Everything and MORE! - Paul Williams greeted us warmly outside of our Marylebone hotel. After a brief introduction, we loaded into his immaculate black cab. He drove us throughout the busy communities with ease. He knew where to go and explore less crowded sightseeing places that so enriched our experience. Of course, he also took us to many of the well known sites. He shared local lore and the history of every day words we use. So fascinating! I mentioned I was a Beatles fan and he included some impressive Beatles places. He met Paul McCartney while giving a Beatles tour!!

See London with a professional! - What a great find! Paul Williams is gifted at touring London. His knowledge was endless, his stories great, and he is the consummate professional. Right on time he showed up with his sparkling clean black cab. We didn't just hit all the normal spots, but we were also shown some a bit 'off the radar'. Don't try to see London without have a professional like Paul from Cabital City Tours.

Great London tour! - The six hour tour was very complete and accommodating, we saw pretty much all the top sights, with a stop for lunch. Our guide was excellent, I’d book another with him because he was so friendly and knowledgeable. Ask for Paul Williams.

Best Guide/Tour EVER! - Paul is an excellent tour guide. Very informative, skilled at determining your interests and providing the experience that is best for you. He is superbly knowledgeable and personable. This is the best tour I have ever taken out of many. Well worth the time and money. We did the tour on our first day to get an overview of London and to help decide what to explore more fully.

Solo travelers, look no further! - Wow! What a fabulous day! It started with Paul picking me up at my hotel right on time. He talked to me about what I was interested in, and then we started our day. His beautiful black cab was impeccably clean, as were the windows. That’s really important when you are driving by things you want to snap a picture of but don’t want to get out! He also had water available, and big umbrellas, just in case! Paul was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable, and made the tour very enjoyable. We stopped at so many places..the Abbey Road crosswalk, St. James and Buckingham Palaces, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Big Ben, Parliament, St. Paul’s and Westminster Abbey and so much more! And for my girlies who are traveling solo, Paul was so kind and gentlemanly, and took many pictures for me with my phone! Now I have a lovely pictorial collection from my time in London instead of every picture of me being a selfie! I really can’t say enough about how professional and personable Paul is. Don’t hesitate to book this tour. It’s the best six hours you will spend in London!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars — An Unforgettable Day in London! - We booked a private black cab tour with Paul from Capital City Tours London, and it was truly one of the highlights of our entire trip! Paul was exceptionally knowledgeable, engaging, and funny — his passion for London’s history made every stop come alive. From Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace for the Changing of the Guard, to visiting the royal outfitters and tasting the famous Ginger Lemon Liqueur once favored by the early royal motorists — every moment was memorable. He even brought us to The George, London’s last surviving galleried coaching inn dating back to the 1600s, where we enjoyed a perfect pint surrounded by centuries of history. If you want a day that’s both educational and entertaining — with a true Londoner’s insider touch — book Paul. You’ll laugh, learn, and fall in love with London all over again! 🇬🇧✨
