Perfect London Black Cab Tour - Had an amazing day!! Jeremy was the best guide anyone could ask for. He went above and beyond to make our afternoon perfect. His knowledge of London was exquisite and so entertaining. He was so full of energy and kept the tour interesting with so many facts about each area of London and not just the main sites. Request Jeremy if you want a great informative tour of London. Highly recommend!!

Unforgettable day in London with our Cabby, Jamie - We were in London for a very short period of time, so this was the perfect tour for us. our Cabby, Jamie was extremely knowledgeable and put together a customized tour after having conversation with us. We saw all the major attractions that you would see if visiting London. Jamie went above.
and beyond showing my sons a couple of Harry Potter sites. We were able to catch the Beatles Abbey Road and see some ancient ruins, from the earliest days of London. Certainly things we would not have otherwise ever known to see on our own. It would definitely have taken several days to see what we saw in eight hours. Jamie made for an unforgettable trip and took time to take pictures of the family at every stop.

Best way to see the city is both a knowledgeable and friendly Cockney cabbie! - We booked Jamie via Viator. The high ratings did not lie! Jamie was a great driver but even better was his pleasant and open personality, flexibility, and knowledge of London. He’s not only a true Cockney, he’s a person who loves his city and it comes through. We had a thoroughly enjoyable 5 hours with Jamie. I highly highly recommend!
