If you’re looking for a private excursion of London, how about taking a tour in an iconic London black cab?
Discover Real London offers a fabulous range of trips including their signature Discover Real London Tour, The London De-Tour, The City Sunrise Tour and The City Highlights Tour.
For guests on longer stays, you may also be interested in their extended tours to the ancient UNESCO site of Stonehenge or the beautiful west country city of Bath.
All of the hand-selected tour guides have relevant London guiding qualifications and, of course, have completed the world-famous Knowledge of London exam (mind-blowingly, to qualify, they need to know the name and location of every street in the capital, and the shortest/quickest routes).
As these are private tours, you will have plenty of time to chat to your guide, who will stop at all of the key tour locations so there will be lots of photo opportunities.
The taxis can pick you up from 9 Hertford Street, any major airport or Southampton Docks and return you to 9 Hertford Street. They seat up to six passengers and are fully wheelchair accessible. You will be travelling in absolute comfort and sustainably as all of the vehicles are the new electric TXE taxis (with panoramic roofs so you’ll be able to see the sights from all angles). Perfect!
These tours are deservedly held in such high esteem. Recent reviews include:
“Our best decision for the trip was to book Ollie for the private tour. He took us to the best parts in London, took our family pictures at every spot we went. Very knowledgeable about the city and its history and the car is perfect, we loved it. Very friendly and welcoming, we will definitely look into doing it again when we return to London. 100% recommended! Thank you Ollie!”
“Spending 2 days with Ollie seeing the sights was a real treat! He’s beyond thoughtful, kind, funny and super smart! We learned so much and were treated like royalty!”
