Perfect tour guide!

Simon was a perfect tour guide! Patient, knowledgeable, super fun and very accommodating. Any time I’ll ever need another tour guide in London I’ll make sure to book with him again. Highly recommend!

Cheers to girls 1st London trip

Our tour with our new favorite London guide Simon was, without a doubt, the highlight of our day! He had us laughing from start to finish with his incredible sense of humor while keeping us completely engaged with fascinating stories and history about every building, palace, and cathedral we visited. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling brought London’s history to life in a way we’ll never forget. We’re so grateful we happened to stumble upon him—it was one of the best parts of our entire trip. We will absolutely be recommending him to everyone we know, and the next time we’re in London, there’s no question who we’ll be booking with. Thank you for making our visit so memorable “Simon says”! Truly the best

Memorable Last day activity in London

Our black cabbie driver Simon was amazing. So kind to all our family from Orlando, Florida. Great sense of humor with a strong knowledge of history that he shared during the 3 hr ride. Time went so fast it was a fantastic experience. Thank you for making our last day in London so memorable. He knows the best places for pics too!

Girls Gone Wild!!

Simon was the absolute best and I couldn’t recommend anyone else to give you a tour of this amazing city. He is so knowledgeable and just such an amazing person to show us around. I would recommend for anyone to go with him next time I am in London, I will definitely book with him!!!! He picked up me and my three other girlfriends from the airport and drove to drop us off at our flat. He made so many fun stops along the way and made it so special for us so we were so excited to be here! I would not recommend any other way to go then Go London Taxi Tours!!

Private Black Cab Tour of London's Iconic Landmarks: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

How much does Private Black Cab Tour of London's Iconic Landmarks cost?

+

Prices start at $315 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 Private Black Cab Tour of London's Iconic Landmarks take?

+

Plan for about 3 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 Private Black Cab Tour of London's Iconic Landmarks worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 170 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 Private Black Cab Tour of London's Iconic Landmarks?

+

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 Private Black Cab Tour of London's Iconic Landmarks suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Private Black Cab Tour of London's Iconic Landmarks?

+

Around 59 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Black Cab Tour of London's Iconic Landmarks 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.
