A black taxi tour of London combines the iconic image of the city’s private cabs with the unparalleled knowledge of the drivers and the incredible stories they share. The elements that make a city include architecture, culture, and people, and the cab drivers are a fundamental part of London’s atmosphere, their knowledge competing with and even surpassing the most well-seasoned tour guide.
London is a monument to history and success, imperial grandeur and contemporary ambiance, making it one of the most visited cities in the world. But it is not the city itself that will introduce you to the millennia layered among the cobblestone streets. Instead, it’s how you engage with the city that matters.
The exam to become a cabby is considered one of the most difficult in the world and demands years of rigorous study to memorize the city’s 25,000 labyrinthine streets, numerous businesses, and coveted landmarks. A tour in a memorable black cab gives you a perspective of London unlike any other, while opening your eyes to the importance of a unique tradition.
