Went on a 6 hour private tour with Tom our Tour guide who was Exceptional He was so funny and knowledgeable answered questions and showed us all the historical places and more We could not of wished for a better guide he went above and beyond and honestly we did not want it to end
Our 4-Hour private black cab tour with Stella was worth every penny! She picked us up right from our accommodation and took us to famous landmarks and hidden gems we would never have discovered ourselves. Her incredible knowledge of London’s history made it feel like a true insiders tour, with excellent service throughout. I was traveling with my senior mother, so we chose this way of sightseeing for comfort, safety, and easy access to the best spots. It was absolutely the right choice, but I would recommend a tour with Stella to anyone.
What made our tour so wonderful was Tracy our guide. She was so fun and so full of information. We no appreciate London in a new way. We now want to return to see more and learn more. Our tour was well crafted by her; we were picked up right in front of our hotel and dropped off at Paddington train station for our express train ride back to Heathrow. You just can't ask for more. The tour covered so many interesting aspects of London including American heritage in London, very, very interesting. A little pricy yes but overall, it was worth the expense.
Dave made our tour absolutely highlight of our trip! From start to finish, they were punctual, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable and made adjustments to the itinerary according to the weather. Rather than just reciting facts, Dave brought the history and culture of London to life with engaging stories, local tips, and humor. He went above and beyond to ensure my mom and aunt were comfortable, answered every question with genuine enthusiasm. Also gave recommendations and suggestions.
We had a 4-hour visit with Patrick our lovely tour guide!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and we could not believe how knowledgeable he was about everything. He took us to amazing places that were all free, and we just had such a fun and funny time. He managed the 4 of us so well and I will recommend Patrick to anyone I know who travels to London. Hoping to be back in the future and book again!
Wonderful tour of London, we got to see all the major attractions and learned so much history.
We enjoyed a great afternoon seeing all the highlights of London! Thanks to Dave for his patience with a young child and slower senior.
Steve DeNiro was an excellent guide! Making sure we had great photos and experiences, including the changing of the guard. Funny, knowledgeable and careful with our pace. Thankful for his willingness to drop us right in time and place for our next tour.
We had a wonderful experience on our London 6 hour Black Cab tour. Our driver Steve Thomas was terrific from beginning to end. Very knowledgeable and courteous Steve truly was top notch in every aspect. I would highly recommend Steve!!
Our driver/tour guide, Dave, was absolutely the best! My husband has limited mobility and Dave did his best to accommodate my husband’s needs so that he was able to enjoy the city of London with his wheelchair. We saw so much in the six hours, and Dave’s knowledge and stories added to a truly outstanding day!
If you are looking for the best way to experience London, look no further than booking a Black Cab tour with Johnny Carter — this tour was hands-down the highlight of our entire trip! From the moment we stepped into his pristine cab (and he was early to arrive which was so great), Johny made our family of four feel like VIPs. After learning about our interests, he seamlessly blended deep London history with an unforgettable musical history tour, taking us to iconic spots we would have never found on our own. His warmth, knowledge, humor, and genuine enthusiasm is impressive. Do yourself a favor and book your four-hour tour with Johnny! You will be talking about it for years to come!
This tour was amazing with Jeremy! He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the tour. He took us to so many different spots and was super friendly and helpful. I would definitely book with him again and tell others to book with him as well. We seen so many spots that we weren’t even expecting to see.
Absolutely wonderful experience. Steve DeNiro showed us around the city on our jet lagged day of arrival and was able to keep 2 adults, 2 teens, and a five year old entertained and alert. He found unique views and photo opportunities and made recommendations for the rest of our stay.
Ian Gray was fantastic! We showed up 5 minutes before Big Ben chimed so we had time to take photos and enjoy it! He was kind and had great facts about the sites.
I had a four-hour tour of London with Julie, and she was absolutely incredible. English isn’t my first language, so I asked the company for a guide who spoke clearly and at a pace I could comfortably follow. They recommended Julie and suggested a call before the tour to make sure I could understand her easily. She tried calling me three days beforehand, and the company followed up when she couldn’t reach me. That extra effort made me feel they cared about the experience I would have, beyond simply booking the tour. They wanted to make sure I would feel comfortable and enjoy it. Julie arrived ten minutes early and was so easy to spend time with—fun, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. Whenever I had a question, she answered it thoroughly. Throughout the tour, she checked in to make sure we were spending time on what interested me, that the tour was meeting my expectations, and whether I wanted to adjust anything. I really appreciated that. Since I was on my own, she also took some great pictures of me wherever I wanted to stop. We toured from 9 to 1 on a busy morning, and some streets were difficult to get through because of the traffic. Julie knew her way around so well that whenever we hit congestion, she found another route and showed me things along the way. We barely spent any time sitting in traffic. I’d just finished a ten-day Mediterranean cruise and had guides at almost every stop. I thought several of them were very good, but Julie was miles ahead. It wasn’t just how much she knew—it was how she explained things and paid attention to what I actually wanted from the tour. I would absolutely recommend the company, and especially Julie. I’m so glad they paired me with her!
Our guide Ollie was so knowledgeable and informative. He was so pleasant to spend time seeing Central London if you don’t have a lot of time or want to navigate through London. He was fantastic in recommendations of places to see and even took suggestions that he could accommodate. It was really a pleasure and would definitely highly recommend Ollie!
Steve De Niro was the best tour guide we could ever had, he knows the city really well and al the history of the places he recommend, we visited a lot points of interests and we really enjoyed the tour and the guide
We had such a wonderful time exploring London with Steve De Niro! From the very beginning, he was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. He made the entire experience feel so personal and made sure we got to see the places we were most excited about.
John Davies, was fantastic, very knowledgeable.. great experience. I would definitely hire him again.
John Davies was a pleasure!! Very knowledgeable! Thanks for the great memories!!!
Dave was fantastic his knowledge and personality were great. Highly recommend Dave. Showed us all the highlights.
We had a 6-hour private tour of London that turned into 8 hours—and we loved every minute of it! ❤️🇬🇧 Our tour guide, Julie, was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. We saw and learned SO much about London through her. One of the things we really loved was being able to get out of the cab at certain locations, walk around, take in the sights, and of course, take lots of pictures! 📸 Julie truly went above and beyond to make our day special. If you’re looking for a private tour of London, I highly recommend Julie! You won’t be disappointed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you, Julie, for such a wonderful and memorable day in London! ❤️🇬🇧
Mannie was our private 6 hr guide. Fantastic and a wealth of knowledge. Would do a tour specifically with him anytime.
David was an excellent guide and we learned so many interesting things about London. (Do you know where the saying “the real McCoy came from?) We saw many highlights in the City of London and the City of Westminster and David was very knowledgeable about the history and background, sharing many quirky and unique facts! If we are fortunate enough to come back to London - we would love to do another tour with him! Thanks David for a great morning!
Excellent tour and wonderful guide
Great. Fun. Brilliant. Excellent.
We had a wonderful 4-hour city tour of London with our driver, Dave and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and an excellent guide. He showed us many of London’s famous landmarks and shared interesting history and stories along the way. The tour was relaxed, enjoyable, and very informative. He made sure we were comfortable and took us to some fantastic places that we might not have discovered on our own. Excellent Thank you for making our visit to London so memorable!
Excellent tour guide. Steve was very knowledgeable and accommodated all of our needs. We made all of our stops and were able to walk around and take pictures. Highly recommend Steve as a tour guide old taxi
Had an awesome experience with Dean, our guide. Very knowledgeable, personable and made our trip such fun.
Patrick was absolutely fantastic! We did a 6-hour Black Cab tour with him and honestly could not have picked a better way to see London. He was fun, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and made the entire day feel like we were touring the city with a friend. We saw SO much, learned a ton, laughed a lot, and never felt rushed. Patrick knew exactly where to take us, the best places to stop, and all the little things about London we never would have known on our own. If you’re visiting London, especially for the first time, book Patrick! He was one of the highlights of our trip and we would recommend him in a heartbeat. We absolutely loved him!
Spent an amazing day with Steve Thomas yesterday. We did the 6 hour London tour. He was communicating with us before our tour asking about our interests. He completely catered the trip to our interests. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the sights and history of London. He also had a great deal of knowledge about the Beatles and took us to some very interesting places that involved their time in London. Steve was incredibly engaging and thoughtful. We would absolutely come back and do another tour with him. My brother and I said so many times yesterday I’m so happy that we did a private tour. We never would’ve had the same experience on a hop on hop off bus. He showed us all the spots to stand to be able to see things, what to look for with what we were looking at. I could go on and on. We really felt this trip was worth every penny. Please ask for Steve Thomas when you go book your tour.
We had a fantastic 4 hour tour with Jim. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of London’s history. He asked us what we wanted to see and crammed so much into 4 hours. He took photos of our group of 4 on his own phone and then air dropped them to all of us at the end of the tour. We loved every minute. Jim is an excellent tour guide. I highly recommend this tour!
From meeting our driver Jim to the end, the tour far exceeded our expectations. Jim was professional, friendly and extremely knowledgable. We saw every sight we wanted to, plus a couple of places that Jim took us that we truly spectacular surprises. By the end we felt like Jim was our friend. And quite possibly the best tour guide ever. Big thanks to Jim and Black Cab Tours for our BEST! day in London.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Mannie on our private Black Cab Heritage Tour! From the very beginning, Mannie took the time to really understand what we were looking for and then tailored the entire tour around our interests. The balance between driving and walking was perfect. We were able to see so much of London without ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Mannie is incredibly knowledgeable about the city and brought so much history and personality to the experience. One of the things we appreciated most was his knowledge of the city beyond the typical tourist stops. He knew exactly where to take us to experience London while avoiding the mainstream crowds, which made the tour feel much more personal and special. If you are visiting London, I highly recommend booking a private Black Cab Heritage Tour, and I would highly recommend Mannie as your guide. He truly made our time in London memorable and gave us an experience we will be talking about for a long time!
This was by far one of the coolest things we did on our trip visiting Scotland, London, and Paris. Paul Hunt picked us up at our hotel and started the tour by asking us if we had anything specific we wanted to see. We stopped at various locations of interest for American tourists, as well as historic landmarks. Upon being asked "what's the oldest and most historic cite in London" Paul pivoted and took us to view the Roman coliseum. This was a fascinating and personalized experience that I would HIGHLY recommend if you only have a few days to visit London, as it truly presents you with the highlights (and helps guide places to return to later). Thank you again Paul!!!
We had a wonderful time! Stella has a wealth of knowledge about the history & workings of London! She accommodated us in every way! We loved her, she was fantastic!
John was amazing and very knowledgeable. He made the whole experience way better than we imagined. We saw so much and had some great photo ops.
We went on an amazing tour of Westminster led by Richard Williams. He was incredibly knowledgeable and funny.
We did a 2 hour tour of Westminster with Richard Williams. He was funny, incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, and a lot of fun. We would highly recommend this service to get a better understanding of London. He gave us some really good pointers for our other excursions in greater London.
Steve DeNiro was an awesome guide! We had a beautiful half day exploring London. Would highly recommend Steve! Professional, friendly, knowledgeable!
Steve was awesome and informative. Best part of my trip to London and highly recommended! Plus a good looking mate!
Terry was my guide for a 6 hour tour. He was so knowledgeable and kind. He showed me all the highlights because this was my first time to London and I only had two days here. His love of his country was infectious made me wanna come back and bring my whole family highly recommend black cab tours.
We had an absolutely fabulous private black cab tour of London this morning with our tour guide Steve. We had two people in our party who had never been to London before, and Steve was able to provide them with a wonderful overview of all the major sites. There were also two people in our party who had been here a number of times, and Steve was able to enhance our knowledge with detailed facts about history, culture, and showed us areas of London we had never seen before. He was very personal, accommodating, and truly a joy to spend our morning with. Definitely a five star tour/guide.
The cab driver, David, was funny, personable and well informed. The ride was comfortable and the highlights covers a good portion of London in the shortest amount of time. Highly recommended.
Stella was the absolute best tour guide. We really lucked out getting her for our drive and guide. We arrived in London and were able to take this wonderful 6 hour highlights tour with Stella. Her communication with us was above outstanding and eased any concerns we had about the meeting point and how to contact her. We were amazed at her ability to show us all the sights in just a 6 hour tour. Definitely take this tour! You will be as impressed as we were - no doubt. A heartfelt thanks to Stella for starting our vacation off with an amazing tour!
This was my first time to Wngland and I had a driver named Jeremy, let me tell you how wonderful this day was! I had a rather rough start from all the travel and he was kind enough to allow me a little time to grab a coffee before we headed out. Our first few stops were the scenic shots and he was sure to let me get a few pictures—much appreciated. What I enjoyed most about the tour were the stories and tidbits of information that he had! I had no idea of all the significant places and people throughout historic London! I thought showing me dr. Johnson and his cat was an especially nice touch. My favorite part of the trip had to be the new information about each of the sites and the personal nature of this tour. I really can’t convey how knowledgable and friendly Jeremy was. He’s a natural at being a tour guide and when I come back I’ll be sure to book with him again!
This is a great way to see the city. Our guide, Tracey, is very knowledgeable and was very helpful. Pick up was at our hotel and the drop off was at our location of choice.
Ian was our driver/tour guide and was extremely knowledgeable throughout our 4 hour London tour. He took us to many places that a lot of tourists would never discover on their own along with all the many standard sites included in the tour. He even dropped us off at our requested central London location instead of back at our hotel as we had initially requested when making our reservation.
The tour was great and perfect for showing our elderly family members around while they were visiting. We got to see all the main tourist hotspots without the hassle and walking involved with traditional hop-on-hop-off bus tours. John G was friendly, knowledgeable, and informative throughout. Definitely recommend this tour!
