About this tour
Explore London from the comfort of a private black taxi, with a local guide-driver and a route tailored to your interests. This four-hour London Black Taxi Tour reaches locations that tour buses and coaches cannot, giving you a closer look at the city beyond the usual sightseeing circuit.

Most vehicles are TXE range-extender hybrids and are wheelchair accessible. You can stay in the taxi or add short walks at selected stops, and groups of more than six can arrange additional taxis. At the end, return to your hotel or another agreed drop-off point.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.97 from 304 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in London
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.2. Top 2% in London means it ranks in the top 2% of tours in London by this score.
