Bespoke London Black Taxi Tours

Amazing!! I’ve lived in London for over 20yrs and I’ve NEVER seen it like how I’ve seen it during what turned out to be a 10 hour history, music and food filled London experience. Off the beaten path and lesser known but culturally & historically significant locations. Peter was amazing. The tour evolved with our conversations being the primordial soup. I’ll be back for more with Peter, and have a special treat planned for the kids.

The best tour I have ever been on!! Peter was absolutely phenomenal. He catered the tour just for us!! You won’t be disappointed. “You can’t make this stuff up!!”

Best tour I ever had and I have had many private tours! Peter is so knowledgeable about not only London but all historical Aspects of London history and its relevance to the sights. And he put sights with our photos. Amazing. The Mayflower Bar visit which is right next to there the Mayflower launched will Still with me the longest! Thanks Peter!

Our multi-generational group (grandparents, parents, 2 kids, ages 4 and 7) had the most wonderful 2 days in London with Peter, who truly brought the city alive for us and tailored the tour to our eclectic interests - from Harry Potter to the legal system, financial history, American history, music, and more! Peter has a tremendous wealth of knowledge, boundless enthusiasm, and does an excellent job of making the days engaging and educational for all ages. The black cab makes things easy and feels like a real London adventure. We enthusiastically and highly recommend him! Well worth the cost, and good value for the unforgettable experience. Book now!

Thank you so much Peter for everything! The tour was brilliant and perfectly tailored to our interests in British gardens, music and Caribbean history. Peter’s passion and breadth of knowledge spanning centuries is incredible, and he had an answer for every single question! He was thoughtful, took great care of us, and made sure we had a wonderful time. I highly recommend booking with him if you want to experience London in a more authentic way :)

Peter was wonderful. Designed tour on the fly based upon our interests. Far exceeded our expectations. A delightful experience and made a friend along the journey! Highly recommend this device and Peter as your extremely knowledgeable guide!

Incredible day with Peter who knows more about the history of London, the music industry and with his vast knowledge and experience, can tailor your tour to your own tastes and experiences. I've never learned so much in a short time and without the inane monotony of most other tours. He truly is passionate and cares about the details and will take you to places you will never see with another guide. Thank you Peter for such a wonderful day!

Peter has a wealth of knowledge about London history and shares it in a way that is understandable. He asked about my interests and then catered my tour to sites that fascinated me! Wear comfy shoes because you will be on the move seeing all the most wonderful places, many of them off the beaten path and removed from the big crowds. I honestly felt like a boy again while we scampered all over the city... SUCH GOOD FUN!! My 6-hour tour would have easily taken two full days with typical tour agencies. Best money I ever spent!!!

Peter was absolutely incredible! More than worth the money. He showed us what we paid for and MORE! Incredible person and great humor too! 10/10 would recommend. We paid for 4 hours and he easily gave us 5 and a half!

If you're interested in getting a global picture about the connections between all known British Secret Services, Ian Flemming and James Bond, this is a tour you don't dare to miss. Peter's private tour in his black taxi gives you exciting and thrilling insights into a world of real power and global decisions... Wow!

The 7+ hours we spent with Peter were some of the best times ever traveling abroad. His knowledge and passion for all things London is remarkable. He cracked jokes showed us and showed us a great time. I highly recommend working with him. He even brought snacks for our kids!

We had the most amazing tour of London while learning so much history. Peter was so kind and thoughtful of our mobility issues, took such patience and care to make the day smooth for us, all while sharing great stories and taking us to sites we never would’ve imagined we would see . Best tour we have ever taken!

Peter was extremely knowledgeable friendly and had a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wanted to quality tour.

Peter Mulcahy gave my daughter and me the most extraordinary tour of London. To say that he has a vast command of history does not adequately capture what he has to offer. As we explored the City, he described the lives, ideas and events that preceded us, and how those influences may still be felt today. His perspective on English history is refreshing and honest -- he doesn't shy away from the darker bits. He relays it all with passion and wit, and often a glint in his eye. It was a thoroughly delightful and enriching experience. I will recommend Peter to all my friends visiting London.

Peter is amazing. And that's saying something as somewhat of a niche London history nerd who has been on many a taxi tour! I'm completely astounded by his knowledge. He has such an exciting way of connecting facts and telling stories from all sorts of periods and subjects – and that's before I even get onto his brilliant sense of humour. My parents booked this tour for my 25th birthday present and Peter absolutely made my day while also being so attentive to the interests and needs of our whole family! His follow-up Whatsapp links are just one example of how thoughtful he is and passionate for you to not just listen, but understand and share his interest. Thank you Peter, you are brilliant!

Thanks for an amazing day Pete. Your passion and knowledge for history is just impressive. And thanks for tailoring the tour and looking after us and especially the kids. We’ve covered so much in a very short amount of time. Thank you.

Peter Mulcahy based the tour upon our interests and physical effort. It was a great experience. We had just one day in London before our Cruise left from South Hampton the next day and Peter gave us a personalized 6 hour tour we will never forget. It was well worth it and I highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Excellent overview of London. Peter is a fount of knowledge and since he understands that there’s so much to take in, he provides links to every place we saw so that when we are more relaxed and want to go over our trip, we can learn more about the history behind each sight. I’ve never experienced a guide who has been so prepared and has taken the time to provide a wealth of background information! Definitely ask for Peter Mulcahy. You will be happy you did

Peter was outstanding. His knowledge of history was astonishing. He asked us questions before the tour and created a tour specific to our nationalities and likes. Probably the best tour guide we have ever had. Highly recommend Peter. Dave and Sandi from Ohio 😋

Peter jam packed the tour with hidden secret gems that we would never have found on our own, like Walter Raleigh’s tomb! It was an enjoyable way of seeing a lot in a short space of time, perfect for anyone on a day trip who wants to see everything without the hassle of public transport. He also very kindly sent links to everywhere we had been afterwards so we could read up on it. Would recommend 100%! Thanks Peter x

I can’t say enough great things about Peter and this tour. He customized a very special tour for us based on what my teens liked. My daughter is a Swifty and also loves history. It was a perfect tour for her! We took so many photos and Peter took so many great ones. He sent us photos and links to information about what we saw. What an amazing day. Highly recommend!

Peter is amazing and his depth and breadth of knowledge across the history of London and the people who have inhabited London be they in politics, commerce, music, you name it is hard to comprehend. We gave him some areas of interest and he created a bespoke tour specific to what we wanted to see.Peter provided an amazing experience and the best tour that kept the whole family engaged throughout.

We had a special day in st Jo NHS wood and Fitzrovia , Regent’s Park Maida Vale and learned so much about the origins and history of the place we actually live in . Worth every penny !

We went on a tour twice with Mr. Mulcahy, and the experience was amazing. He is very informative and showed our daughter a lot of historic places that many tour guides will not cover. He also took us to the airport and pointed out different important places throughout the trip. He kept us learning the whole time, and as he says, we didn’t waste a minute! If you are coming to London, and you want somebody to guide your journey, he is the man! Punctual, clean cab, funny, water on board, umbrellas, you name it.

Peter has a unique perspective on London. His extensive knowledge is great for tailored tours so whether you’re keen on history, music, the military or some other unique aspect - Peter is your go to guide. We found him very accommodating and full of energy and passion for London. The cab is great for helping you cover significant ground in the allocated time and we had lots of opportunities to jump out and see key sights and take pictures.

Peter was an AMAZING tour guide, truly tailoring our tour to our family and interests. “Off the beaten path” memories that you won’t experience anywhere else! Can’t recommend enough!

We had a wonderful tour with Peter! My daughter and I are Swifties, and Peter did not disappoint. We visited so many places that Taylor frequents when in London and places that inspired her songs. We also visited many places that have a special place in music history. Thanks Peter for an unforgettable day! See you on our next trip to London.

Booked a private Black Taxi tour with Peter Mulcahy. It was excellent!! Peter was very knowledgeable about London history and catered the tour to fit our interests!! I learned many fun and interesting facts. I would definitely book a tour with him again!! Great experience!!

Pete worked with us on a great itinerary! He really listens and makes sure to find fun and unique experiences. He is very knowledgeable and really made things come to life. We had our kids on a trip with us several years ago and that day with Pete was very memorable. We were thrilled to be in London again and excited Pete was available for another tour. We were so grateful we got to spend the day with him again!

We took a 2 hrs walking tour with Peter and it was a blowing mind experience esp because the tour took place around our office, an area we have been walking by every day and have never noticed so many historical spots! It was also fun as he was giving lots of fun facts. And to make sure we dont forget anything he shared all the links afterwards!

This tour was certainly money well spent. My friends and I were guided around London by Peter, who was hands down the best tour guide I've ever met. His knowledge of London was more so impressive as he literally found out our interests only as we got into the cab. His tour was tailor made to our needs, he provided some amazing photo opportunities and send us links related to all the places he's taken us to. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Peter at the helm of the cab. Thanks again Peter.

We had the tour on our first day in London. This was absolutely amazing. I am still reviewing all the sights and information from the Tour. Peter was awesome and knew how to customise the tour just by our personal interest. I really recommend it, life long value.

Excellent tour seeing locations we never would have seen on our own. Learned little known history about the city. Tailored to our specific needs. Highly recommend this tour.

What a wonderful time we had!! Our tour guide, Peter is so full of knowledge and is an excellent tour guide. The day we went so many roads were closed and so we had to change from taxi tour to walking tour. This made it even better, we were able to see so much more of London this way. I’m sure any other guide would have either cancelled the tour or abridged it. Peter gave a great history and showed us parts of London I would never have known, which made the all the more memorable. He was also so thoughtful and took amazing photos of the family. I highly recommend Your London Cabbie with Peter as a guide!

Hands down the best tour guide ever. Peter was extremely knowledgeable, very passionate and so detailed. It was great! We walked so much which I appreciated, not just driving around. He made sure we got great pics of our team. Sent follow up links detailing all he shared. Peter even asked about our family origins in the beginning and called them out if they related to what he was sharing. Highly recommend him!

The tour was nothing short of extraordinary! Peter led us through the hidden gems and lesser-known corners of the city providing a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and culture that might have gone unnoticed otherwise. Thank you Peter!

Loved our day with Peter! Saw so much of london’s history and beauty in one day but never felt rushed. He’s the best! Can adjust the tour to whatever your interests are—royalty, churches, Harry Potter, music, etc, etc. my mom is 84 years old and he was very kind to her—she enjoyed seeing so much of the city.

An outstanding day custom-tailored to our family's interests from history to tennis to iconic buildings. As a finance profesional we walked through The City and stepped through the development of markets and money in more detail than Niall Ferguson's 'The Ascent of Money' ever could! Fun, educational and engaging for our entire family. Highly recommend.

Our personal guide, Peter, was a walking encyclopedia of not only European history but also American history as it relates to how our humble beginnings evolved. He understood unlimited facts on music, both classical and contemporary. There was not a building he wasn’t familiar with or the century it was constructed. There was not a historical figure he didn’t have extensive information about. This kind of knowledge takes YEARS to acquire. As the day progressed, the more we conversed, the more he was able to “laser focus”on sights we might enjoy. We also laughed a lot, always good for the soul no matter what part of the world you’re from. We were in awe of his knowledge, his passion for his craft, his enthusiasm and the phenomenal execution of his driving skills!!! This is your man!!! He truly knows London like the back of his hand!!

Peter is amazing and has a mind blowing knowledge of London where he is also capable of connecting places and history with people’s background and personal interests. In my case he quickly connected my original place of birth in the South of Italy to the battle of Maida In 1806 which is also the name of a neighbourhood very close to where I live in London. I strongly recommend to hire Peter, you will hear things that very few people know !!

The trip was amazing. We are Londoners ourselves and yet he showed us insights to London that we were not aware of. Peter is a walking encyclopedia with an extraordinary ability to connect historical events with places in London. Everyone on the trip was delighted. This trip has reawakened our interest in London and we cannot wait to do more.

This is a must-do if you are visiting London and want to have a sense of how the city links up to your past or interests. Peter has an encyclopaedic knowledge and the memory of an elephant. I have lived in London for most of my life and learnt more in those few hours with him (including about Indian and colonial history) than I had in my previous 20 years living here. He is also so well enmeshed in various communities given all his work in youth boxing. Absolute terrific guy, cannot recommend highly enough.

My family and I did a music tour with Peter and he was excellent! He is very personable and genuinely cares about getting to know you so that he can make the tour as specific to your interests as possible. He is also very knowledgeable about London, which allows him to show you places most people might not know about or get to see. His tour was both educational and fun, and he also followed up with pictures and more information about the sites we visited after it was over.

Amazing knowledge and super educational trip around London. Highly recommend!!! It’s a must. A tour with a history lesson on any countries history connected to UK

Peter’s knowledge of London streets and the history tied to every corner of the city is second to none. He did a bespoke London-Lagos (UK-Nigeria) history tour and I was impressed with the depth and variety of the sights. Truly a gem! Would highly recommend this old chap. Too marks!

What a great tour! Truly priceless. Book this guide, you will not regret.we hadn’t slept the night before and I was worried about being bored. Guide was very engaging and not a dull moment

Pete is like a living history book! I found him extremely knowledgable about the history of London, and he is really fun to listen.

Amazing personalized tour. Peter was able accommodate all our request in a limited time. Fantastic experience!

Peter was absolutely AMAZING. My grandma and I first started with a 4 hour tour of London. While I was excited, I didn’t think a tour of London would be my idea of fun. I was so wrong. Peter goes out of his way to tailor EVERY tour to your specific interests. I mentioned just one thing about a song I liked and from that we spent the day looking at famous musical venues etc, secluded ones as well and ones other ordinary tour guides would never even think of. We had such a good time that we booked Peter again for a full day a couple of days later. Knowing we were Australian, we discovered so many historical significant places that shaped Australia. I mentioned that I love Harry Potter and instantly we were taken to and shown around the film sites from the sets. I can’t recommend him enough. There is a MASSIVE difference between any ordinary tour guide that shows you around the same touristy sites for money and Pete who clearly loves his job and goes out of his way to make each and every experience individual and special. I will 100% be booking again when I make it to London again :) Thanks Peter!!!
