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.

Cab driver did an amazing job. We had a 10 hour layover in London and wanted to make the most of it. Felt like I saw more and learned more than my 1 week in London last year.

Chris Walsh and Black Cab Tours are winners. Chris could not have been any more welcoming and helpful during our short stay in London. He was fantastic, informative, kind and courteous. My wife, daughter and I appreciated his tour and insight as to what we were seeing. His knowledge on the tour was very broad and his recommendations for restaurants and other things to do in London were very helpful. He even went out of his way to make sure he took us to catch our train to Edinburgh 2 days after our tour! Thanks Chris, for all you did for us to make our stay in London as easy as possible!

If you are thinking of coming to London book your tour with Richard Karby. Our experience was a 5 out of 5. Getting a tour with Richard was the best decision ever! He knows a lot of history of the city and knows the ins and out of places to see. He picked us up from our airbnb and we did 5 hours touring the city of London. We got to see many of the major landmarks like Westminster Abbey, Clarence house (royal residence), Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Temple Church, and the House of Lords. He also showed us around places we didn’t even know existed like the oldest barbershop in London, the place where James Bonds hats were made, the old Texas embassy and so much more. He even took us to his favorite Italian restaurant Sapori an Italian restaurant that doesn’t need reservations to be seated. Food was good and very well priced. He made sure to take us to all of the places on the list we shared with him and included other significant locations as well. He gave us time to go inside places like Westminster Abbey and didn’t rush us. He also accommodated our request to drive past some football stadiums in London. His prices are very reasonable for a private tour! Also, the fact that he is a taxi driver gives him so much more freedom to park places not everyone can. Richard is friendly and considerate and he’ll make sure you have a great time exploring London. Give Richard a try, you won’t regret it.

This was by far the best thing we did! We scheduled a 4 hour tour with Chris that was amazing. He asked us questions about what we wanted to see and what we were interested in and he hit it out of the park! This is the best way to see a lot in a short period of time. We only had 4 days in London and this helped with what we could cross off the list and what we wanted to go back to. I would absolutely recommend the Black Cab Tour of London! Thank you Chris for an amazing morning.

Black Cab Tours of London
We highly recommend Black Cab Tours of London after an incredibly comfortable and fascinating 10-hour tour with Chris Walsh, our driver and guide. We were so thrilled with the way Chris accommodated our atypical plan for the day. This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us, so getting the royal treatment meant so much. He brought us to the UK “sister town” of our birthplace, Amesbury Massachusetts and went out of his way to fulfill our requests for photos on location. He was patient with us as we took our time exploring Salisbury and visiting the cathedral there, and then went over and above to get us to Marlborough, the town from which our direct ancestors left for America in 1635. He made sure we didn’t miss an opportunity to stop and visit Stonehenge on the breathtakingly beautiful countryside route. Whatever your desires or interests, we’re sure Black Cab Tours of London would tailor and enhance your tour, making the most of your precious time. Thank you, Chris!

Chris was fabulous. We were a party of 5 wanting a quick, highlight tour of the sites of London. He tailored our 4 hours perfectly, beginning with the hotel pick-up and ending with a drop at an Indian restaurant in the Covent Garden area that he had recommended (which was wonderful). He was knowledgeable and very personable. He was quick to respond to our queries and adeptly handled in-flight adjustments to our tour, like a trip to Abbey Road. Can't recommend Black Cab Tours highly enough!
