Private Black Cab Tour Of London's Iconic Landmarks

Simon was an amazing knowledgeable and fun tour guide. He went above and beyond his job description when my plane was canceled moving my arrival time. I would highly recommend him and have already booked a 2nd tour for my Mum and Aunt to see the Christmas lights. This was a gift to my Mum for her 80th and she hasn't stopped talking about it since.

Had an amazing experience and lots of fun. Simon was amazing and very knowledgeable.

Simon was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable. He was recommended to me and I will now recommend him to others.

Our guide was very polite, knowledgeable, and made the experience very enjoyable.

Wonderful experience getting to know London. Fantastic guide with Simon. Highly recommend and great for any age traveler.

Simon was a perfect tour guide! Patient, knowledgeable, super fun and very accommodating. Any time I’ll ever need another tour guide in London I’ll make sure to book with him again. Highly recommend!

We had a great time with our guide John. He had great stories and history on each of our stops. It was a great way for us to get an overview of London. Highly recommend!

Our tour with our new favorite London guide Simon was, without a doubt, the highlight of our day! He had us laughing from start to finish with his incredible sense of humor while keeping us completely engaged with fascinating stories and history about every building, palace, and cathedral we visited. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling brought London’s history to life in a way we’ll never forget. We’re so grateful we happened to stumble upon him—it was one of the best parts of our entire trip. We will absolutely be recommending him to everyone we know, and the next time we’re in London, there’s no question who we’ll be booking with. Thank you for making our visit so memorable “Simon says”! Truly the best

Our black cabbie driver Simon was amazing. So kind to all our family from Orlando, Florida. Great sense of humor with a strong knowledge of history that he shared during the 3 hr ride. Time went so fast it was a fantastic experience. Thank you for making our last day in London so memorable. He knows the best places for pics too!

Simon was the absolute best and I couldn’t recommend anyone else to give you a tour of this amazing city. He is so knowledgeable and just such an amazing person to show us around. I would recommend for anyone to go with him next time I am in London, I will definitely book with him!!!! He picked up me and my three other girlfriends from the airport and drove to drop us off at our flat. He made so many fun stops along the way and made it so special for us so we were so excited to be here! I would not recommend any other way to go then Go London Taxi Tours!!

Simon picked us up from the airport and led us through a beautiful tour of the city before dropping us off and arranging to pick us up again for our return flight! His knowledge and charm was the perfect opening to my first time in London!

Simon made our first day in London so perfect! As someone who’s never been to London, he made sure to share all the hidden gems and stories that make London the lovely place it is. I would recommend Simon’s tours to everyone!

We had a great experience with Simon on our 3hr tour. He was able to adjust as we had seen some other sites earlier in our visit. He was very attentive to the needs of our multi-generational group. Highly recommend this!

Simon was absolutely amazing, we highly recommend and will use him again next year! He is warm and friendly and was very kind and accommodating to our son with special needs. We did a mix of rock and roll iconic sites and London iconic tourist sites. He’s super knowledgeable and knows the funny, quirky fun facts that my family loved! So excited to have found a fantastic tour to explore London and look forward to future trips!

Simon was very knowledgeable! He had a great personality and enjoyed his tour of London. Would definitely recommend him to others.

Simon is truly one of the best guides and cab tour services in London! His warm, friendly nature and deep knowledge made our experience unforgettable. My family absolutely loved every moment of the tour—Simon’s passion and dedication made it feel personal and special. It wasn’t just a tour; it was an experience that touched our hearts. We’ll always cherish the memories he helped us create. ♥️

If you go to London, you MUST spend time with Simon. His black cab tour was sensational! He is a master of his craft. Charming, knowledgeable, professional, and he knows SECRET SPOTS. And here’s the best part…feel free to ask Simon for a special recommendation (cheese, wine, chocolate), and he knows the best place and will get you there in a jiffy. Not to mention knowing how to get you 6 feet from the starting ceremony of Changing of the Guard. Everything about this tour was perfect, but the real highlight of London is Simon. See you next year in London!

We had a phenomenal tour of London with Simon! We asked to see some non typical tourist sites of London and Simon truly delivered. While visiting the sites, we learned the history behind the English idioms “minding the gap,” “so quiet that you can hear a pin drop,” “sent to the Clink,” and “laughing your head off” to name a few. Simon has a wealth of knowledge and a wonderfully fun delivery style. He made sure that we got great photos of our tour, too. Our time with Simon flew by. I HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!!

We just got back from a week long trip to London and Paris and Simon was by far the best guide and tour we had! He was so knowledgeable, personable, and took the time to get to know our family! He pulls over and takes incredible photos of you and your family! We were on a tight schedule and only booked a 3 hr tour and I regret not doing longer! I would highly recommend if you are in London book Simon!

We had an amazing, full day experience with Simon in the Cotswolds. He picked us up from our hotel in the morning and we spent the day touring the beautiful countryside. He was punctual, full of information, and also entertaining. His cab is roomy and comfortable for the two hour ride. He also was kind enough to make himself available via text for recommendations throughout our trip. I will definitely book him again upon my return to England.

Had such great time with Simon! His knowledge of London’s history is amazing! He picked us up earlier than planned so we could see the changing of the guard….a highlight of our trip for sure! Stopped for photo ops everywhere. Wish we could have spent more time with him! Highly, highly recommend!!!!!

Great tour with Simon! We didn't have anything specific we wanted to see, so Simon hit the highlights with us on our 3 hour London tour. We saw a lot and he helped us get great photos. He's very knowledgeable so we learned a lot. It was a perfect experience for us, and at the end he gave us suggestions on what to do next. He mentioned that his tours could be tailored to your specific interests if you want as well.

I am so glad I found Simon. He is personable, knowledgeable, and funny. We had the best time with him. He is a great photographer and shares tips on enjoying London. Best money spent on our trip!

The tour was amazing! Best part of the trip. We especially loved your knowledge and funny wit. We very highly recommend!

Our tour guide Glen was fantastic and the communication from tour operator Simon was great. Glen picked us up right on time at a location of our choosing and took us on a 3+ hour tour not only of highlights of London, but was some really interesting stops that we would not have known about like the hat store and wine merchant that have been serving the royals and famous people from history for centuries. Glen also took excellent photos of us at each of the stops. Highly recommend this tour if you want a quick tour of London's highlights.

Excellent driver. Simon took us to all the sights and allowed us time to take photos. Had a great time.

Simon is an excelent and passionate tour guide. He was very careful with the pram and with my 17 months grandson, that joined us!! The black cap tour was informative, a superb experience for my first time in London!!

Very informative and exiting tour! Simon was a great guide and kept us entertained the whole time. We were able to see all the major attractions and learn so much more than anticipated.

A perfect way to see the city in a short time with the best guide! My family highly recommends this tour.

The tour was exactly what we were looking for. We didn’t have much time and thanks to Simone. We were able to see all of the landmarks in London that we wanted to along with the tremendous amount of history. This man really knows! He was also very helpful with my aunt who is elderly and had a hard time getting in and out of the taxi Highly recommended and only wish that we had called him earlier in our stay :-)

Simon agreed to tailor his tour to our specific interests and desire to see the lesser known but equally intriguing spots in the city. We had a four hour tour that took us from the earliest architectural remains through to the present day. His commentary is witty and his knowledge is nearly inexhaustible. We were able to go into places most people are unaware of. We highly recommend Simon as your guide!

We were in town for only a weekend and wanted to do an overview tour. Had briefly considered a hop on/off bus tour but decided instead to do this private cab tour just for our 4-person family. I am so glad we made this decision! Simon was delightful and tailored a tour just for us that covered all the sights we wanted to see plus many extra things we wouldn't have found on our own. More nimble than a bus, the cab was just right to get us in and out of places quickly with plenty of opportunities to jump out and no waiting around. Simon is incredibly knowledgable and gave us a lot of history along the way, which we really loved and hadn't expected. But also we had fun conversation the whole time, so it was never overwhelming. I didn't expect to see the building where the Beatles played on the roof but it was one of my favorite parts of the tour. I also loved how he always knew where to park and at just the right times to catch the guard changing or to snap the perfect photo. Highly recommend for anyone who likes to learn from a local and doesn't want to be stuck on, or waiting for, a bus. Not to mention Simon's kindness, advice, and looking out for our wellbeing. Thank you, Simon!

Our driver and certified tour guide, Mr. J. Root, was a fantastic tour guide and an accomplished driver. Highly recommended!

Wonderful way to spend the first day in town, getting a good sense of the layout of the city. Our driver showed us around, gave us time to get out and walk a bit, introduced us to some fun sights (oldest Cigar Shop with a Winston Churchill exhibit), and taught us about his home city.

Our guide was very kind and professional and offered us a wealth of information. He maximized our comfort inside that cab with information and minimized our time in the rain. We were prepared with hooded rain jackets and he didn’t hesitate for a second to hop out with us to get photos. Speaking of photos, our best and most memorable photos of the trip are the ones he took of us in front of top landmarks, with our own cell phone cameras. 10/10 recommend.

Patrick was excellent. He made our tour fun, educational and upbeat. We recommend a tour with their company!

Simon was amazing. Gave a great tour. Would highly recommend. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely use Simon again

Greg was very knowledgeable and personal knew the history and area would highly recommend him. Took us to all the sights we wanted to see and more

It was a great tour! We would definitely book again. We got a lot of interesting information. Simon is excellent at getting pictures of the group.

We had a blast with Simon! He took us to all the must see spots in London and shared his vast historical knowledge. We highly recommend Simon’s tour for your next visit in London.

We had a blast today with Simon! He showed us all the highlights of London and shared his vast knowledge of London’d history. We highly recommend taking this tour on your next London trip.

We spent half the day touring London with Simon. We were in town for just a few days- but we saw everything!! Simon was our history teacher and our personal photographer throughout the day. As a mom, it was nice actually being in some of the family photos :-) I would highly recommend!!

Great trip, Stephen and Simon both were fantastic and have vast knowledge on history of london city Overall a great experience! Thank you

If you're going to do a tour of London, this is the one to do. Simon is fabulous. He's knowledgeable, friendly, knows cool, interesting things to include, and how to tailor aspects of the tour to make it more meaningful - and memorable - for you. Simon created an unforgettable experience for us and for our two teen boys. Thank you, Simon!!!

Simon is a fantastic tour guide that makes learning about London fun and interesting. He also knows the best stops to get the photos you need to remember your trip forever. I absolutely recommend this tour if you are in London. His vehicle is clean, comfortable, spacious and exactly what you think of when you imagine London.

Simon is GREAT & the tour was FANTASTIC! From Kensington Palace, Diana’s gardens, Notting Hill, Abbey Road and so many points of interest in between, the tour was a perfect fit for our family.

Amazing cab tour! Simon is very knowledgeable and also knows lots of hidden gems to see and cool facts. His cab is immaculate and comfortable. We would reach out to Simon again next time we are here in London. Highly recommend his tour and he also is a great photographer. I have the most pictures ever in one day of my family with myself on vacation which is a treasure : ). Thank you Simon!

Simon was an amazing tour guide. He was so nice and accommodating. We saw all the big sites and some things I didn’t know about but loved (queens book store, row ex council housing). He told great stories at the sites and knew perfect spots for photos and took them for us. The cab was clean, comfortable, and had a panoramic roof. Great overview of London for a short trip.

Roman wall and tower was interesting. Changing of the guard. Buckingham Palace. Golden Hind boat and many other historical roads and alleys
