The Extended Ultimate London Private 8-hour Tour in a Black Cab

It’s a wonderful way to see London. Exceptional local knowledge by Dave my London cabbie. We were able to navigate through very small streets, stop and explore so many places. He even doubles as your photographer. Highly recommend this tour

If you’re coming to London and want to see everything (and I mean everything), do yourself a favor and book a day with John “JP” Parsons. JP has been driving cabs for 34 years and giving tours for the last 10 — and it shows. He’s found his calling. A true Cockney with a heart of gold, JP’s knowledge of London is bar none. From Londinium to modern-day skyscrapers, he somehow squeezes 2,000 years of history into 8 hours without ever making it feel rushed. His commentary is sharp, funny, and full of those little details that make the city come alive. And the man himself? Absolutely amazing. Personable, happy, great smile, contagious laugh — he clearly loves what he does. He’s quick to tease his American tourists (all in good fun), and it keeps the day lively and memorable. Forget the “black cab” stereotype — JP drives a sleek white cab that’s spotless, comfortable, and feels like your private lounge on wheels. Perfect for couples, it made our anniversary trip truly special. What we loved most is how he tailored the day to our interests. Royals, WWII, quirky neighborhoods — he adjusted the itinerary on the fly to match our curiosity. We saw more in one day than we could’ve managed in a week on our own. This was the capstone of our trip and hands down the best way to spend your first day in London to get the lay of the land. JP’s tour is part history lesson, part stand-up comedy, and all-around brilliant. Cheeky, charming, and unforgettable — thanks, JP, for making our London adventure one for the books!
