Outstanding experience…highly recommend our tour guide Dave! - Our tour guide “Dave” was outstanding. He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable when it came to the locations we visited. He went above and beyond to make our experience a memorable one. We hit all of the main tourist attractions in the heart of London and Dave made sure to prioritize the locations that we wanted to be sure to see on our tour. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Dave!

An Absolute Must When Visiting London - There are truly not enough words to express how exceptional this tour was. Tracey is an absolute gem—warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. With only a few days in London, she ensured we made the most of our time, covering so much ground while bringing the city’s history vividly to life. What stood out most was how thoughtful and accommodating she was. Tracey tailored the tour to our interests, making sure we experienced everything we hoped for, while also offering excellent recommendations for the remainder of our stay. I’ve already shared this tour with family and friends planning trips to London, and I very much hope to have the chance to tour with Tracey again in the future. She truly made our visit to London unforgettable—thank you, Tracey!

Four hours with Jamie in London - We knew this was going to be a great day as Jamie contacted us the day before to understand what was important to us with the tour. He was friendly, engaging in humorous. He knew London like the back of his hand. We would definitely use him again and would recommend him to all of our friends

London Unlocked: A Perfect Day with the Black Cab Heritage Tour - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Black Cab Heritage Tour – London with Gary We had an absolutely fantastic experience with the Black Cab Heritage Tour! Our guide, Gary, was wonderful from start to finish. His communication before the tour was excellent, and he arrived right on time—if not a little early—to pick us up from our hotel. Gary asked if there was anything specific we wanted to see, but we told him to show us whatever he thought best about his city. For the next four hours, he did exactly that—taking us on an incredible journey through London’s history, landmarks, and hidden gems. He was extremely knowledgeable, able to answer all our questions, and shared so many fascinating stories that made the city come alive. We saw Royal Albert Hall, Buckingham Palace, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, drove through The City of London, crossed the iconic Tower Bridge, and so much more. It was the perfect mix of must-see sights and insider information. If you’re looking for a personalized, engaging, and informative way to experience London, I can’t recommend Gary and the Black Cab Heritage Tour enough!

Wonderful tour - Our group of 6 had the best time with Nick. He took us to all the highlights of London as well as some out of the way spots to get a perfect view. He had many stories to tell and much history to teach us. He was very knowledgeable, professional, kind and courteous. He tolerated our many questions and sometimes silly questions. Our four hours flew by and I was sad our time with Nick was ending. He asked where we wanted to be dropped off and even pointed out a few pubs and a couple of restaurants in that area. Nick was definitely a 5 ⭐️ experience.

Great experience - Doug was a great driver. He took us to all the well known landmarks and we enjoyed his sense of humor and his vast knowledge of the history of London and the landmarks. He suggested a few stops for us which we enjoyed.

This is the way to see London! - We were so happy with this private cab experience! After spending some time walking around London, hopping in a private car and getting to whip around sites and neighborhoods was incredible! Our tour guide, Doug Wright, made sure we were all engaged and learning about London history, its quirks, and catered the tour to our interests! We had a diverse group (seniors, an 8 year old and my husband and I), so it was not an easy as for Doug! We all agreed it was the highlight of our European vacation! Thanks Doug and Black Cab Heritage Tours!
