Steve was a doll. He took us to see everything we wanted - kept us off the beaten path and shared tons of historical antidotes. The kids loved it! Thanks for making the trip entertaining.

Patricia_D

Mick was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide. He knows where everything is, and has stories about it all. He Made the trip very fun and enjoyable. He made sure we got the best shots of all the photos we wanted.

It was a very detailed tour! Very knowledgeable tour guide with sense of humor. Pick up from our hotel was smooth and on time or even early. The black cab/taxi is clean! Very interesting tour! My family and I enjoyed it very very much! Very satisfied customers! Great experience! Definitely a highly recommended tour!

From the start of the convenient pick-up at our hotel, the whole tour was extremely enjoyable, informative, and great fun! Abbey Road, Baker St, & scene sites of Bond films were great to see, but our tour guide, Gordon, was the best part!! His knowledge of the tour topics is awesome, and then he enhanced it by having so many other stories, historical tidbits, anecdotes about London that were interesting and educational, pointing out many other things on the way to us first-time London tourists! He engaged fully with us the whole time, even being willing at the end of the tour to drop us at a fish & chips place, and being quite solicitous of one of us who had some infirmities. Plus, he is an excellent driver!!

Stacy_V

Jerusalem our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and kept us engaged the entire tour. He arrived at our hotel 🏨 n time. He brought a black marker so we could leave a note at Abbey Road and advised us how to get our picture.

Our driver, Andrew, was a delight. He was able to show us so many sights and he connected them to each other and to us in a personal way. When we mentioned that we were Dr. Who fans, he said, “I can show you a police box-we’re really close!” He had fun anecdotes to share and interesting video clips to accompany the stops on the tour. He took our picture at Abbey Road and had a marker for us to write on the wall. When we return to London, we will certainly request him for another taxi tour.

Our driver, Steve, was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable of the entire area showed us plenty of places not included on the tour. He was very happy to take pictures of us, especially on Abbey Road! I would hire him again anytime

Our driver was Stephen and he was excellent - very kind, polite and very knowledgeable with lots of fun stories! Excellent tour for a couple of 66 year old "groupies"!

<p>I think our tour guide was named Andrew. He was at the hotel early and cab was spotless. The tour was really well done. The guide showed us a few videos to put some of the stops into context. Not sure we really needed that. The stop at Abbey Road was a highlight and we have the pics to prove it!</p>
