Great tour - The tour was exactly what we were looking for. We didn’t have much time and thanks to Simone. We were able to see all of the landmarks in London that we wanted to along with the tremendous amount of history. This man really knows! He was also very helpful with my aunt who is elderly and had a hard time getting in and out of the taxi Highly recommended and only wish that we had called him earlier in our stay :-)

History, fun facts and secret places - Simon agreed to tailor his tour to our specific interests and desire to see the lesser known but equally intriguing spots in the city. We had a four hour tour that took us from the earliest architectural remains through to the present day. His commentary is witty and his knowledge is nearly inexhaustible. We were able to go into places most people are unaware of. We highly recommend Simon as your guide!

Amazing, comprehensive, and FUN tour in our limited time. - We were in town for only a weekend and wanted to do an overview tour. Had briefly considered a hop on/off bus tour but decided instead to do this private cab tour just for our 4-person family. I am so glad we made this decision! Simon was delightful and tailored a tour just for us that covered all the sights we wanted to see plus many extra things we wouldn't have found on our own. More nimble than a bus, the cab was just right to get us in and out of places quickly with plenty of opportunities to jump out and no waiting around. Simon is incredibly knowledgable and gave us a lot of history along the way, which we really loved and hadn't expected. But also we had fun conversation the whole time, so it was never overwhelming. I didn't expect to see the building where the Beatles played on the roof but it was one of my favorite parts of the tour. I also loved how he always knew where to park and at just the right times to catch the guard changing or to snap the perfect photo. Highly recommend for anyone who likes to learn from a local and doesn't want to be stuck on, or waiting for, a bus. Not to mention Simon's kindness, advice, and looking out for our wellbeing. Thank you, Simon!

Fun way to get introduced to the city. - Wonderful way to spend the first day in town, getting a good sense of the layout of the city. Our driver showed us around, gave us time to get out and walk a bit, introduced us to some fun sights (oldest Cigar Shop with a Winston Churchill exhibit), and taught us about his home city.

Came away more educated with the best vacation photos - Our guide was very kind and professional and offered us a wealth of information. He maximized our comfort inside that cab with information and minimized our time in the rain. We were prepared with hooded rain jackets and he didn’t hesitate for a second to hop out with us to get photos. Speaking of photos, our best and most memorable photos of the trip are the ones he took of us in front of top landmarks, with our own cell phone cameras. 10/10 recommend.
