The tour is conducted by a local and authentic London Black Cab Driver, who is a certified tour guide in addition to being a fully licensed London Black Cab driver. Timeframe and drop-off location: Journey to London for a 4-hour highlights tour and a drop off at your hotel within a 4.5km radius of Trafalgar Square (hotels and other locations outside of this area must be confirmed before booking - some locations incur a further cost outside of the radius).

My client gave her guide an A+++.  Her review : “Felt very safe, there was a major protest assembling. He explained what was happening and made sure that we avoided the crowds. Aside from that, it was a great way to see the city. He was very knowledgeable and courteous. Touring by taxi allowed us access that we wouldn’t have otherwise. For example the area around Buckingham Palace was extremely crowded and blocked by Barricades. We were able to drive up to the barricades get out and take pictures. The vehicle looked new and was very clean. Thanks again. I highly recommend this service and especially Matt!”

Simon was the guide. He made contact when the trip was booked. He followed up, including the morning of, with his photo and a photo of the cab license plate, and with specific directions to find him. Simon offered a traditional London tour, along with many sites that, although not part of the listed tour, were fascinating. He knew the best places to stop for photos, including taking them. Simon's knowledge of London, history, people, and which road were closed added to the value of the experience. Yes - to the airport on time was important too!! When in London, there is no hesitation in hiring Simon again!
