Private Black Cab Tour - Cotswolds - Our family scheduled a Private Black Cab Tour with Paul and spent the day travelling around the Cotswolds. Amazing day! Paul knew the area well and made sure that we had a great time. He also chose a fantastic lunch spot and we even drove to the Windsor Castle on the way back to our hotel since we had not visited that landmark yet. He was polite and we had great conversation! Highly recommend this tour with Paul!

Not to be missed! Cotswolds day trip and our amazing driver was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip to England! - Paul welcomed us with enthusiasm just as soon as he greeted us at pick up. He was not only prompt, courteous, and on point with his knowledge of history but he was exceptionally witty and entertaining! He guided us through the Cotswolds with ease, while sharing so many details of its history along with little interesting stories about Cotswold life. We then went on to Oxford where he swept through teaching us so much in his brilliant and charming manner! Highly recommend Paul! He was a complete JOY! Highlight of our trip to England!

Back in time - We were picked up right in front of our central London hotel. Will, our driver was very knowledgeable of the history of the entire tour of our 2 stops in the Cotswolds and Oxford. He did a great job driving us there and back and tried to get as much into the full day as he could. Traffic getting there and back is so time consuming was only drawback but not his or this excursion fault at all. We highly recommend this tour if you want to see some of the earliest eras of England

London Black Cab Tours - Just fabulous. Worth every penny. - Paul and team from London Black cab tours were Fabulous. We used Black Cab tours everyday of our trip. Saved so much time versus waiting for the on-off trolley. The drivers new the best spots for pictures, when to be at certain location and when not to.be there. They new special spots that the tour buses could not go. They had intimate knowledge of every road and neighborhood. They essentially became friends. They were so brilliant. I highly recommend using them. We were visiting from the states but felt right at home quickly. They won't disappoint, We went October 2019
