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.

We spent our final afternoon with David in London; he picked us at our hotel and loaded all of our luggage and belongings into his spotless traditional London cab already filled with water and snacks. We were headed to St Pancras station to catch the Chunnel to Paris, so David thoughtfully created a 3 hour itinerary that included areas in the city along that route. They included Covent Garden, and Lincoln's Inn Fields, but the best part was a stop by the original Twinings Tea Shop. Since 1706, and this historic building is one of the oldest shops in London still in its original location. Another highlight was the St Clement Danes Church; this is the Central Church of the Royal Air Force. A beautiful rather non-descript church that is filled with history that we would have never seen otherwise. Rather than actually go to Covent Garden, David took us to the Terrace Bar at the Royal Opera House where we enjoyed a stunning panoramic view over Covent Garden. All along the way David gave us all kinds of history of London including many tidbits we were have never known has we not been with him. It was so nice to have a personal care and driver. We were an 18 year old, an 81 year old, and a 56 year old & we were all engaged & happy. My Mom at 81 has some walking issues and David definitely took that into consideration and made her comfortable. If you are in London and want to experience the sights without all the people and with some amazing knowledge, I highly recommend David!

From start to finish the whole experience was wonderful. We were made to feel so special. We saw everything we expected to and David took loads of photos for us to treasure forever. He provided beautiful fresh fruit, chocolate, crisps and water to keep us going and the taxi was spotless too. It was a truly memorable experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone wanting a bespoke tour of London.

I did a tour with David who drives a black cab and when you go in the cab he gives you some snacks and drinks when we started the trip we went to watch the changing of the guards then we went to Leaden hall Market where a Harry Potter scene was made and we got dressed up and took some pictures then we went to the Tower of London where we re-enacted and simulated someone getting executed. I had a lovely day and learned a lot from David. I would definitely recommend for 7 and above.

We were fortunate to have booked David through an agency.
He delivered everything we expected and more.
We booked the Jewish east end and got bonus stops covering Jack the Ripper and Harry Potter.
All in all a great day.
Very comfortable cap and excellent, professional driving.
We highly recommend recommend this service.

This would be our second Amazing London Tour with David, but this time - our grandparents went to London! They were treated like Royals!
Grandma was charmed by David's politeness, knowledge of London and Royal treatment (please look at the snack basket, that was prepared by David).
Grandpa enjoyed comfortable Cab and multiple stops with minimum of walking😊. Grandpa is 83!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! See you soon again!

First time family vacation (with 2 kids) in London. David helped with all logistics coming from the airport to Victoria Station (his suggestions were superb).
Met at the station with snacks and drinks for all family!!! Thank you, what a treat (especially after 11+ flight from Los Angeles).
40 years in business. Very knowledgeable and experienced guide and driver....He knows right places and people around the city!
Priceless! It's a pleasure to spend a day with David...always smiley and accommodative.
Our one afternoon spent together with David, felt like a 3-day London tour!
Prompt with emails and phone calls.
We'll see you soon David!

David"s Beatles London taxi tour and knowledge was outstanding. He personalized every stop and guided us through busy London streets , always watching out for us.
Our cab was super clean and he brought us a bag of treats. Every stop was fun and he took many photos of us. Can't wait to see them. He made special stops for bathroom breaks. Definitely the best tour we had in London. Thanks David

David was a tour guide. He picked us up promptly at our north London location and before we knew it we were off to see London and Harry Potter sites.
We were all very impresses with David and his knowledge of the city. We saw everything and more in the time we spent with David, He made my adult sons day by showing him the Harry Potter site around London. David had questions prepared for him and video clips of the sites.
We thoroughly enjoyed out day with David and recommend him to anyone looking for a private, no hassle tour of London without battling the crowds.

David continually offers outstanding service and many varied aspects of London and surrounding areas.He is extremely knowledgeable of all elements of history and ably answers, explains any questions one may have. A visit to London is not a visit to London without taking, at least, one of his tours. Don’t miss the opportunity.
