Excellent Private Tour! - This was the best tour, Ray was knowledgeable, friendly, and expertly explained so much of London’s history. He offered suggestions and emphasized the tour was totally customizable. He went out of his to ensure we saw what interested us. You will not be disappointed.

Great experience, highly recommend - Wonderful experience! Steve Kendall was our guide for our London visit. This trip was on my 82 year old husband’s bucket list and he can now check that off. Steve was very knowledgeable and I highly recommend using him. We changed from the hop on hop off to blacktaxitourlondon and I’m so glad we did. Being able to hear Steve and actually see so many different sites in London, avoid the weather, and have a more personal experience was worth any monetary difference for this once in a lifetime vacation!!

Fantastic experience for man with learning disabilities - We went on an arranged trip with Rachel who drove us around London to see all the Paddington bear sites for a young man I support with learning disabilities and his family for his birthday. From the moment we arrived rachel was accommodating and made our day a fantastic experience. Rachel was amazing at engaging with my young man as well as teaching me things I didn't know about London. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Thanks again for a fantastic and remerable day out.

Best 5 hour Tour of London - We were lucky enough to be picked up at airport by Keith Groves early on our arrival day and spent the next 5 hours being shown the sights of London that we didn’t even know we wanted to see! Keith has a wealth of knowledge about London and the best personality too. He was always up for a photo opportunity too! He delivered us to our hotel in time for check in at the end of tour. We would highly recommend Keith and his fellow cab drivers at Black Taxi Tour London.

Japanese Taxi Driver Mr. Kim - This is my 8th visit to Jeju Island. This is my 4th visit to Jeju Island since airplanes started flying after the coronavirus outbreak (T-Way). I previously found Mr. Kim of the Japanese Model Taxi (he has badges for 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years) on a PC.
He is a veteran driver from 12/21/1957. Since there are no tours, he takes me to places I want to go to on my own. This time, he also confirmed the procedures and purchased tickets for the Sanbangsan sightseeing boat without a reservation. Not only tourist spots, but he will take you to the place you want to go as long as you know the address. He will also tell you about delicious restaurants and take you there. This time, I went to Chosuri, a daily lunch restaurant on the west side of Jeju Island. Business hours: 11:00-14:00, 10,000W, buffet style, tempura, japchae, mixed grain rice, macaroni salad, sausages, hairtail fish, pig's trotters, bananas, etc.
Basically self-service
Mr. Kim, please search on your PC.

Rachel Made Our Day! - Rachel was an amazing guide. Anyone who can entertain teenagers for 8 hours is a dream come true! She and I emailed a bit ahead of time so she knew some of the things we were interested in, and then she added more than I could’ve asked for!

Answered all of our wacky questions - Our driver was Keith and he was excellent. He answered ALLLL of our questions and told us several fascinating phrase origins (like ‘one for the road’). Highly recommend!
