Spend some of your 4-hour tours enjoying typical London pastimes, like a drink in an old London pub, tasting some great fish and chips, or visiting a London market. Just let your guide know if you would like to include any of the above on your tour.

A highlight from our London trip!
We had such an amazing experience on our private taxi tour! Our driver, Lee, was right on time to pick us up from our hotel. We were already familiar with the typical London highlights, so he took us to places that were unique and interesting. He was very knowledgeable and added many interesting insights into current as well as historical London life. He got to know our personalities during the tour and took us to places he thought we might like. He was right on target! Highly recommend! And be sure to ask for Lee!
Response from the operator: Hey Marny, than you so much for the detailed feedback. You most certainly have done a good job describing what we are all about., personalized, dynamic tours, just for you! Lee will be thrilled to know you loved the tour. Thank you for choosing Visit London Taxi Tours.

Encyclopedic, Kaleidoscopic and so much more!
This was our first time with a tour like this and we found it totally fascinating. Lee was encyclopedic and kaleidoscopic in his clear love and knowledge of London: her thousands of years of history and her people…all the while smoothly negotiating the wild, crazy and continuously intense crush of city traffic, meticulously avoiding traffic jams, knowing just where to stop for the perfect photo op…we were amazed, breathless and totally relaxed during the entire ride! What’s more, he was genuine in his desire to tailor the tour to our interests…no “one-size-fits-all” this excursion!…and so additional art and gardens were found, great places for desserts, interesting pubs located near attractions we planned to visit. I really could go on, but, I’ll conclude with this final thought: no matter his salary, this witty, brilliant, gracious man deserves a raise…
Response from the operator: Oh my gosh! Such a lovely review - you have really captured us, the flexibility of our taxi tours and the standard of our guides, thank you for taking the time. Lee is very much appreciated and valued at Visit London Taxi Tours.

Great photos and great memories!
I went on the Instagram tour of secret places in London. This was the best tour I’ve ever been on. Lee was an amazing tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and great to talk to AND the best photographer. I have wonderful memories now captured in great photos. I definitely think this is the best tour in London!
Response from the operator: Hey Carrie, we are so glad you had a great time and are going home with the memories you wanted. it is our pleasure to make sure you have the best day possible. Thank you for choosing us at Visit London Taxi Tours and sharing some photos.

Uncovering the unknown in London!
Seeing parts of London that are mostly hidden rather than the usual tourist spots was fascinating. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable on the history of London and we learned a lot. He took many photos for us and some fun "Bond" style ones in front of MI5. We particularly liked the ruins of the huge Roman Amphitheatre under the Guildhall Art Gallery that we had no idea were there. Well worth doing this tour if you are interested in the history side of things.
Response from the operator: Hi Sandra, What a lovely review, thank you. Our guests do really enjoy a Secret London Taxi Tour, especially if they have hit all the big spots before. I will feed back Sam. Thank you.

Fabulous Experience worth every penny
This was our last tour in London and it was amazing! Our tour guide Lee was very knowledgeable, personable and flexible. I wish now that we had booked him for the previous day as well.
Response from the operator: Thank you for booking with Visit London taxi Tours. We are so pleased Lee gave you a great tour. It's great that you had a wonderful finish to your time in London come back and see us again and we will do it all at the start of your tour!

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Secret London Private Taxi Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Secret London Private Taxi Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $398 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 Secret London Private Taxi Tour 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 Secret London Private Taxi Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 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 Secret London Private Taxi Tour?
+
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 Secret London Private Taxi Tour 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 Secret London Private Taxi Tour?
+
Around 5 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 Secret London Private Taxi Tour 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.
