Luis ,our guide was informative, entertaining, and gracious. He made our tour of the high points in London a wonderful and unforgetable experience. We are planning to return to London next September and would love to have Luis as our guide again for a new adventure.
My mom, my aunt and myself had a wonderful time! We loved our guide Mick who was so kind and knowledgeable about the area. We had so much fun, saw all the sights, and enjoyed lots of laughs!
Ash (Ashley) was amazing. Tour was fun, stress free and definitely worthwhile! Meeting spot was easy to find, punctual.
Came on the Eurostar train from Paris got pick up from the train station. Very convenient. My tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would do it again.
This tour was well worth the money and you can only hope that you’re lucky enough to get Jeremy. From start to finish the communication was fabulous. He was flexible on the timeline of the tour for us. He was very aware of our needs. He asked for requests to make sure we got to see what we desired. He had a great itinerary for us when we left it up to him. His knowledge was top notch. His personality was very enjoyable to be around and added an element of excitement to the tour. He gave recommendations that were very fitting for our group. He knew where (and stopped frequently) for all of our bathroom needs. He had drinks and snacks for us as well. He was a very thoughtful person and I would do every tour forever with him if I could! Oh and he also drove well. Knows the roads and made us feel safe.
Riding with Maria was like touring with a friend. She was friendly, flexible, and full of fun information. There was local tricks and tips to see the area and miss most of the huge crowds. I saw and learned a lot about the iconic landmarks as well as lesser known spots.
We had the best day with Ollie!!! He was extremely knowledgeable and really cared about getting to know us and showing us around London! We would highly recommend him to family and friends.
We have experienced several private tours, and this was definitely one of the BEST private tours we have ever taken! Danny’s professionalism, knowledge, and warm personality truly set this experience apart
The classic black cab tour is hands down the best way to see London! Nick creates a personalized experience filled with hidden gems, fascinating history, and stops you’d never discover on your own. Have a random question or need a quick pit stop? He knows all the secrets! What really stood out was how he treated my slightly mobility-impaired mom with the same care and kindness he’d show his own family. That personal touch made the experience even more special. This is an experience worth making room for in your London plans. You control the mix of history, sights, and fun, and Nick works his magic. Highly recommend! We will be back again when family comes to visit!
Gary is pure excellence! My 80yo mum, my 4yo son, my sister and I had the most interesting day exploring corners, back streets and the big streets of London finding out all the history and curiosities that we would never had thought of or find out by ourselves. If you want to spoil yourself in London and have an interest in history - this is for you! Cannot recommend enough!
The driver was personable and very knowledgeable. Excellent customer service . Many places to see during the adventure!
Absolutely Amazing!! Tom was quite knowledgeable and joyfully shared! I felt like we made a friend! We had a great time! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
Seb is fantastic! His knowledge is incredible. I’m so glad we booked this our first day. We learned a lot! He tells stories at every stop which made it so memorable. He’s a lot of fun. Book him today. He also took all of our pictures for us!
We saw all the highlights! Enjoyed all the history and background. Dave was great at accommodating all of us and our interests , from a busy 7 year old to a senior.
We had a wonderful private tour of London with Seb in his black cab. His knowledge of the city and its history was incredible. We were especially impressed by how effortlessly he recalled historical dates and fascinating details about places we had never seen before. He made the tour both informative and enjoyable. We highly recommend Seb!
We had a wonderful afternoon last week with our guide Dean. This was not your average “check the box” London tour - Dean has a deep understanding of history, language and culture that he shares with his guests. We highly recommend this experience!
Absolutely wonderful we enjoyed every minute . The tour was well thought out and gave us a unique view of London
Dougie was simply fantastic ! He was everything you would want in a tour guide. He was very knowledgeable but as importantly enthusiastic and passionate about his profession. Lie wise he had a great sense of humor. Unfortunately we had to cut our tour short and he was disappointed because he wanted to share more about English history with us. Most guides would have been happy to cut the work short but Dougie wasn’t — he is a real pro !
Excelente Job, willing to acomódate out request, very knowledgeable Jon, cab is an experience on itself
Great way to see the highlights of London! four hour tour that takes you close to all major attractions without the need to walk miles.
Excellent knowledgeable tour guide Louie S. Accommodating to all our needs and seeing all of the sights in a nice pace. Louie’s passion for his work and City made for an awesome experience.
Amazing tour of London with Louie S. There were 3 of us and he was accommodating to all. Louie was knowledgeable, friendly and had a passion for his work. He
J P the driver guide contacted us in advance and made sure that pick up was simple and efficient. He was very kind, helpful and knowledgable which made the whole experience really enjoyable.
Ryan, our tour guide, was absolutely, awesomely great! He was friendly and engaging, extremely knowledgeable, and accommodated our requests.
Our driver and guide Johnny was superb. A London native, he is an expert on the city and full of fascinating anecdotes. He is also a skillful driver, adept at knowing where to park for photo opportunities, meal and bathroom breaks. He was also very tuned in to what we wanted to do-it was always “our” tour. By the time the tour was over we had decided to adopt him!
If you don’t do this tour, you will work at it. And if you don’t get Sean, then you are totally missing out. The only thing I will add is you need to let the driver and the tour guide to be in charge to allow you to be fully emerged in experience. Ask questions and be open. I don’t think we would’ve enjoyed London if we didn’t have Sean as our tour guide.
Sean and Patrick were there to greet our group and gave a great talk and tour. We had to reduce the allotted time given a schedule commitment and they got back in time meet the changes. Thank you guys!
It was great! Ian Gray was very knowledgeable. He provided a lot of history and opportunities to get out and see some of the sights.
Paul was absolutely fantastic. Had two teenage kids with us and he understood the mission and kept everyone entertained the whole time!! Was just great!!
Terry was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot of history. He was also flexible with what we wanted to see and recommended a nice little pub for lunch
Richard Williams was the best tour guide! Incredibly knowledgeable and kind. We did a 4-hour tour on the afternoon we arrived in London and it was the perfect beginning to our trip.

My family and I had a WONDERFUL experience with Johnny! He was so helpful, had so many fun facts during our tour, and even took our groups photos at every stop on the tour. We got to see all of the highlights on our list for London, and everyone was so happy with the experience. Can't recommend this enough to everyone traveling in London!
Our private tour through Black Cab Heritage Tours was incredible. Our cabbie and tour guide, John Mitchell, was knowledgeable, entertaining, personable and went the extra mile to make our day out in London one to remember. Will definitely book another tour through Black Cab Heritage Tours when we return.
Easy, comfortable, on time. Water waiting in car. 100 character min for a review seems like a lot…..
My daughter and I had the best time! Our guide, Richard Williams, was excellent and made sure we saw all the iconic sites and learned all kinds of amazing history. Highly recommend!
Richard Williams was an amazing tour guide! We only had a short time in London and he made sure our tour was very informative and memorable! My daughter and I loved seeing all the iconic sites and learning about all the history. Great way to see London!
Did the Premier Classic London Private Sightseeing Tour with Louie as our guide, and he was fantastic. Full of energy and clearly so knowledgeable — you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. He made the history come alive and kept things fun throughout. My mother and I had a wonderful time. Highly recommend this tour, and ask for Louie if you can!
Dave was on time, very prepared and very personable! He really told us a lot about what we were seeing and knew the ins and outs of seeing things, with easy parking to get a better look. We loved the changing of the guard. Seeing Westminster Abby and the Beatles Abby Rd studio and McCartney’s house We would do another tour with Dave in a second!
Gary is the best! This was the absolute stand out for our visit to London. Catered to the 3 year old and all the way through to the 80 year old. Spoil yourself and ask for Gary P!
Marie was very knowledgeable with her commentary. She was also quite humorous.She showed great empathy towards my wife's walking limitations, as she is recovering from knee replacement surgery. We highly recommend Marie. Nicola and Maria
Jon was a fantastic tour guide, and we highly recommend this tour of London. He showed us some unique places and shared interesting bits of London history.
The 3 of us had Seb as our driver / tour guide. I loved this tour because we had the opportunity to get out of the taxi several times to see the sites and hear the history. After several visits to London, I learned more from him than in all the tours put together. He did not sit in traffic. Whenever we were going to be stopped in traffic, he found a way around. It was 4 solid hours of sightseeing and not sitting in London traffic! Ask for Seb - absolutely the best!!!
Ricky was fantastic! Lots of information delivered with humor. SO many misconceptions we had! He took us to places not on the average for a we had done Black Taxi before. He customized it just for our interests. Our second thumbs up for Black Taxi tour and would consider it again with new discoveries out there.
