2.Private Tour: Black Taxi Tour of London

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,153 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Ride through London in a private black taxi for two hours, with pickup and drop-off at selected central hotels. Your guide can follow a custom route or cover major sights such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the Tower of London. Guides including Gary, Paul, Stuart, Matthew, and Walter are praised for sharp local stories and humor.

“I highly recommend this tour! Gary, our driver, told us right off the bat that every street in London is named for a reason. And he was not kidding. He took us through a time machine as he shared countless stories about the meaning behind street names, old landmarks, and hidden corners you’d never notice otherwise. His knowledge was incredible, and he layered history with humor, quips, and details only a true London cabbie would know. If you want a tour that makes the city come alive and leaves you seeing London differently, book this. Gary was simply the best!”
