2.Private Tour: Black Taxi Tour of London

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,153 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $306.95

Private Black Taxi tour of London with hotel pickup, flexible stops, and witty driver commentary around Westminster and royal landmarks.

“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!”

His deep knowledge of London’s rock-and-roll history is remarkable—he brings every story, street, and legendary landmark to life with passion and authenticity. Beyond being an expert, Steve is charming, friendly, and incredibly personable. From the moment the tour began, he made us feel like we were exploring the city with a long-lost family member. If you’re even thinking about taking a rock-themed tour in London, Steve is the one you want. I can’t recommend him highly enough, and the next time I’m in London, I’ll be booking his tour again without hesitation. An absolute must-do experience! - Carlos & Paula”

He knew the best places to park, best angles to take photos and had the best stories to share. He took special care with our 90 year old mother. He found ways to drop us off close to sights, help us take beautiful family photos then magically appear with the cab on the end of the walk to pick us up so to limit the amount of walking for mom. We all felt so lucky to have Jon…”

I highly recommend that you book this tour, and make sure to ask for Lawrence! :) Tell him Becky and Maria referred you.”
