The half day tour -London - Absolutely! Here’s a revised version that includes those details: “We did The Big Half Day Sightseeing Tour with Simon and it was fantastic! He was so nice and personable, and we enjoyed his company so much that we ended up adding an extra hour to the tour. Simon shared lots of interesting facts about London and made everything fun and engaging. He also took great photos of us along the way and sent them to us afterward, which was such a thoughtful touch. We highly recommend Simon if you want a memorable and personalized tour of London!” Would you like it to be a bit shorter or more formal?

Family of 6 - Fantastic 1/2 day tour - We had a small amount of time to spend in London and we loved everything from the taxi itself to having the BEST day touring the sites with Simon as our guide. As my kids would say…..Simon is the GOAT!

Unbelievably Fun London Tour. - Simon Dyer’s London tour will be one of the top mornings of my life! No kidding. Right up there with a Safari in Kenya, or visiting George Washington’s home, Mt Vernon. Simon delighted us at every turn. Fantastic sights and insights. Lots of laughs and rich history. Such a gracious host and then Simon tops off the tour by sharing his beautiful photos with you at no extra charge. Such a great value. And absolutely unforgettable.

Simon is the best!! First class tour! - We loved our tour around London with Simon! He showed us way cool stuff that you don’t get to see and experience in a tour bus or larger groups. He also takes the best pictures! We highly recommend him! You will enjoy every minute! Thank you Simon!

Go London Taxi Tours - a fun personalized experience! - We had a great time touring with Simon today. We asked him to show us the hidden gems because we’d already seen most of the main tourist spots in earlier trips. He knows the city well and showed us some interesting spots including a place that sells a fabulous ginger liqueur created for King Edward VII. It’s a fun way to see the city!

5 Star Tour - Simon could not have provided a better tour for our family of 6! He communicated very well with the booking, was early for picking us up, and returned us exactly on time for our next activity. His panoramic glass roof cab is spotless and provided all of us with great views and a very comfortable ride. He's an excellent driver, professional, yet super friendly and he knows how to get around London so well. Plus, he takes fantastic photos. We would be happy to book with Simon again!

Still Excellent! - After having Simon take my wife and me on a half day tour of London a year and a half ago, we knew we had to engage him again when we brought the rest of our family on their first trip to London two weeks ago. Simon took our family of five to all the spots we wanted to make sure we visited, and then to places not on our list, but places where he knew from experience that we would definitely enjoy seeing. At each stop, Simon gave us whatever time we wanted to spend, and would take pictures of our family if we asked. The time spent with Simon helped to make our family's trip to London very special! We have used Simon twice now, and we would call on him again when needed. He is engaging, knowledgeable, dependable and a lot of fun to be with! If you are looking for someone to take you on an entertaining and informative private tour of London, look no further. Simon is your guy!

Simon is fantastic - Simon is the perfect guide to get a fast paced intro to London. He is a pro with the cab - parking easily and getting us up close to all the key sites. The Abbey road photo was super fun. The hotel tours were an unexpected perk. He will get you the perfect family pictures everywhere you associate with postcard London. I highly recommend this on your first day to get a feel for the city and knock out the major photos you want to remember on this trip.

Another great tour! - This was my second time in London and I knew I had to book another tour with Simon for this trip. Once again the tour was incredibly detailed, making the time fly by. Me and my 3 friends were able to get a great overview of the city and were able to see some hidden treasures. Can’t reccommend enough!
