This was a great tour...
This was a great tour with Jamie. He tailored it to our interests and we got to see so much of London.

The driver made the difference for us! Thanks Jon Cox!!
We had Jon Cox as our guide. It was a terribly cold night, so driving in a cab made it much more tolerable. Jon was fantastic! Our family had witnessed a pretty horrific event that morning, and we needed Jon to keep it light and interesting without spooking our pants off. We saw many back alley spots and cool stuff like where Harry Potter stuff was filmed. At the end of the night, Jon even drove my son back to his separate apartment (we were visiting him) when he heard my son say he was going to walk from our place. Good tour, but GREAT guide. Thanks again Jon Cox!!

Pubs, spooks, gruesome tales with a pint or two = great evening of entertainment!
Our tour was wonderful. Interesting history of pubs and their spooky tales. Jon, out guide, was brilliant! Professional, courteous, informative, friendly and a pleasure to spend the evening with! Thank you so much Jon. Our experience at the beginning of a 5week UK holiday got off to a perfect start!

A great experience!
We had the best experience with Jamie. He knew all the best spots and we learned a lot of history. He even took us to one of London's best spots for Fish & Chips. He was a very fun host and I recommend a this experience to anyone visiting London! Thanks Jamie! Love your Canadian friends :)
Response from the operator: Dear Kristen, Jamie sounds like a blast of a guide. We are overjoyed that you learned about all the best spots and history and that you even got to go to the best Fish and Chips spot. Sounds like a treat! thank you so much for sharing your account of your day and for shouting out Jamie. He will be glad to know how much you enjoyed your time with him. We hope to welcome you back on another Black Cab Heritage Tour, warmest wishes!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour of Haunted London in a Black Cab: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Private Tour of Haunted London in a Black Cab cost?
+
Prices start at $399 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 Tour of Haunted London in a Black Cab take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Tour of Haunted London in a Black Cab worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 Tour of Haunted London in a Black Cab?
+
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 Tour of Haunted London in a Black Cab suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour of Haunted London in a Black Cab?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour of Haunted London in a Black Cab 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.
