What Makes This Tour Special
Unlike large group tours, this is a personalised experience in an iconic London black taxi. The tour can be customised to your interests and pace, with the comfort of travelling door-to-door without dealing with public transport or walking long distances.
As a licensed London taxi driver, I've completed "The Knowledge" - the world's toughest taxi examination - memorising 25,000 streets and 20,000 landmarks. Combined with my experience as a tour guide, you'll get insider knowledge and fascinating stories you won't find in guidebooks.
