Black Cab Tour California to London for tourists, narrated by London Cabbies who are fully certified Tour Guides.

Did you know?

  • Historical Roots: The Knowledge has been a requirement since 1865. Its origins date back to a time when horse-drawn carriages were the norm, and drivers needed to be well-acquainted with London’s streets and landmarks.

  • Rigorous Preparation: On average, it takes about three to four years for a candidate to prepare for and pass The Knowledge.

  • Extensive Coverage: The Knowledge requires memorising over 25,000 streets and over 100,000 landmarks. Drivers need to know the significance and location of each landmark to answer questions effectively. Cabbies know the fastest and shortest route without any use of GPS or navigation equipment.

  • Cultural Significance: The Knowledge is considered a significant part of London’s cultural heritage. It’s often cited as a reason why London black cab drivers are so highly regarded for their expertise and customer service.

  • Lateral Thinking: Candidates must be able to demonstrate “lateral thinking” by suggesting alternative routes between two points if the most direct route is not viable. This skill ensures that drivers can navigate around roadworks, traffic jams, or other obstacles efficiently.

What an amazing tour we had with Billy.  We only had a few hours before our flight and Billy hit it out of the ballpark.  He made sure we saw as much as we could in the short time we had. He made the day amazing.  Can’t wait to go back and catch up sometime.

Billy showed our family of four around London. We learned so much and we covered a lot of ground in 5 hours. My kids ages 7 and 11 enjoyed the tour as well! Billy made a couple of unplanned stops when we needed the restroom or refreshments. I will be recommending this tour to friends!

Enjoyed the whole afternoon with Liam showing us around London.  He is friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, thorough, and we had THE BEST experience.  We saw things we would have expected to see and several we were surprised to see.  Saw many sights from unique vantage points.   The vehicle was clean and totally comfortable.  Pricing was excellent.  Don‘t hesitate to book!

Billy is a legend. If you’re looking for the perfect way to jumpstart your English holiday, this is your sign to go ahead and book his tour. I made probably one of best life decisions by choosing the Heathrow transfer with tour as I knew my hotel room wouldn’t be ready for me until the afternoon. He made my first day in London absolutely perfect. If you’re an Anglophile like me, his knowledge of all things Britannia is spellbinding! Loved every second!

Thank you Billy for giving all of us the most wonderful experience. 
Our family that are visiting us from Australia emigrated 12 years ago and this is the first time that they have returned to England.
The tour you gave us yesterday evening informed them, and of course ourselves of the history of London, that even we as Londoners knew nothing about, let alone other information.
if you were to take seperate tours to every monument, building, plaque etc it would cost you a fortune.
so please if you do want the same experience we all had please book with him.
Thank you once again for a superb tour and best if luck in your quest for more knowledge. xx
