A fabulous afternoon touring London that is not to be missed - We absolutely loved our 4-hour private black taxi tour of London with Michael. His people skills are phenomenal. His knowledge of London, and its history, was impressive - but what really contributed to the tour’s success was Michael’s enthusiasm for and love of his job! He allotted just the right time at all stops, incorporating some walking (after asking us ), and planned a great overview of London. We visited spots we never would have discovered on our own, and heard great stories that have stayed with us. Black Taxi Tours is lucky to have Michael as one of its ambassadors- he sure does the company proud! He added some stops to our tour ( adjusting his initial plans) as he got to know us throughout the tour. Brilliant customization on the fly! This opportunity is not to be missed - it proved to be the highlight of our trip to London! Thank you Black Taxi Tours, and more especially Michael, for a great afternoon full of outstanding memories to last a lifetime!

Great tour to see the highlights! - We had a very enjoyable tour to see the highlights of London! Our 2 hour tour with our guide, Stuart, touched on some of the top sites of the city. I would recommend adding an hour if you want to see more sites. London is busy, and getting from place to place takes time. We were able to see Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament and Buckingham Palace. Our guide, Stuart, was very knowledgeable about the history of the city. We learned a lot and were able to see some of the sites around town! I highly recommend this tour for day one of your time in London. It will give you a great overview of the city!

Best London tour and experience we have had in Europe! - Stuart was INCREDIBLE!! He was fantastic with loads of information and suggestions. Great attitude and tour guide for the must see sights. He was hilarious and so fun to talk with. Great for friend groups or families. He also had a great historical knowledge of the city that made the drive/tour super interesting! Stuart also was a photographer in one of his past careers and got out with us and took photos of us at each spot. And the best part is the photos were EXCELLENT! Only regret is we only booked for 2 hours. Stuart recommends 3 hours and to be done before 2pm to miss traffic and get the best bang for your buck.

Exceptional tour! - This tour was even better than expected! Mike was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. He supplied an amazing amount of history and an emenssley enjoyable time. The communication before the tour was excellent as well. I cannot think of a thing that could have been better, other than a little less rain, and we can't blame Mike for that!

Good drive-by tour - It was fully customizable, which is maybe the only reason I didn't give it five stars, but that was our own fault. Our driver, Michael, was fabulous and accommodating. Not being from London and having never visited it before, we didn't have a plan of what we wanted to see. If we had done more research ahead of time we probably could have made sure we checked more boxes perhaps. It is a good tour if you have limited time, but then just be ready that you're not going to see anything in depth.
