London City Gour - We had a fantastic tour with Richard. He is so knowledgeable about the sites and history of London and went out of his way to make sure our tour was enjoyable. Even offered to take pictures and go to some off the beat and path locations. We highly recommend Richard and this tour. We would not hesitate to reach out again on our next visit to London.

London with Personal Attention - Our driver Marc was personable and very knowledgeable. His tour included stops and explanations which one would not get on a standard tour bus. We were given options and time to see the things most interesting to us.

Fantastic day in London - Paul was a fantastic tour guide and driver. He navigated us around London so we could see so many sights. My mother was traveling with a wheelchair and Paul was extremely helpful with choosing stops where she could easily get out of the cab to take photos or browse a gift shop. He was very personable and knowledgeable.

Best tour of London - Marc took us to all the great tourist attractions in London. He was able to tell us all about the beautiful and historical locations. There were so many interesting things we learned about the history of the city. This tour was the best because of Marc’s knowledge of the London.

Everything you need to know and more. - Richard Karby is a very social and knowledgeable tour guide. Simply a walking talking encyclopedia. If you want to know about anything current or past about London or England he is your man.

Awesome service, great tour, highly recommend. - My best friend and I recently booked Marc for airport transfers from the United States and also set up a custom built historic pub tour throughout London. Can't recommend his services enough. Communication and pick up (arriving at separate terminals) was flawless and efficient. Marc was beyond friendly, knowledgeable and prompt.
The historic pub tour was fantastic. Marc took care of setting up everything from start to finish and was one of the better tours I have been on. A good deal of history and a great deal of fun ! Left the tour feeling like we were friends, not clients. 10/10 would recommend!
Also prices were very reasonable and well worth it for the services provided.

Best way to see the sights - My family of 4 really enjoyed our black cab tour with Marc. We covered so much ground, saw things we probably wouldn’t have done on our own and learned a lot. The cab is spacious and has room for 6 in the back (2 rows of three facing each other) There is a speaker in the back so Marc won’t have to yell at you over the seat and hearing him won’t be a problem. The cab was super clean and new looking and one of the best parts, it had a window where the roof would normally be so we could enjoy the many sights of London while also looking up. Marc was able to park close to the points of interest and then we’d hop out and explore a bit while he shared some information with us. It was way more relaxing than us walking all over the city and using public transportation. It’s a great first day in London activity to do to orient yourself with the city and decide which sites you’d like to spend more time at in depth and to cross some off your list.
