Tour guide was nice & knowledgeable enough. Viator just hired a taxi driver to do this tour & he didn’t even have the list of stops to bring us to. There are so many stops on this tour in 2 hours you are driven in hyper drive & don’t have many picture opportunities. I wouldn’t recommend it directly after a 10 hour flight.

I booked two taxis for a tour of London for my whole family over Christmas, as I had family visiting from the USA who were eager to ‘see the sights’.

The taxi driver tour guides, Gary and Pat, were very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. They made the trip one to remember and curated it to the sights we most wanted to visit.

Gary even went the extra mile and gave my nephew - who is autistic and has a deep seated passion for London, its geography and its history - his personal book about London, which my nephew read immediately on the train home.

I would highly recommend to anyone considering booking the tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed our private city tour with Walter. He showed us around London stopping at numerous sites, sharing local history and stories with us - the perfect intro to our Christmas holiday in London!

Everything about experience was perfect. John treated us like his own family and took great care of us. John tailored our experience to our requests and gave us an amazing historical perspective on it all. Thank you, John! Olivia and I had the best first day in London because of you!

We had a great time on the tour with Stuart! It was a very fun way to see the city. He took us to the spots we wanted to see and to some unique spots that he picked out as well. The tour was excellent, and Stuart was an excellent tour guide. He appreciated his wit and his conversation.

Stu was a wonderful guide. We started at the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey and then headed through the tony sections of London. We even stopped in at Huntsman on Savile Row. The highlight for our family was a drive-by of a famous haunted house, which my husband visited as a young boy. He’d told our son about the house over the years, and our ghost tour guide mentioned the house in passing the previous night. We also saw Buckingham Palace on the way back to the hotel.

While we enjoyed seeing the sights, we especially appreciated Stu’s knowledge of the city. He gave us excellent dinner recommendations for our last two nights in London, and his advice was invaluable with regard to our heading to the airport. Thanks to Stu, we managed to avoid a large demonstration that passed by our hotel and made it to the airport without any stress.

We had a great experience with Stuart! He was very knowledgeable and took us to the classic London sites and a few others off the beaten path. We appreciated his friendly personality and it’s clear he loves what he does.

We had the honor of riding with Gary on our first day in London. He was so informative and fielded all our questions with grace. He also allowed us to customize our tour so we ended it near the Tower of London where we spent the rest of the day without him (although I wish he came along). I travelled with 3 other family members and there was lots of legroom in the can for all of us. Gary was also kind enough to extend our tour a bit to show us more historic parts of London. If you’re booking this tour, definitely try to book with Gary! I cannot commend him enough for the lovely morning traversing London.
