The Experience
What your day looks like
There is, if you know where to look, a very secret London just waiting to be discovered and enjoyed. Taking a Secret London Private Taxi Tour will allow you to explore hidden courtyards, narrow alleyways, timber-framed buildings, forgotten statues, and secret gardens tucked away throughout the city. And that's just a taste of the secret side of London we can show you on a 3- or 4-hour Visit London Iconic Black Taxi Tour. You are guaranteed an iconic London taxi with a glass roof, accommodating up to 6 people. If you’re very lucky, while walking around London sightseeing, you may stumble upon some of these unexpected and charming locations—or you may not! Your Secret London Taxi Tour will reveal a side of London that most tourists never see or hear about—a city full of hidden, fascinating places that have survived centuries of development and managed to stand still in time. With a little imagination, these hidden cobbled streets and secret alleys can transport you centuries back into the past, with the ghosts of ancient Londoners going about their daily business. Enjoy a side of London that millions of visitors never get to see. All of our London taxi tour guides have passed the world-famous Knowledge of London exam and, on average, have been driving a London Black Taxi for over 25 years. In addition, many of our guides hold additional tour guide qualifications, meaning their knowledge of London’s history, buildings, places, and people is second to none. Their expertise and passion ensure that whichever tour you choose, it will be fun, informative, and memorable. Your taxi tour guide will also share numerous anecdotes and personal stories throughout your journey. Highlights you may encounter on the tour: - Medieval gateways and a secret medieval street - Roman remains and a Roman tower in the heart of the city - Timber-framed buildings that survived the Great Fire of London in 1666 - Narrow alleyways and backstreets that Charles Dickens would have known - Hidden courtyards - Secret gardens - 17th-century taverns - The oldest parish church in London, offering a real journey back in time - The only statue of King Henry VIII in the whole of London
