Black Taxi Tours
Private tours in iconic London black cabs, led by expert guides who know the city's best-kept streets, stories, and stop-offs. Door-to-door comfort for families, couples, and groups who'd rather look out the window than at a map.
Family-run since 2011
The London black cab is an icon in its own right. Roomy enough for a family, nimble enough for the narrowest Soho lanes, and driven by someone who has passed The Knowledge, the legendary exam that requires memorising 25,000 streets and 100,000 landmarks across the capital. Our black cab tours pair that navigational mastery with an expert Tally Ho guide, giving you the best of both worlds: insider access and door-to-door comfort.
These are private tours, designed around your group and your interests. Your guide will shape the route on the fly: Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament for the landmarks, Bermondsey and Borough for the food, Hampstead and Primrose Hill for the views. You set the tone, and the cab takes care of the rest.

Why a black cab?
London's black cab drivers are the only people in the world required to memorise an entire city before they can start work. The Knowledge takes years to learn and covers every street, square, and shortcut in the capital. When you pair that with a Tally Ho guide who knows the history, the stories, and the hidden details, you get a tour that goes places other operators simply cannot reach.
A black cab tour is the most comfortable and accessible way to see London. No walking stamina required, no weather worries, and the cab picks you up and drops you off wherever you need. Ideal for families with young children, guests with mobility considerations, or anyone who wants to cover more ground without breaking stride.
