjoyed the day. Would recommend her.

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear Gary went above and beyond to make your day in London so special. We’ll be sure to share your wonderful feedback with him. Thank you for the recommendation!
Very comprehensive and a great tour/overview of the sites of the city. Stella was a wonderful tour guide. We took this tour the day we arrived and allowed us firm up the plans for our time in London. Stella was flexible and accommodating which made the tour even better!
Tracey was great! She showed us all the architecture and told us the history of the buildings! She showed us Abbey road studios; and had lunch at a pub! I would highly recommend her.
We had an absolutely wonderful 6-hour tour of London with JP and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable and informative way to see the city!
JP took us to so many of London’s iconic landmarks, including Westminster Abbey, London Bridge, the Tower of London, Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), the Houses of Parliament, and many more. We were able to see and experience so much in just one day, without feeling rushed.
What really made the tour special was JP’s incredible knowledge of London’s history. He shared fascinating stories, historical facts, and interesting details about each place we visited, bringing the city’s history to life. You could truly tell that he loves London and takes pride in sharing its history with visitors.
JP was also professional, friendly, accommodating, and a pleasure to spend the day with. He made sure we were comfortable and that we got to see the sights we wanted while also showing us some wonderful places we might otherwise have missed.
If you’re visiting London and want to see the city with someone who is knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about what he does, we highly recommend Black Cab Tours. Our 6-hour tour was one of the highlights of our London trip, and we would definitely book again!
Make sure to request JP and be ready for a lot of walking!
Our driver Terry was the best. He was courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. He showed us all the sights and more.
We had an incredible experience with Paul as our tour guide in London! He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the city’s history, landmarks, and hidden gems, and he effortlessly wove in fascinating facts throughout the tour, even tailoring stories to conversations that came up along the way. His sense of humor made the experience both engaging and memorable, and his kindness and professionalism were evident from start to finish. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything on our wish list, making us feel like the tour was personalized just for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Paul to anyone visiting London!
Our guide Dave was everything we hoped for. Knowledge and considerate of our needs. What a great day!!
We loved our private city tour of London. We got to see most of the major attractions in one day without having to walk for miles. We had a party of 5 with one person with limited mobility, so this was the perfect tour. Our tour guide, Sean, was knowledge and interesting.
Fantastic! We had a limited amount of time in London, so wanted to see as much as possible. We took the 6 hour tour and more than got our money’s worth! Our tour guide, Terry was amazing, with his knowledge of history and stories! I am a fan of British history and wow, he was a pro! He was extremely polite and energetic! There was never a dull moment. Tour was completely customizable. Highly recommend!
Patrick was our tour guide and he was incredible. This was the best tour we've ever had. He showed us all of the highlights of London and Patrick had many background stories to make it more interesting. We saw Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard as well as going behind the scenes at infamous hotels and bars
Patrick accommodated all our interests and our needs. It was an incredibly personal experience.
It was so good! Gary took to all the places that you should see in London and then places that were not on our radar to see!
Amazing 6 hour tour ! Gary was our driver and he was a 10/10!!! Very knowledgeable and professional! The day was filled with great memories and laughs! Thank you for giving us the best tour day and special shout out to Gary!!!
We love our tour
Learn a lot about London
Tour guide was very professional and also very friendly
We recommend to everybody
Our driver, Ryan was flexible, extremely knowledgeable in the history of England and fun to be with. We had a few must sees but were delighted with places Ryan took us to that we hadn't thought to go. Great tour!
My tour guide Dennis was exceptional. Went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and truly provided a tailored experience. I appreciated his in depth knowledge, friendliness and flexibility with where I wanted to go! Excellent!
Excellent tour of London. Our driver/tour guide was very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour.
Excellent experience. Guide Dave, was very knowledgeable, kind and caring. I have had a stroke and mobility is challenging. He went out of his way to ensure my safety and get our group as close as possible to many places. Could not be more pleased.
Make sure you know what you really want to see, there is not nearly enough time to see everything that is listed in the description and you may end up spending a lot of time somewhere (for us it was next to Parliament) where you might have preferred to move on to another place.
Julie was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, easy to chat with and if we mentioned anything (like Bridgerton house or The Black Dog) she was like let me show you and took us there. It was unusually hot in London today and she was always going out of her way to make sure we had water, air con and that we didn't have to be out walking in the heat. She was a amazing 10 out of 10!
He was very attentive to our needs and abilities.
Terry was very well educated on the history of London and the architecture.
It was the best tour ever!! Jeremy was the best tour guide ever!!! He showed us so much stuff and was so knowledgeable about London that we got to see things we didn’t know existed. If you book Jeremy you will not be disappointed!!
This is a must do! Our guide, Tracey, was phenomenal!! Very fun, extremely knowledgeable and so accommodating! Our tour was beyond our expectations! We could not have asked for a better guide and tour! On a scale from 1-10 I’d give it a 100+!!
Terri was amazing. From before trip communication to the end.
You must use him for your tours in London. He showed us in awesome ways everything we could possibly see in the London.area. His knowledge of even the smallest details was perfect. We had four adults. I am in a wheelchair and he made sure I could see everything. He listened to our wants and adapted. He always found time to help us enjoy the six hour trip. If you are handicapped I highly recommend. If fully able I highly recommend.
I cannot say enough about him. We felt like family and laughed and joked like we were family. If we had more time in London I would book other tours with him!
A MUST do when in London. Our experience was superb due to our tour guide Jeremy. He is a wealth of knowledge and extremely informative. Do not hesitate to book this tour, you will not be disappointed.
Ryan was wonderful! Personable, informative, entertaining, and so very accommodating. Would highly recommend!
Sean was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. He listened to our questions and tailored his tour to our interests. Would absolutely recommend!!!
A wonderful tour if you want to see as much of London as you can in a short visit. Dean our tour guide was great. Very knowledgeable and entertaining
