 Great London Highlight Tour! My family and I use this tour to see the highlights of London. Glen was it tour guide and was phenomenal. He was very relaxed the whole time. He offered us persona insight and made sure we saw all the great monuments and buildings. He was very engaging with our children by including Harry Potter stops and costumes! He took photos of our family and made this trip very memorable. Highly recommend.

 Jam packed tour, awesome guide & views for days!! What more do you need?! I’ll admit, I initially thought this tour was going to be gimmicky/touristy but after just 5 minutes with Lee (our outstanding guide), I was proven wrong! He was full of history, general city knowledge and plenty of good banter. He took us to so many cool spots that would be easy to miss if you were only doing the usual Central London highlights. Being in a offical black cab also gave us parking access to awesome photo spots that you couldn’t get to otherwise without a ton of walking. The cab itself has a glass roof so you never miss a view and even with 6 of us, there was plenty of room inside. I felt like we saw so much in just 4 hours and I got every iconic photo I could have wanted. Would 100% recommend doing this one of these tours!!!

 We went on the London Highlights taxi tour with Gavin last week and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the city! It was a great way to see the major sites of the central city in an afternoon. Gavin was extremely knowledgable and made the tour fun/interactive. He even took us to a few stops that were tailored to our particular interests. This tour was one of our favorite activities of the entire trip! Thanks Gavin!

 Perfect Start to a London Visit As a traveler from the States with a party of four (and for two of whom, their first visit to London) using Visit London Taxi Tours was perfection.First I want to thanks Cheryl for being extraordinarily responsive and helpful as we arranged our bespoke tour. We created a bespoke tour combining elements of a Harry Porter tour, a Beatles tour, and a London Highlights tour. While we could have been picked up at our hotel, we arranged to have Dave (a super tour guide) pick us and our luggage up at Paddington Station after landing at Heathrow and taking the Heathrow Express into the city. After a short stop to drop our luggage off at our hotel, we had a fabulous tour by a knowledgeable and thoughtful driver/guide. The tour included both the classic highlights (he stopped to take a great picture of us with the Tower Bridge in the background) as well as some “off the beaten path stops” (e.g., John Lennon’s row house from the late 1960s). And Dave using amazingly kind to take our group picture recreating the Abbey Road, crosswalk photo. Finally, our classic black cab set the tone for the trip as well. We happened to have a new, electric black cab with the huge sun roof. It was a great combination of classic and modern.Thank you again to both Cheryl and Dave. The Visit London Taxi Tour was an immersive and stress free start to a memorable vacation.

 London Highlights Taxi Tour We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Liam today. He had excellent knowledge of the city and its history as well as lots of fun and interesting trivia. He expertly navigated the city and was able to get us up close to all the major attractions. He was funny, entertaining and a very pleasant person. Liam never rushed us and we really felt he made the most of our time. The booking and customer service experience with Visit London Taxi Tours was also excellent and I am happy to recommend this company.

 Perfect tour of London Highlights We selected the three hour London Highlights tour to get a feel for the city and make note of places to which we would like to return for further exploration . Alan collected our group of four, two adults and two children ages 10 and 14, from our hotel punctually and with a smile. The cab was perfectly clean and comfortable. Alan’s extensive knowledge of the city was evident throughout the comprehensive tour. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable, providing ample opportunities for stops for photos, walk-ins, and refreshments. We utilized the information we learned from Alan on our tour, both that relating to neighborhoods as well as to specific restaurants, points of interest, etc., to plan our future days of exploring London. I would readily recommend Visit London Taxi Tours!
