    About this experience

    See top London sights from above and below ground on this private, 4-hour black cab tour! Guided by a knowledgeable and friendly driver, your tour includes a visit to London’s little-known underground tunnels beneath the River Thames, as well as visits to several vantage points around London for panoramic views. Climb the Monument to the Great Fire of London, see the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral and cross the River Thames by cable car.

    • Food and drinks
    • Gratuities
    • Entrance fees to Westminster Cathedral (approximately £2.00 per person)
    • Entrance fees to London Cable car (approximately £8.60 return per adult)

    What you'll see and do

    1. Thames River

      Arriving in a classic London black taxi, your private driver/Guide will collect you from your central London hotel, and then you’ll be on your way. Relaxing in the black cab’s comfortable seats, with air-conditioning and a glass panoramic roof, sit back and watch the sights of London pass by as your friendly Guide tells you about this fantastic city – from above and below!

      60 minutes here

    2. City of London

      While the skyline of London is rightly famous, not so many know about the city’s network of subterranean tunnels – we will stop to explore some of these fascinating tunnels underneath the River Thames, and visit an underground church crypt. Hear about the tunnels’ uses during Victorian times and learn about the secret passageways that were said to be used in the world wars.

      60 minutes here

    3. The Monument to the Great Fire of London

      After exploring below ground, head back into the daylight to continue your journey around central London. Climb the 311-step staircase inside the Monument to the Great Fire of London (or simply, ‘the Monument,’ as Londoners know it) to get great views of the City and get a certificate to prove you did it as well. Your guide will take you through City of London for an incredible view of the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral.

      1 minutes here · Admission not included

    4. Big Ben

      Marvel at Westminster’s skyline from the top of a tower and see top London attractions like Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament from this panoramic vantage point. Your tour can include a tantalizing sight of the River Thames as you cross above it by the new Thames Cable Car (extra charge) that connects London’s Royal Docks to the Royal Borough of Greenwich, on the south side of the river. This is an option to finish the tour here. After four hours of seeing London’s sights from above and below, your tour finishes back in Central London

    Have to Admit, Couldn’t Get Much Better

    Absolutely loved this half-day tour with Greg. Did you know that London taxi drivers go through 4 years of courses/training before they are able to take the roads?! The knowledge of and to the the city of London are evident from the welcome. Greg loves this city. He loves history. He loves the Beatles. From hotel pickup, Greg turned on the tunes and took us to the beginning of it all. Many tours start the tour depending on proximity of pick up. Greg told ya to settle in and sit back. He was going in chronological order to really give us the full experience. Such a gentleman, very patient for the needs of these tourists. We cannot recommend him enough. DO IT! Stop researching Beatles tours. This is the one.

    Great way to see London

    We did this tour with David and I cannot imagine a more knowledge guide. He quickly learned our interests and took us places we wouldn't have gone on our own but would definitely go again because of this tour.

    Great start to our trip!

    This was an amazing way to start our trip in London. Our taxi driver, Greg, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Can not recommend this enough!

    Wonderful tour with Greg!

    My husband, daughter and I had a fabulous London tour with Greg. He picked us up at our hotel on a rainy morning at 9AM. He was so knowledgeable and accommodating. He adapted on the fly as he became aware of our daughters interests in the royal family and Harry Potter and my husbands interests in history and music. Greg gave us the opportunity to get out of the car and do some walking, when the rain let up. His interest in the history of London was obvious, genuine and infectious. The time just flew by and before we knew it, our 4 hour tour was over. If we have the opportunity to return to London, we would certainly do another tour and request Greg. We highly recommend this tour!

    See More Taxi Tours: City Sights from Above and Below: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does See More Taxi Tours: City Sights from Above and Below cost?

    +

    Prices start at $499 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 See More Taxi Tours: City Sights from Above and Below 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 See More Taxi Tours: City Sights from Above and Below 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 19 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 See More Taxi Tours: City Sights from Above and Below?

    +

    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 See More Taxi Tours: City Sights from Above and Below 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 See More Taxi Tours: City Sights from Above and Below?

    +

    Around 7 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 See More Taxi Tours: City Sights from Above and Below 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.
