Discover London's Best with Lee & Shane

Hop inside an iconic Black Cab for a quintessential London highlights tour that brings the city’s vibrant soul to life. Together, we’ll explore Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and The Tower of London, uncovering the fascinating stories behind each landmark. With 30 years of experience as an authentic London cabbie, I don’t just show you the sights—I share the deep history, local culture, and insider secrets that only a true Londoner knows.

Seamless Door-to-Door Service

Your experience begins with a hassle-free pickup right from your Central London hotel or apartment (arrangements can also be made for locations further afield). This is far from a standard driving tour—we’ll frequently hop out of the cab for guided strolls and perfect photo opportunities. We will also pause for a classic lunch break; I’d love to introduce you to some traditional fish and chips paired with a pint of real ale at one of my favorite historic pubs.

The Power of a Two-Man Team

The true "secret sauce" of this experience is our unique two-man approach. While my partner Shane—a fellow expert Westminster guide—navigates the city streets and handles the driving, I am completely free to give you my undivided attention as your personal step-on guide. You won't find Shane distracted by a GPS or me distracted by traffic. Instead, you get a seamless, premium experience packed with rich historical insights and a collection of witty cabbie stories.

Our customers say...

"My husband and I brought our 12 year old grandson to London for a surprise trip. We booked a drive to Oxford & the Cotswolds with Albion Touring prior to our arrival. On the day of departure our driver Chris (also Albion’s owner!) arrived spot on time. From the minute we left the doorstep of our flat Chris narrated our drive and brought the history of London from Roman times alive for all of us but especially for our grandson. In Oxford Chris took us thru the city telling us some of the most interesting tales. He engaged our grandson on his level and was constantly asking after our comfort. We saw several villages in the Cotswolds and upon learning that we were cheese lovers to us to his favorite cheese shop. I needed supplies from the local pharmacy and he carried those for me in the village and even ran them back to the vehicle. He went out of his way to take us to the The Kings Men Circle of Stones. A smaller Stonehenge with fabulous legends and we loved it. If you are considering booking a drive with Albion don’t hesitate. I would do this again and again! "

"That man is a GEM – don't let him go away. During our week long stay we spent time with a handful of guides – London Walks, three EF guides, a Blue Badge and several others, but I will state with utmost certainty that not one of them was as genuinely interested and willing to make our day perfect as Chris. He set us at ease straight away with his warmth and down-to-earth personality and proceeded to entertain and enthral us with tales and trivia the whole day through. He asked just enough questions to get an idea of our interests and then managed to please everyone. What a perfect way for us to spend our last day in England...thank you for assigning him to our group...please, please give Chris a gigantic thank-you from us all."
