Overview

The best way to see London is from an iconic London Black Cab. Add to this a qualified driver/guide and you have the full package. London Cabbies face one of the strictest and toughest examination processes known colloquially as The Knowledge. It can take up to 3 years for them to learn every road, street, lane, alley, bar, restaurant, statue, apartment block, Police Station, hotel, church, government building, train station, literally anywhere a paying customer would wish to be taken. They also need to know the quickest route.

On top of all that your driver is also a qualified guide having completed a written and oral exam through the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers. You will travel from west to east and get to feast on all the history, heritage and culture this vibrant city has to offer.

Our family of 4 including 2 teens booked this tour for our spring break. It was the best thing we did on our London vacation. Paul has a way of engaging you that you are literally wanting more and more. The cab is clean and so beautiful. We felt like royalty. I have been on private tours all over and this was special. Everywhere we visited, he explained what we were looking at in a fun and entertaining manner, but we also learned so much. From start to finish, Paul’s courteous and professional approach shone through and I will be recommending him to everyone I know that is coming to this great city. Thank you again for making a day in our holiday so special. Best wishes, The Arnside family

Our taxi sightseeing tour was amazing! This tour is so convenient with hotel pickup. Our driver, Keith, artived promptly on time, was extremely knowledgeable about the city, and took us to many places that we would have never found on our own in London. The taxi was impeccably clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend this tour!
