Black Cab Heritage Tours, founded in 2008, are the largest provider of private bespoke tours by iconic London taxi. The London black cab is consistently voted the best taxi in the world, year after year, according to CNN travel and Hotels.com.
As well as being highly skilled drivers, all our tour guides are accredited, having completed their cab guide course, and many have gone on to complete university degrees in history.
Back in 2008, three friends got together for a pint and started discussing ideas. One thing we all observed was that tourists lined up in droves on double decker hop-on-hop-off services and big tour coaches passing through the streets of London, hitting landmark after landmark in a flurry. Those visitors heard small soundbites of history in-between every stop, and most of their questions got lost among the voices of the other numerous passengers.
Smaller, private car companies delivered a check-the-box service of must-sees in London. You can see them backed-up on Tower Bridge in gridlock each day.
Travellers were booking sterile, inflexible, and hectic tours to the main sites but missing out learning about our history and seeing our local gems in an efficient and fun way!
The best tours in London don’t just visit the landmarks and points of interest, they are the stories, and the characters who tell them.
With Black Cab Heritage Tours we have created a business for guests that honors the best aspects of our city, culture, and our people AND is a high-quality experience!
A tour can be fun, entertaining, and educational, tailored to meet the needs of every guest. Do and see what you want. Do it your way.
A history buff can visit every historical landmark and get all his questions answered. A professional business couple can try to stump our driver-guide on Harry Potter trivia (not likely) while visiting platform 9 3/4, or a family can explore the Downton Abbey castle without the stress of having limited-time or being tied to a specific pick up point.
Health and safety of my guests is a top priority and I have put in place extra special measures for all future tour activities. Read our COVID-19 policy...
