Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Rachel was amazing! We did the Taylor Swift tour with our 2 girls (12 & 9). She made it very special for them starting off by giving them a friendship bracelet and had London boy lyrics printed out so they could cross off different places from the song as we went along. She was incredibly engaging and made it fun and educational for the adults and kids. Rachel was not only extremely knowledgeable about all the Swiftie spots but also super down-to-earth and easy to talk to. She shared fascinating stories about Taylor’s time in London, took us to some iconic locations, and even pointed out a few hidden gems that we wouldn’t have found on our own. The tour was well-paced, and Rachel made sure we had plenty of time for photos. Thank you Rachel!

Black Taxi Tour London provided a brilliant experience! Angela and our team for the day Rob, Ryan and Sam helped run a luxury taxi shuttle service for our VIP guests from a local train station to and from a music event. We even had some celebrity guests who all fed back so highly of their experience - "perfect gentlemen", "wonderful", "friendly and fun!".

They made sure everyone was transported safely, were completely accommodating and flexible when we hit a few challenges with the event scheduling. Angela set us up in a Whatsapp group so it made communication on the day really easy, meaning we knew where the taxis were/how long they'd be between stops periodically, making timing our guests easier. The team kept communication going in the group on the day so no lapses there either.

They even let us make sure their taxis were more visible for our guests with some subtle, removable branding which was an excellent touch.

I think it goes without saying the standard was immaculate. You can expect thoroughly clean, comfortable taxis with wonderfully polite drivers that aren't shy to open doors to make guests feel special.

Angela - thanks for organising such a great team for the day. Things were a little hectic at times but all of the guests LOVED the experience. We hope to work with them again soon and could not recommend them enough!

I booked the Windsor tour for myself and my parents as none of us had ever made the trip out of London to see the castle. Paula, our tour guide, picked us up promptly at our hotel and was an absolute joy to spend the day with! On the drive out she provided us with tidbits of information and indulged our every question. Upon learning my mother and I were big fans of the royal family she really tailored her commentary to that. During the tour of Windsor she very kindly acted as an additional tour guide to the audio guide throughout the castle and constantly made sure she knew where the three of us were since we were moving at different speeds. She then walked us through the town of Windsor as well as Eaton which was really nice to see quaint towns.

Paula never rushed us during our full day tour and even gave us some recommendations of things to do in London on the other days we were there. After Paula dropped us off back at our hotel we couldn’t stop talking about how much we enjoyed the day and how it was by far the best day of our six day stay in London. I can’t wait to book another tour on my next trip, it was absolutely superb!

This was by far the most amazing tour we have done during our time in the UK.
From booking with Angela to the tour with Paul what a easy process. Paul was fantastic and understood what we wanted to see and what we didn’t know we wanted to see. He was kind and helpful and took us to incredible places. He took some great photos of us at the attractions and knew where to stand for the best view points. I am so pleased that we decided to do this tour. Book with this wonderful company and you will have the experiences to last forever. Thank you so very much guys. Regards Debbie and Brendan

We were 7 Spanish people (6 adults and a child), and two of them had certain knowledge of London from previous visits. The first person we must thank for her professionalism and her generous availability is Angela. We asked her several questions about the tour, and she always replied diligently and surprisingly quite instantly sometimes. Her help was valuable and made things easy from the very beginning so that we did not have any doubt to hire this service.

Then, the day-tour combining the classic London sightseeing tour and the Harry Potter tour came and it was absolutely brilliant. Ray was our guide and driver, and he was extremely kind to all of us, diligent to solve a personal problem we had on our way, and an excellent guide. He made the most of our time and the day will be unforgettable for us. Not all the group could speak Spanish but his explanations were very clear and we had time to explain the same in Spanish to the rest of the group. Even having some experience in London, he showed us places we had never been to before. The child’s experience in both parts of the tour was really positive, but certainly every time we stopped at some of the Harry Potter filmset locations, Ray developed his magic and the moment turned into a magical one not only for the child but for all of us.

We are sure that anytime we return to London or nearby places, we will count on Black Taxi Tour London to spend a beautiful, lovely and always surprising time.

My husband and I only had a few days in London and knew we wouldn’t be able to get to everything ourselves or know all the spots to go. We found Black Taxi tour on Trip Advisor and it did not disappoint. We spent the day with Stella! She was so knowledgeable and fun to be with, we had the best day. I highly recommend this tour if you are short on time and want a London insider to show you around town! Worth every penny!

We had an awesome experience with Black Taxi Tours. Prior to arriving, there was such great communication in order to set the tone for a smooth and accommodating trip. Upon arriving, Rachel was a vibrant, friendly, and adaptable person who truly made our experience amazing. She made us feel welcome and at home from the moment we arrived until we left. We learned and experienced so much just within one layover in London. Thank you so much Rachel and Angela!

I would highly recommend this tour with Raymond Winstone. Ray was excellent to work with up and to including our Kent Countryside Tour. He answered our emails quickly and was very flexible in both the planning of our trip and during the trip. He is extremely knowledgeable about the countryside and shared interesting information as we traveled. He knew good places to stop for sightseeing and eating on our way to Dover. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortble and happy with our activities

Thanks to our tour with Keith we got to see so much of London on our short trip that we would not have seen on our own . Keith was such a nice guy and there was a great atmosphere on our tour. He was so helpful and informative. Communication from time of booking enquiry to the end of our trip was fantastic and made us feel so safe and relaxed. The taxi itself was spotless and extremely comfortable. I will definitely be recommending to others and have no doubt that I will be booking again in the future. Thank you for such a great experience.

Brilliant from start to finish! We did the Xmas lights tour on a Saturday and although there were lots of road closures, our driver was able to find a safe place to pick us up. It was the perfect way to see the lights and catch up with friends (chatting in the back!) without the noise and crowds in central London. Our driver took us to some interesting spots and navigated the crowds excellently. I think we all saw parts of the city we hadn’t before. I would 100% recommend!
