Half Day Big Sightseeing Tour of London

Simon came highly recommended by a friend who had recently visited London. Let’s just say our friend has very high standards and is incredibly particular, so when he couldn’t stop raving about Simon, I knew we had to book him immediately. It ended up being one of the best decisions we made on our entire trip. My daughter and I booked a full-day Black Cab tour, and honestly, I could have spent the rest of our vacation exploring London with Simon. His knowledge of London’s history is extraordinary, but what truly sets him apart is his storytelling, warm personality, and the relationships he’s built throughout the city. Everywhere we went, it felt like he knew someone, which made the experience feel even more authentic and special. One of the unexpected highlights of the day was that Simon became our personal photographer! Instead of coming home with a phone full of selfies, he took us to the best photo spots around London and captured so many beautiful photos of my daughter and me. Those pictures are now some of our favorite memories from the trip, and we’re so grateful to have them. London’s history and traditions run incredibly deep, and Simon has a gift for bringing them to life in a way that’s fascinating, engaging, and never overwhelming. We learned so much while seeing both the iconic landmarks and hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own. Our trip is now forever divided into two parts: B.S. (Before Simon) and A.S. (After Simon). And trust me—the A.S. era is infinitely better! My husband was so disappointed he missed the tour after seeing our photos and hearing all about the experience. The good news is we’re already planning our next trip back to London, and you better believe we’ll be booking another tour with Simon. As if we’d ever do London without him now! If you’re visiting London and want an unforgettable experience, do yourself a favor and spend a day with Simon. You won’t regret it!

I had a fabulous time on my tour! Simon was so knowledgeable about everything we encountered. He was able to customize both the itinerary and anecdotes once he knew what I enjoyed, and was so helpful with accommodating my mobility issues. This is a great way to learn about London if you have trouble walking/standing for long periods. Just listen, watch, and learn, and occasionally stop to explore! I will happily do this again if I ever have the chance.

Simon was incredible!!! Visited wonderful places (Abbey Road Studios, Roman Temple in London discovered in 1954 (Mithraeum), Kensington Palace, Princess Diana Garden, et al). Very personable and professional. 2nd time touring London with Simon, and plan to do it again!!

First let me say, this was an amazing bucket list trip for my family. One of the highlights of this trip was meeting Simon. We had never been to London and I wasn't sure if I should rent a van for the days my family stayed. After looking into this, I came across Simon and his Black Cab service. After talking with him, it was a simple, easy decision. In talking with Simon, my family and I booked with him for all our transport needs. He essentially became our "private car for hire" the entire stay in London. Let me say that this was one of the best decisions we made of our whole trip. From the time he picked us up at the airport the first day, to the time he dropped us back off at the airport, he provided the best service I could have imagined. If you plan to visit London, I highly recommend working with Simon for the best tours, and transportation needs while visiting.

We had Simon pick us up from the port and then give us about a three hour tour. It was informative and a great way to get the lay of the land in London and see the major sites pretty quickly. From there, you can go back to the spots you want to revisit. Simon has a great deal of knowledge and stops at great places for photos.
