- mariaaN8636MM0 contributionsSimply the best!I knew this experience was going to be great after I spoke to our driver Gavin on the phone. He took us to all the best places to see the lights and even went back to a good one when he realised they hadn’t put them on yet. Gavin was professional, knowledgeable, accommodating and a great guy who made the experience for the adults and children amazing. We would 100% recommend this experience and would love to go again next year!Written 3 January 2025
- U7485OOshelleym0 contributionsThe most magical experience!!!I honestly can't say enough good things about my experience with London Taxi Tours. From the outset the customer service was warm, professional and quick. Our drive/tour guide Yiannis was the perfect host a) an excellent and calm driver b) very knowledgeable and interesting tour guide c) knew just went to point things out and when to just let us carry on chatting amongst ourselves d) just a really nice guy! The tour was perfect for members of our party that had some additional needs; we saw the very best of central London at Christmas (plus more that we couldn't have found by ourselves) but all from the warm bubble of our own taxi. Our tour made us feel all Christmassy and magical and has made priceless memories for our family. My parents used to love going into central London but wouldn't be able to manage it by themselves these days so this was a real gift and we can't stop talking about it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!Written 3 January 2025

My family and I were staying over in London for a day, after a cruise, before we returned home to the states. We had never been to London and wanted to do "London in a day" if you will. We knew getting an in depth view of the city was not possible with just a day, but we wanted to absorb as much as we could. This tour went a above and beyond our expectations! Our tour guide Glen was incredible! He started out by finding out what we had already seen earlier in the day and then customized the tour based on a rolling assessment of what we were interested in seeing. We were on the "Royal London" tour, so we definitely took in all the royal sites in central London. He gave a great background into each site, and gave us plenty of time for photos and walking around at each site. He even took photos of the family, so that we could all be in the pictures for those great memories. As the tour progressed, he added in other London sites that he felt we would be interested in, including the Westminster Cathedral and Shakespeare's Globe Theater. All in all, it was much more than we could have hoped for, given our time constraints. Glen definitely went above and beyond. I would highly recommend this tour for those that want a great overview of the Royal sites of central London!!

The Driver/guide was exceptional, he had a detailed knowledge of the history and customs of London. He was able to keep up a continuous running commentary which was informative, fun and educational. The adults in the group had a great time, the children an even better one. This trip exceeded my expectations, I'm booking another one immediately. My grandkids haven't stopped talking about it, not once during the three hour trip did their phones come out, they were enthralled by the sights and continuous questions, explanations and fun. The whole event was Covid compliant, and a great end to a difficult year, Thank you

Thank you Michael, I will feed this all back to our guide Barry. I especially appreciate the COVID compliance comment - so important for people to know. Just so you know we always give a discount for 2nd bookings so we look forward to offering you that when you get in touch. Thanks again. 🎅

We had the most amazing experience with Cheryl and Alan. I traveled with 3 young children and we spent a total of 8 hours in beautiful London and we left with the most impressive memories. Cheryl was so responsive and flexible and trustworthy, was able to customize and personalize the tour to fit the interest of my little ones. Alan came to the appointment early as we landed before schedule and entertained the children while showing us magnificent sites. We were able to fully enjoy and relax under beautiful weather and Alan was so helpful and resourceful and patient with the children. He took us to all the sites on our list and more. We took hundreds of pictures and really have a life lasting memory of this day.
We are so grateful and appreciative of all the work Cheryl and Alan have put into creating the best experience for us.

Putting this tour together for you and the girls was an absolute delight. I loved researching the Paddington Bear movie locations and where the best Cherry Blossom could be found in London. And who knew we would accidentally find a giraffe or two! Alan said the whole tour was a pleasure. Thank you so much for feeding back.

Hello,
That is so good hear. We love it when people book direct with us and we can really tailor the tour, or in your case the tours to meet the needs of a group. Alan really enjoyed showing you London over the two days and using the same guide for both tours should have avoided any duplication and maximised what you guys got to see.
Alan said you went with the recommendation for lunch and ended up in my favourite tapas restaurant- slightly jealous! Really happy that your parents had a great time. Thank you very much for the review.
