Fun and knowledgeable guide! - We had a great trip in Simon's Cab! He is incredibly knowledgeable and funny, friendly and interested. We have been to London a few times, but got to see new areas and learn a lot of the history of the various places. Definitely worth the money.
He also took great photos along the way.
Recommended as a start to your London stay 😃

Truly great tour experience - Simon (our guide) was simply perfect. The type of tour you hope you’ll get but don’t expect. He knew the best places to go and get pics. Had insight into all the different parts of the city. He made our trip truly memorable. Absolutely the highlight of a week in London.

Simon is the Best - We're 2 couples on our first trip to London. We took this tour on our first day in London. In three hours, we saw just about every landmark on our list. A great way to orient ourselves so that we could go back and visit some of those places to explore more fully. Simon was awesome. Knowledgeable, funny and a true pleasure for the morning. Thank you, Simon

Great way to explore the city - Simon is a wonderful city guide and answers all questions in a friendly and competent manner. Our children (14 and 10) were able to understand a lot of things straight away and we translated the rest for them. In the 3 hours, they drove past almost all of the obligatory sights, stopped to take photos and explained the background. For us, this type of city exploration was worth every penny!

Highly recommended tour - I did the tour with my husband and 12 year old daughter and we had the most terrific guide Simon. He showed us all the main sights and shared so much knowledge with us. It was entertaining and fun and we went at a great pace. We saw so much. And Simon took lots of photos for us, and it was such a nice treat to have family photos with us all in it. Such a fun experience. Simon was recommended to me by a friend who did his tour and in turn I will be recommending Simon to others I know visiting London.

Informative and entertaining tour. Highly recommend. - Simon was an enthusiastic and informative tour guide. He lead us to important landmarks and told us facts that we would have never known without going on the tour. My family and I went to interesting destinations such as Big Ben, a spray painting tunnel, castles, cathedrals and more.

Excellent Tour, Amazing Guide - My wife and I visited London for our babymoon and decided to book a private cab tour to help us get the lay of the land. Simon was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. He tailored the tour to show us as much as possible, including the iconic landmarks. He gave a lot of history along the way and took a ton of great pictures for us. Absolutely 10/10 - thank you Simon for an amazing experience!

Excellent and highly recommended option to visit London - Excellent knowledge of the city, especially the key places, not visited by the large number of tourists at New Year's Eve. He took photos of us with the emblematic buildings in the background, without people around.
Personally, Simon is a very friendly person and flexible to changes in the itinerary he prepared. always with a good attitude

Fabulous morning exploring London - Stephen was absolutely excellent on our tour of London. He took my son and me all around the best sights, sharing interesting information about London and its history. He was particularly great with my 9 year old son, sharing facts that kept him interested throughout the tour. We will definitely use Stephen again upon our return to the UK, and would recommend to our friends and family.
