Our driver Alan was fabulous. He had so many interesting facts and stories. He was very flexible and considered our personal interest when taking us around London. We really enjoyed seeing Harrods lit up at night. A beautiful site!!! Alan took the time to take pictures of our group. Anyone with mobility issues can go on this tour. The whole experience was just a fun adventure. Thank you Alan!!!!

At the heart of London, Trafalgar Square. The square's famous landmarks, like Nelson's Column and the National Gallery, come alive with brilliant illumination, offering a dramatic backdrop for a memorable start. Feel free to jump out for a closer look or a photo opportunity. Pass without stopping or jump out for a closer look or photo opportunity REMEMBER The places listed are suggestions, not a fixed itinerary. You can choose where you'd like to stop for photos, spend a little time enjoying the views or simply drive past. Your expert London taxi tour guide will shape the route around your interests, the time available and traffic on the day.
Glide by Buckingham Palace, an icon of British royalty. The palace's façade is elegantly lit at night, enhancing its grandeur. The Victoria Memorial shines brightly, a regal sight in the evening.
View the historic Westminster Abbey, a site of royal significance. Its gothic architecture becomes even more striking under the soft evening light, creating a serene atmosphere. Pass without stopping or jump out for a closer look or photo opportunity
Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament look fantastic lit up at night, right beside the River Thames. Much of the Palace of Westminster was rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1834, and its distinctive Gothic architecture is one of London's most recognisable sights. It's particularly impressive after dark, when the lights pick out the details of the building and its famous clock tower.
See the London Eye lit up at night, with its changing colours reflecting on the River Thames. It's a great spot for photos, especially with the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben nearby.
Tower Bridge looks fantastic lit up at night, especially with the lights reflecting on the River Thames. It's one of London's best spots for an evening photo.
Explore the historic Tower of London, an iconic landmark with a rich history. At night, the ancient stones are beautifully lit, providing a glimpse into centuries of history. Pass without stopping or jump out for a closer look or photo opportunity
St Paul's Cathedral is one of London's most recognisable landmarks, with its impressive dome and beautiful architecture. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and built after the Great Fire of London in 1666, it has been part of the city's skyline for over 300 years. It's particularly impressive when lit up at night.
Battersea Power Station, a symbol of London's industrial heritage now transformed into a vibrant cultural hub. Its unique architecture is even more striking when illuminated at night.

Fantastic experience. Alan was easy to communicate with especially for us to decide on a pickup point since we were not staying in the city and on foot touring before we met him. This was not our first trip to London but Alan got us all around and showed us some interesting spots we have never seen before. He was friendly and informative. He stopped at the iconic spots and jumped out and he took pictures for us too. It was a great evening and we felt like we were with a local friend driving us around the city giving an insider tour! I would definitely book this again.
Great way to see the city highlights at night! Stops include places you would expect, like Big Ben and Tower Bridge, but also some spots you may have missed during the day including the City of London Corporation building! A must include on your next London trip.
Yiannis was an amazing guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great stories about London. He made the night tour fun and personal, showing us the city’s best off the beaten paths and photo spots with awesome views. We truly enjoyed every moment and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting London. Thank you, Yiannis, for an unforgettable evening!

Fabulous 4 hours... Treated to several little known "secrets" and great visas of iconic sights. So much more than merely driving the city. Stories, history, went out of his way to get us up close to places. We had rain, as one so often does in London, but it didn't dampen the evening! We highly recommend you too spend an evening exploring with Yiannis
ABSOLUTELY FAN-TAS-TIC!!! Ollie was AMAZING!!! We did an overnight tour of London and of course the city itself is beautiful but Ollie knows EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING!! We felt safe the entire time. Was a great 4 hour tour!!
Alan gave us a fantastic tour of London and left us with some of our favorite pictures from the trip. He added to our travel wishlist and has given us numerous places to explore the next time we come to London. So glad we took the night tour! Would love to try the Harry Potter themed tour next time.
Alan was our guide he was great at explaining the locations history and pulling over to allow us to take pictures and selfies. Best way to view London at night. Would highly recommend. Great value
Yiannis was a great tour guide and incredibly knowledgeable of the city. We stopped at a lot of varying locations and a cool way to see the city at night.
It was A+ Service tour. I definitely recommend this trip to London. Driver was excellent and takes you to where you can take best picture spot.
Our taxi tour guide Allan did a great job hitting a lot of the top London sights. We saw London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Parliament, Water Tower Building, and Buckingham Palace. We did the night tour, which was perfect for our layover. Not as much traffic out. Thanks, Allan! We had a great time!
Yannis our guide was AMAZING! Very flexible when our flight was delayed and really showed us London proper, in a very short 16 hour layover. Very polite and informative! This is definitely a must do!
We had such a fantastic time with Rickey. He got to know us and used our feedback to plan our tour accordingly to what we really wanted. Grateful for accommodations made given we had a later flight. This was a layover tour for us and I’m beyond thrilled that we did it
Great tour of London on a time crunch. Riding around in a classic black cab was a lot of fun. Alan was very knowledgeable and accommodating with our requests. We highly recommend this tour.
Alan was a wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide! We had a blast and got to see a lot without having to worry about transportation. We only had a day before moving on to our next destination so if you want to see a lot in a little time, I highly recommend this tour!
Alan saved our entire vacation! My significant other and I spent several days in another Country (that ended up being a very unfavorable experience) and only had one night in London before our last flight back home at noon the next day. We originally scheduled our tour to begin at 7pm, but unfortunately our flight was delayed, we experienced difficulty finding our hotel, traffic was horrendous, etc. I messaged Alan to inform him of our delay and apologized for the inconvenience. I did not ask to reschedule to a later time as I respect that he has planned his evening around our originally scheduled time, but to my surprise he offered to push the time back and reassured me not to worry or stress. I was absolutely overjoyed and grateful! We met him at the later time and had a BLAST learning about London as well as taking photos to remember the precious memories we were making. He knows all the perfect photo spots and is just wonderful to converse with. We couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience. We can’t wait to go back and book another tour with Alan :)
The Whole Trip Lee was a excellent guide & driver Showed us a lot of the very best in lights. Was prompt , & informative
Ricky took us on a fabulous Christmas Lights Tour of London. He not only took us to the best places, he provided us with a little London history as well. Very fun, clever and considerate. Even stopped to get us some food on our way back to the hotel.
Love the tour! It was a great combination of seeing the Christmas lights, visiting a Christmas market, and touring the city.
High point of an amazing trip overall!! Cheryl was great setting everything up, and our driver Yiannis was amazing too!! He really brought London to life for us and the see through roof in the cab made going beneath the lights so cool. :)
Anthony was an exceptional tour guide. He provided great communication, tailored the tour to our preferences and was very informative. He even took photos of our group for us. The tour was wonderful and our family loved it.
The best way to see the lights. Lee was a terrific guide, who punctuated the tour with his extensive knowledge of London's history.
We booked a 3 hour Christmas Lights Taxi Tour. Barry our driver was fantastic and very knowledgeable. He even went out of his way to collect and drop off me and my family off close to where we live. We all had a great time as Barry expertly navigated the busy London streets. The lights were fantastic and there’s so many to see! Would highly recommend this tour.
We had a fabulous Christmas Lights viewing experience with Paul our driver with London Taxi tours! Despite the hordes of visitors that descended on London to view the holiday decorations, Paul navigated through the crowds with his expert touch. His skills were amazing! We stopped at all the hot spots and felt like celebrities as we exited his cab to snap some pictures before moving on. His patience and good nature were only surpassed by the depth of his knowledge about London that he shared with us. Don’t fight the crowds - let Paul be your guide!
Gary was fantastic. Knowledgeable, friendly, he made everyone feel so welcome. He knew all the great locations. Let us get out to take photos and enjoy a close up experience. I highly recommend.
We had a Great time and seen all the lights and got little London history bits of some interesting info! Definitely would recommend. Yannis was very friendly and took pics of us with the lights so no selfie stick needed!
Ian was a fabulous guide. He took us to so many spots in London to see the lights and photo opportunities. Great way to get in the Christmas spirit!
Fantastic Christmas light tour. Booked and many roads were closed due to a massive demonstration. Alan was very accommodating and let us decide to go the next night when we wouldn't be impacted by the closures. His son, Lee, took us. The communication in advance from each of them was perfect. On the night of our tour, Lee took us to see many sights. He avoided traffic areas while still seeing all the great sights. It was a bit of a London tour plus lights tour. He gave us many suggestions for the rest of our stay including ideas on which areas to group together and which were walking distance from our hotel. As lights are going up every day, he explored new areas when he saw new displays on our drive. He stopped at a great hotel for a comfortable bathroom stop and he stopped at many lights to allow us to take pictures. It rained a bit on our tour and it really didn't impact us. In fact he even pulled over to wipe down the outside windows so we would have a better view. Can't imagine a better experience. Highly recommend Lee and his dad Alan.
Our driver Paul was amazing! He made sure we saw the major landmarks, Christmas lights and more. Highly recommend this tour, especially if short on time in London.
We were picked up in a lovely brand new electric cab with panoramic glass roof. The driver was knowledgeable and showed us so much of London by night. We even stopped for hot chocolate en route. Definitely recommend Cheryl and her team, so professional throughout . Thanks again for helping us enjoy London. We can’t wait to come back!
Pros: Car was clean. Pick up at our hotel. Nice driver. Cons: Content not worth the price. We had done the Premier Classic London: Private 4-hour Tour in a Black Cab during the day. We had done it the day before taking this night tour. That day tour was fabulous. You can see my review. So, this night tour ad uses the marketing that London is different at night, and they post some pics at night that look nice, but the reality is that the day tour with the above company was really well run by our driver, and he had detailed information of each site we visited. For this night tour we visited many of the same spots, and the lighting was not really that impressive. It wasn't with $450 that's for sure. Our driver took some photos for us, but he had difficulty getting the right composition and background, so we just ended up taking pics of ourselves. Driver was super nice, and he knew some of the history, but he was just not as informed as the driver we had at the above company. We ended about 15 minutes early, and we just asked to be taken home. I would recommend for sure the 4hour tour with the above company during the day, but skip the night tour. I would give it 1 star, but I'm giving it 2 stars only because the driver was a super nice fellow trying to make a buck. He was essentially retired and filling in for his son.
What an amazing night tour we had. We were picked up at the Gatwick airport by our driver Gavin. He was an amazing tour guide that gave us a wonderful tour of London. He took us to all the places we wanted to go too including a few lessor know spots. The highlight was Abbey Road spot that my daughter ( Abbey ) wanted to stop at. Gavin then took us back to Gatwick after our tour. I would highly recommend Visit London Taxi Tours and ask for Gavin. You can't go wrong.
What a wonderful way to start our trip! From start to finish our guide, Ollie, was a great host. He met us on time at our hotel and quickly learned all 5 of our names and took us to all the famous places and provided just enough information to keep it interesting. We did a bit of walking around and when he learned how much I like history and enjoyed the Churchill War Rooms he took us to a special spot with a bench with figures of Churchill and Roosevelt. He gladly took photos for us and made the evening of our arrival such fun. I would like to mention how professional Cheryl in the office was too. She answered all my questions and kept me informed as my trip got closer. We also had them do our airport to hotel transfer and the Windsor Castle day tour, which were wonderful. Do not hesitate to book with them. They exceeded expectations.
Alan gave us a great night tour of London! We got off a cruise and had to fly out the next day but still wanted to see London. This was the perfect option for that. Alan drove us around and gave us the history of the city and various landmarks. We saw so much more than we would have if we had tried to do it on our own with no rental car. He even acted as our personal photographer at times by taking us to to photographic sites and then offering to take pictures of us all together. Great experience. Highly recommended.
My husband and I were in England for less than 24 hours (many of those hours after 2200). We wanted to make the most of it so we decided on taking the private night taxi tour. Lee, our tour guide, was INCREDIBLE! He knows his way all over the city, including areas non-locals would never know about. He took us to see all sides of attractions! He knows his history, too and gave us a lot of great background on places we visited. Lee really makes the tour YOUR tour! He will customize where you go and what you see based on your likes and dislikes! He can customize based on history, famous places, famous people, royalty, literature, theater, music, architecture, geology, and so much more! We learned a lot. We saw a lot! We had such a great time! If I make it back to England, I will definitely take another taxi tour with Lee! He is literally the best tour guide we've ever had in 60+ years!
Fantastic tourguide Gaz. Very personalized tour. You get out of this what you want. If you want great places for photos and learn history this is your tour. Loved it.
We had a great view of the city with Paul. He gave us so much info on London and surroundings. Took us everywhere, took pictures , stopped several times to give us input. Amazing night. Thank you
The guide was very accommodating and we got to see lots of sites. It was a great way to spend a long layover.
We booked this tour for the first night we were in London. It was perfect because you get to have a great overview of everything and decide if you would like to go back. Terry our driver was probably the best tour guide I have ever experienced. He was knowledgeable but also light hearted. Terry was perfect because if we wanted him to take a picture he would but if we wanted just to do our own he didn’t bother us. Terry truly made our experience unforgettable.
Very good would highly reccomend. Very knowledgable driver gavin Payne very friendly and enthusiastic driver who really knows the area and has many intresting facts and can adapt his route to suit us best.
Very happy with these folks. I made an error booking online but they were able to scramble and find a driver for us at the last minute. Alan was terrific - he knew the city like the back of his hand. Traffic was awful the night we went because of the rail strike but he never got irritated. The lights really were amazing - something you definitely need to see if you’re going to London at Christmas.
Booked this as a special Christmas treat for my wife and disabled mother-in-law, who had been house-bound for past 2 years. Excellent personal service from Cheryl who arranged a fantastic taxi tour from Yiannis on Boxing Day- who was a great tour guide and driver. Saw amazing Christmas lights and ship displays as well as some parts of hidden London that we didn't know about - such as the last stables in Central London. Perfect way to see London at night without being jostled by crowds or getting road rage in traffic!
This is a very worthy night out in The Big Smoke,have your own private black cab tour the city Xmas lights and learn historical fact that you just won't know...gonna go back for some more historical base cab tours .. would highly recommend ( Lee are cabbie was a top bloke ) Go on actually have some fun and get some culture...you will be glad you have.....
This tour was easy to book and Cheryl confirmed everything I wanted to query in advance. We were informed who our taxi driver would be and he called 20 mins before our meet time to tell us where he would be. Once on our way we sat back and enjoyed the lights while having a laugh and a glass of Prosecco !! We made several stops for photos and had a very enjoyable 3 hours . The taxi had a glass roof which was brilliant . Our driver was very knowledgeable and gave us a memorable evening
We couldn’t have asked for better , what a gentleman Glen is. He went above and beyond for us to make sure my great aunt got to see everything she wanted to see. She struggles getting around and Glen made sure he made it as easy as possible for her at all times. As well as making my children really comfortable and giving them snacks which was really kind of him and so unexpected. He was an absolute pleasure to tour with and feel like we struck gold. Glen if you get to read this. Thank you , it meant the world to be able to bring my great aunt to London to see the lights and you made that happen for her. I have to mention Cheryl as well. Fantastic communication and so helpful with all the train strikes/World Cup dates she stayed in contact with us and made sure we got the date that worked for us. Thank you visit London taxi tours. We’ll definitely be back and spread the word.
What a complete treat. Lee was ready early to pick us up, and was the NICEST cabbie. We had a fantastic tour including some secret spots that we Londoners didn’t know about. We were super lucky as we had a snow storm during our tour, it was like a scene from “Love Actually”. It doesn’t matter whether you are born within the range of the Bow Bells OR were born somewhere else . This is a sports rrip. Huge thanks to Lee from the Adams Family (Peter, Elizabeth, Simon, Eva & Barbi)
We had such a nice time. Our driver, Steve, was very attentive & friendly. You are able to see all the Christmas lights, take photos in front of the trees & have walks here & there to soak up the atmosphere. I highly recommend this Company.
OMG!!! We had an incredible week in London, but this tour was the absolute highlight, primarily due to our fantastic guide Terry. The night tour with Terry was like having an old family friend drive you around his favorite places. Terry knows all the places to park the taxi so we could get out and take pictures—can’t believe how much of London we were able to cover in 3 hours. Terry is incredibly fun, personable and knowledgeable. We had the absolute best time! I cannot recommend this highly enough. We were cousins in our 60s, but this would be great for families or people who wanted to see the lights, but have mobility problems. Terry was very patient and took great pictures of us. I just wish I had a better camera phone. What a fun evening!
Do this tour! It was fabulous from start to finish. We did the night tour in April at Easter. Yiannis was a great tour guide and we loved his sense of humor. We loved his stories and we went to some out of the way places that we would have never seen. It was awesome to see the attractions and the city at night — St. Paul’s, Westminster, Parliament, etc… It was such a fun tour and months later we still talk about it. Thank you so much. We would definitely do this tour again.
