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.

This was one of the best decisions we made on our London trip! We contacted Chris and he picked us up at the airport and took us to our hotel. He waited for us to check in and get situated and then took us for a great night tour of London - gave us the choice of what we wanted to see. Chris gave us a wonderful history and back story of the different landmarks we visited, but also was very personable and friendly with conversation. He gave us great recommendations of things to see and do during our stay. He offered to be available to take us back to the airport at the end of our stay, which we took him up on.
Chris was highly communicative prior to our arrival, easy to find at the airport and always on time with pick ups and drop offs. Extremely reliable and very clean cab.
We are returning in December and have already talked with Chris about picking us up at the airport and doing a Christmas light tour with him. This was a great interaction and would highly recommend Chris and the company to anyone headed to London!! Thanks Chris!!

Fantastic Xmas lights tour!! I made my booking via email and Chris was very prompt and responsive to all my queries. Prompt pick up on the day of the tour. Our cab driver Dennis was absolutely great. He was knowledgable and took us to so many beautifully lit sights, some of which were like hidden gems. He gave us interesting information on the history of the sights and was patient with clicking all our photos. He even had some chocolate treats for our kids! Would highly recommend these guys👌👌

My family booked a tour with Chris and it was worth every £. We were able to, get breakfast on Brick Lane, view most of the London sites and receive extensive knowledge of the history behind London and the sites we visited. What would have taken us a week, we got done in a couple hours, all in the convenience of the black cab. Chris was genuinely focused on our interests rather than follow a set tour agenda and saw that we got to experience what we wanted to. All five of us fit comfortably in the cab with room to spare. There were USB ports and WiFi available. We were so pleased that we opted to use the cab to go to the airport when our visit came to an end.

Booked a 4 hour afternoon and a 2 hour London by night tour, both absolutely amazing, we saw sights we would have never of even thought about seeing, would highly recommend Chris to anyone wanting to see London, nothing was too much trouble. The cab was fab with the panoramic roof meaning you could see everything there is too see. I honestly can’t recommend these tours enough, absolutely brilliant. Thanks again Chris!

We recently took a bespoke tour with the Black Cab Tours of London as a Christmas present for my grandmother who wanted to revisit the City of London and take a trip down memory lane. From the very beginning of the journey until the end Chris was an excellent tour guide and a friendly host in his great and modern black cab. From someone whom used to work in the city, I was surprised at how much I didn't know about London and it was great to hear Chris's fascinating facts and stories about our great city. My grandmother absolutely was overjoyed with her trip and still has a smile and a twinkle in her eye when she tells her friends about our fantastic trip. I definitely recommend this as a gift or even or even if you wanted a further insight into London, you will be amazed at what you learn! Thank you so much Chris !

We took a two-hour tour with two kids and four adults (ages 9 to 77). Chris was thoroughly entertaining and really interesting. It was the best way to see the bits of central London you know - and quite a few hidden gems. The glass roof on the cab means you see things you wouldn’t normally notice and Chris was super kind in taking us past a few places that would evoke family memories. We’d definitely book him again and are thinking of challenging him to come up with and East London/Docklands version!

I haven’t been on a London tour for about thirty years but I am so glad I choose this bespoke tour with black cab tours of London - boy did Chris deliver.
The booking was simple and easy and the response back was quick.
Chris’s knowledge of the city, buildings and monuments was second to none. He knows the history, secret gems and all the cabbie tall stories. He is really flexible and will take you to places you would like to see, he’ll stop for photos and some in very special spots.
He arrived on time in a spotlessly clean cab that was 100% electric(which was important to us) and an added bonus of a panaramic roof which was great for our unpredictable British weather.
We loved everything about this tour and we would recommend it to anyone and everyone. We will be back - thanks heaps Chris 😊👍

We booked a classic 3-hour tour with Chris on Wednesday 27th October. We’re a family of four with two daughters aged twelve and nine.
What can I say? This was an absolutely fantastic afternoon! Chris is an amazing guide; you will see things you wouldn’t otherwise have seen thanks to his expert, extensive local knowledge, and hear fascinating stories about our capital city that you wouldn’t otherwise have heard. See if you realise what you’re doing in the ONLY place you’re allowed to do it in the UK as you drive into the Savoy Hotel…
Chris is completely flexible as to what you’d like to see. After chatting to our daughters, he customised the tour to include some Harry Potter locations (to their absolute delight!) and made an impromptu stop-off at the famous Abbey Road zebra crossing on the way home, even though our three hours had already elapsed.
A brilliant afternoon with a masterful guide – and amazing value too. I would unequivocally recommend Black Cab Tours of London to anyone. Go ahead and book! You won’t regret it.

Although we sadly had to cancel our tour of London at night due to illness, our son could at least use the cab to ride from our hired flat to the train station. The cab was driven by Frank. Our son came away highly pleased and impressed by the amazing combination of gentlemanly courtesy, knowledge and smooth driving he'd experienced. Frank's cab was brand new, impeccably clean and nearly silent - it was electric powered and had a full glass roof for viewing.
We thought our ride to the airport then next day couldn't measure up to our son's experience, but our driver Dave displayed the same amazing combination of gentlemanly courtesy, knowledge and smooth driving. Plus, we'd given the company a list of requests to protect me from Covid because my immune system is weak, and Dave nailed them all. And again, a spotless cab!
Having taken cab rides on three continents, I believe this company and its drivers Frank and Dave are very special. Note how many reviewers have praised the other drivers. This means you can't go wrong no matter who your Black Cab Tours driver may be. It takes a very special person to be a certified guide employed with Black Cab Tours. Trust we will be using this company when we return to London in 2022, both for our transportation and for that postponed tour of the great city of London.

We booked Chris for a family tour of London including my 2 young children age 5 and 7. He was engaging, fun, informative and really polite. He made sure we saw all the big sights we wanted with the best views and so close we could touch. Impressively, he went above and beyond taking us to sights we didn’t know we’d get including some secret Harry Potter filming locations, the man in a clock and ‘downing street’. Honestly THE best option for families or if you simply want a personal tour without the stress of trying to get a picture whilst moving/out the wrong side of a window. Chris was more than happy to make stops. Let us take photos and showed us the best angles!!
Beautifully immaculate car with an incredible glass roof.
