A Truly Exceptional London Experience with Simon - This was our fifth tour with Simon, and each time has been more memorable than the last. As soon as we booked our flights, we knew we had to reach out and schedule another adventure with Simon. Having already explored London’s iconic sights and enjoyed a Beatles-themed tour previously, we asked Simon to show us the city’s hidden gems and share stories about those lesser-known, off-the-beaten-path places. Simon curated a five-hour New Year’s Eve journey that was nothing short of magical. Time flew as we discovered breathtaking views and uncovered treasures that most visitors don’t see. Simon’s deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and genuine enthusiasm made the tour amazing. While I won’t spoil the surprises, I can say that each stop was thoughtfully chosen and truly unforgettable. Simon is simply amazing, and we can’t wait to return to London for yet another tour. If you’re looking for a personalized, insightful, and thoroughly enjoyable experience, Simon is the guide you need!

Highlight of our trip! - This was one of the highlights of our trip. A friend recommended Simon to us and he was just fantastic. We saw an absolute TON, he took us to all of the best views, took great pictures, and was just a wealth of knowledge and so personable. Can’t recommend enough!

The Great Satisfaction Tour - I took my elderly parents on a trip for three generations. From the time I first contacted them, they replied immediately and there was no problem with communication. We had a good time with his easy to understand English and kind personality. Despite requesting a lot of tourist spots, they went around almost everything and showed me more places with explanations. The efficient route selection and time management made it perfect for Sky Garden booking times, which was surprising and very comfortable. He is a good driver and has perfect consideration when getting on and off. At first it felt expensive because it was about twice the price of a Japanese taxi, but after the tour it felt like it was a great answer and it was never expensive. Tourism in London is teeming with incredible tourists everywhere. Traveling on public transportation is good, but it saves time and energy, and most importantly, it was nice to hear so many stories.

The half day tour -London - Absolutely! Here’s a revised version that includes those details: “We did The Big Half Day Sightseeing Tour with Simon and it was fantastic! He was so nice and personable, and we enjoyed his company so much that we ended up adding an extra hour to the tour. Simon shared lots of interesting facts about London and made everything fun and engaging. He also took great photos of us along the way and sent them to us afterward, which was such a thoughtful touch. We highly recommend Simon if you want a memorable and personalized tour of London!” Would you like it to be a bit shorter or more formal?

Family of 6 - Fantastic 1/2 day tour - We had a small amount of time to spend in London and we loved everything from the taxi itself to having the BEST day touring the sites with Simon as our guide. As my kids would say…..Simon is the GOAT!

Unbelievably Fun London Tour. - Simon Dyer’s London tour will be one of the top mornings of my life! No kidding. Right up there with a Safari in Kenya, or visiting George Washington’s home, Mt Vernon. Simon delighted us at every turn. Fantastic sights and insights. Lots of laughs and rich history. Such a gracious host and then Simon tops off the tour by sharing his beautiful photos with you at no extra charge. Such a great value. And absolutely unforgettable.

Simon is the best!! First class tour! - We loved our tour around London with Simon! He showed us way cool stuff that you don’t get to see and experience in a tour bus or larger groups. He also takes the best pictures! We highly recommend him! You will enjoy every minute! Thank you Simon!

Go London Taxi Tours - a fun personalized experience! - We had a great time touring with Simon today. We asked him to show us the hidden gems because we’d already seen most of the main tourist spots in earlier trips. He knows the city well and showed us some interesting spots including a place that sells a fabulous ginger liqueur created for King Edward VII. It’s a fun way to see the city!

5 Star Tour - Simon could not have provided a better tour for our family of 6! He communicated very well with the booking, was early for picking us up, and returned us exactly on time for our next activity. His panoramic glass roof cab is spotless and provided all of us with great views and a very comfortable ride. He's an excellent driver, professional, yet super friendly and he knows how to get around London so well. Plus, he takes fantastic photos. We would be happy to book with Simon again!

Still Excellent! - After having Simon take my wife and me on a half day tour of London a year and a half ago, we knew we had to engage him again when we brought the rest of our family on their first trip to London two weeks ago. Simon took our family of five to all the spots we wanted to make sure we visited, and then to places not on our list, but places where he knew from experience that we would definitely enjoy seeing. At each stop, Simon gave us whatever time we wanted to spend, and would take pictures of our family if we asked. The time spent with Simon helped to make our family's trip to London very special! We have used Simon twice now, and we would call on him again when needed. He is engaging, knowledgeable, dependable and a lot of fun to be with! If you are looking for someone to take you on an entertaining and informative private tour of London, look no further. Simon is your guy!
