A great way to see the city! - Our driver, Paula was spectacular! We had no idea that we would get to witness Trooping the Colour on our short stopover in London. Paula was unable to drive to the hotel because of road closures but she parked and came to find us. She guided us through the crowds and even was kind enough to bring an umbrella for us to use in the rain. What an exciting day! I have to say my favorite spot was Abbey Road and drive past a very famous musician’s home. Thank you for making our day in London a lifetime memory!

Wonderful Tour Experience - We loved our experience with Black Taxi Tour of London. Our guide was Nick, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. He was very knowledgeable of London and its history...we learned so much more than had we toured on our own. He went above and beyond to get us to various sights and was accommodating to our requests and needs. He even took several photos of our group for us at historical sights. I highly recommend Black Taxi Tour to anyone seeking a quality tour.

It was great for 3 of us... - It was great for 3 of us who have been to London a number of times and perfect for the two who have never been there. Stella was the perfect guide for all of us.

Great way to see London in the convenience of a Black Cab with an awesome driver / guide - Terry was amazing! Very friendly, knew his routes and places well and drove
Us around at our pace to see the places we wanted to but also the ones we didn’t even know existed and were very cool to see (eg Shakespeare Theater!). Highly recommended

Great Tour of London - We enjoyed our tour of London! In our short time we were there, we saw all of the big sites and got the iconic Abbey Road picture of us. Our guide also recommended a delicious place for fish and chips for our lunch. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had lots of stories to share! Our only disappointment was that our car wasn’t the London black taxi we were expecting. Although this was a let down, the tour itself was splendid!

Amazing even if you’ve been to London before - Keith was our guide and was outstanding. We’ve been to London a few times before and visited many places and tourist attractions. However, Keith managed to surprise my wife and me by showing us many hidden gems and sharing the story behind each one.
Keith really knows his business and made the evening a delightful experience. It’s also worth mentioning that the trip in his taxi saved us from the annoying task of handling our luggage all over London.
I leave this review confident that it will encourage anyone who loves exploring London and appreciates a good guide to find this experience truly worthwhile.

Would not do London without it! - Brian was very knowledgeable and made sure we hit the spots we wanted. He was on time and catered to the needs of my daughter in a medical boot. All three teenage girls said it wouldn't have been fun at all if we didn't have Brian taking us around and giving us the history behind what we were seeing. A great way to explore the city and get an idea of what you wanted to go back and spend time on. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour - We were just in London on a layover so I wanted to see as much of London as possible in 4 hours. This tour was perfect, as we were able to hit all of the highlights plus a couple of extra requests including 221B Baker St and get back to Paddington in time to make the train back to our flight. Dennis was a wealth of knowledge and very personable, we enjoyed having him as our driver and guide. He gave us some great tips on things to do the next time we’re around also. All in all, I couldn’t be more pleased with the tour. Everything we hoped for.
