I can't overstate how much we enjoyed our 2 tours with Dave and just how good they were. Tour 1 was a tailor made tour for us. Dave had taken onboard our wishlist (and incorporated what what we'd previously seen) to produce a cracking 4 hour route that ticked every box for us, including our request for a couple of pub stops along the way. Tour 2 was the first of Dave's Christmas lights tours this year and it was just as good, with a mix of nighttime landmarks and stories to complement the light displays themselves. Another great experience. Dave himself knows his stuff, tells a cracking story, and is a top class host. Look no further four your London tour guide.

Typically, this will include Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, London Eye, Trafalgar Square and St Paul’s Cathedral. I can pick you up from your Hotel, or any location in London. I can also design a themed tour for you. London has loads to offer. Previous ideas have included Tudor London, Roman London, Movie Locations, Harry Potter London, Beatles London and Americans in London. My Taxi is a 6 seater, with WiFi, a panoramic glass roof, wheelchair access, enclosed passenger compartment and USB charging points. Alternatively, tell me how long you’ve got and where you would like to visit, then let’s me take you, in the comfort and privacy of your own taxi, to see the streets and sights of London.
Stop outside the gates and get your photos right on the Queen’s doorstep.

Dave did an outstanding job of showing us all the highlights and relaying all the history of London. He knew all the best places for photo stops and some interesting hidden gems. Great afternoon. Would not hesitate to recommend him.
Wonderful day with Dave on our royal taxi tour! This was for my mother in laws 80th birthday celebration and she loves the royal family. Dave tailored the tour perfectly and was very knowledgeable. We had a great time hopping off at different places. Thank you Dave for a truly memorable experience.
Great day with Dave! A friend highly recommended him to me after they booked him in January of this year. Dave picked us up from Southampton and drove us to our London hotel, waited while we check in and get settled and took us on a four hour big sites of London tour. He was prompt, personable, and professional. Don’t hesitate, book him now. It was the best decision of our vacation.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the absolute pleasure of touring London with Dave as our personal driver, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He took us to all the big sights in one packed, fabulous 6-hour tour, but it wasn’t just about checking boxes. Dave gave us so much history and context for each stop that we felt like we were truly experiencing the city—not just looking at it. He was patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the day feel relaxed and easy despite covering so much ground. No rushing, no stress—just good vibes and great stories. If you’re visiting London and want a more personal, comfortable, and memorable experience than being crammed on a bus with 100 strangers, book Dave. Truly the best guy all around. Thank you, Dave, for making our day in London so special!
Dave always puts on a Greta taxi tour . A great way to see London and the Tudor one we did today was particularly informative and interesting- would highly recommend!
Dave was awesome! We had a wonderful tour of the city. He is super knowledgeable and drove expertly all throughout the city pointing out interesting sites and facts. Dave is also very flexible. We changed our pick-up time a few times and he was completely fine with that. He is very communicative, reaching out weeks before out tour to inquire about sites we wanted to see, etc. He also recommended various restaurants and pubs to try. I highly recommend Dave and his London Taxi Tour!
Dave was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. He was on time and picked us up from the train station. We had already given him a list of where we would like to go, we went to all plus more. It was an absolute perfect way to see London in such a short amount of time. Dave also suggested other places to visit. He took photos of us the whole way around and sent them to us immediately. We could not recommend Dave high enough. We had an awesome day.
We had an excellent day with Dave on the Big Sights tour of London. Dave is flexible, knowledgeable, understanding and great company. He was very considerate and attentive to the needs of my 91 year old father who has reduced mobility needs, and enabled us to see all the sights we hoped to include, tailored to include an added extra one my father particularly wanted to visit. Dave knows the best locations to stop off to get some wonderful views of key sights. His cab is very comfortable with a great panoramic glass roof which allows a good view of tall buildings whilst touring round London. We would recommend Dave's tours, and hope to book another one again. Thank you Dave for a very special and memorable day.
I can’t recommend this tour highly enough! Such a fantastic way to see the top sights of London. David was such a friendly and knowledgeable guide. He tailored our trip to the interests of our group, and we all came away knowing a lot more about the history of London.
We had a lovely day out as friends celebrating a big birthday. Dave was so knowledgeable and friendly and we could not have asked for a better host for the day. We learnt so many facts about London that we didn’t know and all found it very interesting. Hoping to arrange another tour in the future and could not recommend this tour with Dave enough it was a great day out.
Best of the best! Dave is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and punctual!! Everything you could hope for in a tour and taxi!! We saw all the sights we had hoped to and many more we would have never known about had it not been for Dave!! Definitely recommend and will use his services again when we return!
This was my second tour with David. I previously did his Christmas lights tour which is wonderful. We had a great second experience. David always asks what you'd like to do on your tour. As I've visited London several times before I requested more off the beaten track experiences. We went to Hampstead, Camden, Abbey Road, some Harry Potter film locations, & a few sites in the City of London, & Westminster. David is knowledgeable, friendly, & flexible in his touring based on your needs. I recommend his tours highly.
Excellent! We had an amazing day, the tour itself was great we saw all the sights and went to places we didn’t even know existed, including an amazing roof top garden where you can see all over London. Dave is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Couldn’t recommend enough.
We had a great day with David in London. We discovered a lot of history and places with this fine Gentleman. An individual trip in sunny London. If you want to see and learn about this City go with David. He is great.
We had a wonderful day out in London. Dave is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We went to many sights and hidden gardens that were not known to us. I highly recommend.
This is the second time I have used Dave’s touring services. Friends and I did Dave’s Christmas Lights Tour in 2021 and my immediate family completed a London Highlights Tour with Dave today. I have also recommended Dave to other friends in the United States and they were equally happy. I would not hesitate to book Dave for any tour. He is extremely professional and very knowledgeable.
Another great experience (3rd time with Hop In Hop Out London Taxi Tours). Dave's knowledge is superb and he creates beautifully themed tours (this one was That's Entertainment) enjoyed by all (there were 6 in the party)
The tour with Dave was fun, fact filled, and interactive. He gave us great information and was great with children. We really enjoyed our time on his tour. We would highly recommend any of his services!
What a wonderful day! Dave was brilliant, from picking us up to dropping us off, his enthusiasm was infectious and he was so friendly and courteous. I love London, but seeing it from the luxury of Dave's taxi allowed us to see more of it and to hear so many interesting facts along the way. You won't be disappointed.
Since this was our first visit to London we hired David for 3 days to be our guide, best decision we could have made. David is very knowledgeable about London and the surrounding area. We packed in many sites during this short visit but David was such a great guide, we felt we saw most of the highlights of London. We were traveling with family members with mobility issues and David handled everything with grace and patience. He was always on time and was very considerate to make sure we were comfortable in his taxi. We would definitely recommend David, couldn’t have asked for a better guide to show us around London!
Yesterday we went on a fabulous taxi tour around looking at London secret gardens. There was 5 of us in the cab, Dave was a super host, nothing was too much trouble. His extensive knowledge was outstanding. He took us to locations we would have never seen if he hadn’t been there! Thank you Dave.
We had the most amazing afternoon in Dave’s taxi - thank you Dave! My son is a huge fan of Paddington so Dave took us to Paddington station, Mr Gruber’s antique shop and to see the Paddington statue in Leicester Square. He also took us to some of the scenes from my favourite movies - Love Actually and Notting Hill. Dave’s taxi is super comfy and he knows all the short cuts so you rarely get stuck in traffic and instead spend more time seeing the sights. Dave has incredible knowledge of the London area and shares this with you during the journey. I would highly recommend Dave’s taxi tours when exploring London - he went above and beyond our expectations
We had the most amazing experience with Dave and his cab. Our family originates from London and we had the most wonderful trip down memory lane. Dave was incredibly knowledgable about all aspects of London and we genuinely learnt a lot. I can honestly say it was one of the best days we had as a family and it was for a special birthday so we can't thank Dave enough. We have said we will do it together as a family every few years. Thank you Dave for some wonderful memories and also being our family photographer!!
We had such a fabulous tour on our first day in London from the states. We saw so many landmarks, and really got the lay of the land to help us get our bearings for the rest of our trip. David was super knowledgeable and tailored our tour and time together to our interest and needs. He knew about lots of hidden gems as well as plenty of facts about the major landmarks of London. Highly recommend!
Dave was welcoming and knowledgeable. He planned a trip suitable for 6 year olds visiting London for the first time based on what they had learnt about at school, and seen on the television during the Jubilee. Just as important, Dave was able to find 'comfort break' stops at short notice! The children loved the glass roof and complimentary water. The adults enjoyed a relaxed trip without having tired small people struggling to keep going. A great afternoon and the perfect was to introduce children to London. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dave to anyone wanting a tour of London.
I would give 10 stars if I could. What an amazing day. Dave could not have made this any better for us. His knowledge of London was unbelievable. I asked if we could visit Lloyd’s as my late father worked there and I wanted to take my mum back - not only did he take us to view it he had all the history of the new building and took us to the original entrance . He knew where all the best Christmas lights were, stopping constantly to let us take photos. He even de-toured past the Zimbabwean Embassy for my mums carer to see. What a day, what a cabbie!
Very reliable. Drove to many highlights to give a true flavor of the City. Served as a tour guide and photographer as well! Taxi is ultimate with all the comforts. David is top notch.
A great way to see the London sites. Dave works out a programme to suit your requirements. He is very knowledgeable and makes you discover hidden parts of London you did not know existed.
Dave of taxi half-day private tour of the big sights of London arrived spot on time in his spotless electric taxi to take us on a tour of attractions in London. We were so impressed at his knowledge of all the different roads he used to avoid traffic hold ups. We were able to see a great number of attractions and were able to take many photos on route. Nothing was too much trouble and Dave looked after us very well. He was able to tell us about all the places of interest that we were passing very clearly through his intercom. He catered for all our needs. We will certainly ask him to arrange another tour in the future. Pearl,John,Holly,Chris and Valencia.
Most amazing tour ever! Dave took us to all our special places(including the post office) We appreciated the attention to detail. Dave was very flexible and made sure we were safe at all times-we felt safe with Dave. Thank you for making our Harry Styles day so special!
Dave was a great tour guide who took us to the big sights and some of the Harry Potter sights as requested. He is very knowledgeable and we saw several different perspectives on major sites that mostly locals know. His black cab was comfortable for the 4 of us, but it would have held 6. Dave was punctual and professional with a good sense of humor. He was very helpful in sending us links for places of interest and seemed to genuinely care that we were enjoying the tour and getting something good out of it. He kept up his enthusiasm in spite of some of the traffic which would have irritated other guides. He navigated away from most congestion. The time he spent planning our journey was reflected in the amount of information he gave us. It was educational, but not overwhelming. A good time was had by our group which ranged from 16 to 78 years old. One can't go wrong booking with Dave.
Tour was wonderful! Dave was extremely communicative during the booking process. Very insightful and thoughtful throughout the entire day of the tour. Highly recommend!
The tour was calm and relaxed and very tailored to what we wanted with our family. We loved the Tower Bridge experience ( who knew about that?) and the Monument was also a real highlight, having no less than 311 steps! I felt confident and 'looked after'- not something I associate with previous visits to London! Dave showed us things that were new, interesting and fascinating, so many thanks are due for a most enjoyable family day. We felt we were making memories with our granddaughters.
AMAZING! So many good facts! Safest way to explore London. even took suggestions on some things me and my family were interested in and too us to some locations we would of never found on our own! looking forward to our next tour with Dave! :)
Dave gave us an amazing tour of London, which was very personalised, hugely entertaining and fun, we would recommend this to anybody who might be visiting London and are a bit unsure of where to start with exploring this great city. Nothing was too much for Dave, the taxi was immaculately clean and tidy and he was happy for us to hop out and do some exploring on our own and then collect us again to continue the tour, in summary this was awesome, we loved it and would very much like to do it again! 5* all the way
Dave was an excellent tour guide he was patient and knew the information He looked smart and was very reliable , we were picked up in time and collected from various points during the time on time Nothing was to much trouble it certainly took all the stress out of travelling to London and lovely to see the sights
Fantastic Day, Very Informative and Interesting, Would Recommend, We chose to have a Tudor and Romans Tour That Was Terrific🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks Dave for a great afternoon, enjoying the sights of London. You have great knowledge and being able to get out for pictures is brilliant. Highly recommend.
It was a very nice experience with a lot of interesting information about the individual stations. David was an extremely friendly and extremely competent guide...
