      Highlight of our week in London!
      Dave was an amazing tour guide for the day, and we had such a fun time with him exploring London. We can't recommend Dave & this tour enough. The knowledge that he shared with us on all the places we visited was outstanding. The time flew by, and it was clear during the day that Dave was well regarded by his peers when we came across other groups doing private tours. His local legend status was further demonstrated when he was able to spontaneously arrange a special visit for us at Berry Bros & Rudd's original location after a comment about the storefront when we drove by. Certainly a day that we will all have fond memories of, thank you Dave!

      A night to remember!
      What an amazing way to see the London festive lights, hear about the history of the lights and the area from an authentic London cabbie, and never ending gems of information. A night to remember!

      Fabulous Tour
      We had a simply amazing tour with Joe. He took us all over the city (even into special "secret" areas) to see the lights. He is a tremendous resource on all things London. Entertaining, engaging and knowledgeable!! A perfect time!

      Exploring London in Style: A Fantastic Tour with Black Cab Heritage Tours
      Taking a four-hour cab tour across London with Dave from Black Cab Heritage Tours was an unforgettable experience. From the start, Dave was welcoming, incredibly knowledgeable, and eager to tailor the journey to our interests. Whether we wanted to visit iconic landmarks like Buckingham Palace, uncover hidden gems, or learn quirky facts about the city, he made it all happen with ease. His warm, friendly demeanor and deep passion for London’s history made the tour feel like exploring the city with a local friend. If you’re looking for a personal, engaging way to see London, I highly recommend Black Cab Heritage Tours!

      This is a must see tour of London! Our tour guide, Sean, made the tour fun, exciting and very enjoyable! His passion and knowledge of London's history was truly amazing and appreciated. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through London's beautiful historical streets!

      Will Jones is the Best Tour Guide for London
      Will Jones is easily the best tour guide you could ask for. The tour took us all over London and he had information and/or a story about every aspect of the city. He made sure we were able to catch the Changing of the Guard and knew all the best photo locations. He clearly had a strong passion for London’s history. By the end of the tour, we felt we had covered most of the major locations in London which was impressive for how much there is.

      amazing experience and tour
      After a recommendations from a friend who used your service we decided to book a tour the day after our arrival in London to get a good lay of the land and places we were going to visit more in depth after our tour. We received a text the day before to confirm pick up time and location and were greeted warmly by Dave who instantly recognized that we were in London from Texas to celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary. ill spare the detail on the next four hours because every moment spent with Dave were fun and incredibly informative . Dave was an absolute delight and so incredibly knowledgable about London history. We are extremely thankful for his time and the very personal experience we received . Dave made us stop at the oldest wine purveyor in London and was kind enough to purchase a small bottle of their ginger liquor to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This is service.

      Exceptional!!
      The tour with Gary was much more than we could have ever hope for! Gary is an exceptionally knowledgeable guide, but somehow he’s able to share all this knowledge in a super friendly way almost like you’ve known him forever. There’s so much to see and do in London, I will absolutely book this tour with Gary again if we ever return. Highly recommended!

      Mark was Fabulous!
      I’m a little (a lot) late on writing this review, however my family and I did a tour with Mark in May of 2023 around the time of the coronation and it was amazing! It’s been over a year and we still comment on how knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating our tour guide Mark was. I definitely recommend this tour for any first timers to London.

    Absolutely brilliant afternoon with Bill (William on a Sunday).He managed to cram in so much information about Jack the Ripper and The Krays whilst navigating the busy roads of the east end.
    Bill really does know the knowledge, and we recommend BCHT and Bill to anyone wanting to have an memorable experience whilst staying in London.

    Terrific fun. Mick was a wonderful guide. Great way to see some of East End and enjoy a spooky mystery. Was a cold evening, so we were very happy to have the warmth of a new, roomy black cab to take us around!
