About this experience
THERE IS MODERATE WALKING INVOLVED , SO IF ANYONE HAS ISSUES WALKING, OR PREFERS NOT TO, I RECOMMEND BOOKING MY 4 HOUR TOUR See all the iconic sights of London and more from the comfort of one of the Capitals biggest and instantly recognisable icons, a London Black Cab! With your full day private tour we will travel through the city's Roman roots, the Medieval period, right up to the modern day, taking in the major sights of St. Pauls, Tower of London, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace plus some lesser known places. Take some time out to have a break in a traditional London pub, some dating back to the 17th Century. Throughout the whole tour my aim will be to keep everything light hearted, fun and memorable on each of the places we visit. We can always stop for those much wanted photo opportunities and a small stroll to the more advantageous spots. Please remember this tour can be totally bespoke and therefore totally tailored to your requirements

What you'll see and do
Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of the UK’s sovereigns since 1837 and today is the administrative headquarters of the Monarch. Today, Buckingham Palace is very much a working building and the centrepiece of the UK’s constitutional monarchy, it serves as the venue for many royal events and ceremonies from entertaining foreign Head of States to celebrating achievement at Investitures and receptions.

As the home of several members of the Royal Family and their household offices, St James’s Palace today hosts up to 100 receptions each year for charities associated with members of the Royal Family.

Houses of Parliament
The Palace of Westminster, to give it its official name, serves as the meeting place for both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Both Houses work on behalf of UK citizens to check and challenge the work of Government, make and shape effective laws, and debate/make decisions on the big issues of the day.
15 minutes here · Admission not included
Westminster Abbey
The Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066, and is the final resting place of 17 monarchs, as well as the scene of 16 Royal weddings. The church we see today was begun by Henry III in 1245. It’s one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, and has the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint at its heart. Today it is still a church dedicated to regular worship and to the celebration of great events in the life of the nation. Neither a cathedral nor a parish church, Westminster Abbey (or the Collegiate Church of St Peter, Westminster to give it its correct title) is a "Royal Peculiar" under the jurisdiction of a Dean and Chapter, subject only to the Sovereign and not to any archbishop or bishop.
15 minutes here · Admission not included
St. Paul's Cathedral
For more than 1,400 years, a Cathedral dedicated to St Paul has stood at the highest point in the City. Frequently at the centre of national events, traditions have been observed here and radical new ideas have found expression under the iconic dome. In many cases these events have left some physical record as well as echoes in the intangible memory of the building. The present Cathedral, the masterpiece of Britain's most famous architect Sir Christopher Wren, is at least the fourth to have stood on the site. It was built after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666, and services began in 1697. This was the first Cathedral to be built after the English Reformation in the sixteenth-century, when Henry VIII removed the Church of England from the jurisdiction of the Pope and the Crown took control of the life of the church.

Tower of London
A Palace, a Prison, a place of Execution! An Armoury, an Observatory, and a Royal Zoo. 3 Queens of England lost their heads here - Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard and Lady Jane Grey. The Tower is where the Crown Jewels are kept (used in all coronations of our Kings and Queens).

Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge has become a recognisable London landmark. It is sometimes confused with London Bridge, about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) upstream, which has led to a popular urban legend about an American purchasing the wrong bridge. Several stunt pilots have flown underneath the bridge.

Great Guide
Paul was absolutely excellent. He treated us with respect and we were so comfortable with him. He had a great deal of knowledge and taught us so much about London and he helped us with anything that we needed. I would highlyrecommend Paul.

Great Tour to start the New Year.
Great tour to start the New Year. He was on time for pickup. Went over what we've already seen and experienced and he tailored the tour based on that. Sprinkled some US history into the sites we visited as well.
Response from the operator: So glad you guys had a great time, and thank you so much for the 5* Hopefully see you again on your next visit!

Unforgettable London Adventure
As a first-time tourist in London, I knew I wanted to see all the iconic sites around the city. Knowing how time-consuming the trips would be and the fact that one of my family members had difficulty walking for long periods of time, we chose to go sightseeing with the Bespoke Black Cab Tours. That's how we met Paul, who showed us all around London, adjusted the itinerary to our needs and requests, and made this journey one of the most memorable moments of our entire stay. Not only did we see the Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral, and many more beautiful places, but Paul was an amazing companion, and the conversations were pleasantly never-ending. He planned the whole trip, knowing which sites would be less crowded at what time, and gave us tips for the next days of our stay. We've spent the day in an exquisite, comfortable, and light-hearted atmosphere.
Response from the operator: it was an absolute pleasure! I am so glad you had a great time, and thank you so much for the 5*

The best way to see London
Paul was absolutely outstanding from our first interaction online, to setting up a unique day (since we’d ventured out and already seen some things) through to the day itself. We felt like we were old friends almost from the beginning. We had such a great day and saw so many things - everything on our “must see” list and more. We highly recommend Paul the next time you are in London, and we know we will be reaching out to Hume again next time we are there.
Response from the operator: it was an absolute pleasure, I had an absolute blast with you all day, look forward to the next time

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6 hour London Private Tour, with your own Black Cab Tour Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does 6 hour London Private Tour, with your own Black Cab Tour Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $795 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6 hour London Private Tour, with your own Black Cab Tour Guide take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is 6 hour London Private Tour, with your own Black Cab Tour Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6 hour London Private Tour, with your own Black Cab Tour Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 6 hour London Private Tour, with your own Black Cab Tour Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6 hour London Private Tour, with your own Black Cab Tour Guide?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 hour London Private Tour, with your own Black Cab Tour Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
