What a fabulous half day tour with Simon! He is so knowledgeable and friendly. Took us to many areas I had never seen. So much history presented in a fun and witty manner. I would highly recommend.

Booking the tour with Simon was the BEST decision we made for our intro to London! We dropped our luggage off at our Airbnb, and Simon picked us up right outside. We were exhausted from the trip, but Simon’s enthusiasm and good nature perked us right up! He took our family of 5 (including 3 teens) all around the city pointing out the big attractions, but more importantly taking us to fascinating, out-of-the-way highlights too! He took AMAZING and FUN family photos! Simon is so knowledgeable about the history of the city, and his delivery is entertaining and relevant. We all thoroughly enjoyed Simon’s company (even the grumpiest of the teens!) - and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to sightsee! In addition, Simon gave us a ton of pub/restaurant recommendations that were DELICIOUS! I am so glad that we booked our tour with Simon rather than doing a Hop on/Hop off tour! If we make it back to the London area - we will be contacting Simon again. Thank you!!

My husband and I had the most amazing taxi tour with Simon seeing all the wonderful sights of London! We got everything we wanted to see ticked off and also learnt so much. Simon has so much knowledge to share about the city and we learnt heaps thanks to him. He showed us around the special sights linked to the musical history as my husband is a huge fan of Beatles. We had so many lovely photos taken and loved every bit of the Taxi tour, it is definitely one of the most memorable days of our trip in the UK! Simon is absolutely wonderful and we are so thankful to have him show us around London. We highly recommend to everyone we know heading to London to do this tour. Thank you heaps Simon!

Simon...you made our time in London so memorable and we thank you so much for sharing your beautiful ciy with us!! Till we meet again!!

Simon was great from the start. He was patient while we all gathered to the meeting point, polite and friendly throughout the day. We really threw Simon a task creating a tour requesting, gangsters, villains , wall art, kings and queens, suffragettes, hidden spaces, old buildings. Well he certainly didn’t disappoint, we were entertained from the beginning to the end. He tied the first point of interest to the end thus closing the tour perfectly. He honestly threw so many points in to our trip we will be remembering bits for weeks. In all it was a fun filled fact tour round London with a great guide , hopping in and out the cab listening to Simon is a fantastic way of discovering facts, places and stories of past and present. This trip was for my dads 80th birthday. The tour entertained my parents, myself , and my teenage children so highly recommended for all! A highlight was visiting a cafe where the krays hung out for breakfast… I won’t give too much away but worth popping in for a drink and some cake. Simon you were fantastic with a great sense of humour too👍

We wish that there was a 5+ star option! This tour, and Simon specifically, was the highlight of our trip to London. The tour was thorough, and not rushed. My husband had some broad London questions, but as an enthusiastic royalist, he fielded my question, and happily so. I have to say, you will get much more than the tour description, though I don’t want to spoil anything special! We felt like VIP’s, and appreciated his vast knowledge of just not London history, but the logistics of getting to and fro, as they were changing rapidly with coronation preparations and some larger crowds and detours. We still did not miss a beat, and checked everything off our list. We feel like we have a new friend across the pond in Simon!

Simon is a great tour guide and a really good photographer too! He is punctual, friendly, helpful, and has a good sense of humor. Simon also knows London very well and showed us some hidden gems we wouldn’t have known. We went down stairs to the Thames riverside and of course saw all the famous landmarks and attractions. We spent 5 hours with him and he was very accommodating to our needs. I got to see Notting Hill from the movie and loved the area. I loved the amazing pictures he took of our family. He dropped us off Chinatown at our request at the end of the tour and recommended good restaurants for dim sum. We enjoyed his service very much that we hired him to give us a ride to Windsor Castle a couple days later. I highly recommend Simon for your taxi tour in London and nearby famous spots!

What a day! We had an 8 hour layover in London and Simon provided a wonderfully entertaining and educational tour of the city’s highlights and history. He could charge extra for his amazing photos that were included @ no additional cost. This is the perfect way to learn about London whether it’s extra time at the airport or your first day in this awesome city!
