Overview

London offers a variety of historic sites and landmarks to see by private black taxi. This two-hour tour allows up to six people to travel in a classic or electric London black cab with a local driver-guide. The itinerary is flexible and can be adjusted based on your interests, traffic, and pickup location. You can stop as often as you like to take photos or spend more time at any site. Typical stops include Buckingham Palace, where the tour usually pauses for about 15 minutes. The route often includes a short visit to St. James's Palace for around 5 minutes. The taxi will drive past Horse Guards Parade at Whitehall, with the guide providing historical commentary along the way. Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament are also common stops, each usually allowing about 10 minutes to view and learn about the sites. The taxi passes the famous Big Ben clock tower and drives around Trafalgar Square, with informative narration from the driver. If time permits and traffic conditions allow, the tour may include a brief stop of about 5 minutes at St. Paul's Cathedral. The driver can also try to include Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, spending roughly 10 minutes at the latter if possible. The driver will discuss the possible itinerary and stops with guests at pickup to tailor the tour to preferences. Hotel pickup and drop-off are offered for selected hotels, and the tour includes transport by private London black taxi with a local guide.
