Classic London Tour
Overview
Discover London from the comfort of a private London Black Taxi. I have been a London Taxi Driver since 1994 and I am also a qualified taxi guide.
See traditional sights and iconic buildings at their very best. My routes are planned to optimise viewing and photographic opportunities whether on the move, stationary or walking around the sights. I enjoy taking photos and can help you build a memorable album of your trip.
You will discover fascinating facts about London, from its famous architecture and landmarks, to its rich cultural diversity, to its central position in relation to global history.
All this from the comfort of a personal taxi allowing the flexibility to stop and walk at interesting points yet the ability to cover large amounts of ground in short periods of time, ensuring you get the most out of your tour!

I can not say enough about how much my mother and I loved the Black Cab Classic London Tour with Peter Mulcahy. Peter is so knowledgeable and passionate about London’s history and people. He was so thoughtful to include a personal visit to the studio of violin maker Gareth Ballard, a special touch that meant the world to us as music lovers. Peter has a great sense of humor, he made us laugh to tears during our whirlwind four hour tour of hundreds upon hundreds of years of history. We see London with new eyes thanks to Peter, we cannot thank him enough for making a once-in-a-lifetime trip even more special. “As long as they gaze on Waterloo Sunset, they are in paradise...” -Ray DaviesSanti222claus

My wife, 2 small children and I had the best time touring London with Peter, he is an amazing human with an incredible knowledge of London and world history and how it relates to London, I highly recommend taking a tour with him and amazing for kids, they will learn (adults too) more history in 1 day than in 5 years of school. Thank you Peter, we will definitely call you back when we come back to London.Sunshine67805156031

Peter is awesome! Knowledgeable, funny, high energy, courteous and open to suggestion. We wanted to get the highlights of the must see places in London but also add in the various Beatles hot spots. Peter went above and beyond. He tailored the tour along the way with cool facts and locations that we weren't aware of. Not only that but to our surprise he took pics and videos that he sent to us along with links and pics pertaining to the places that we visited. Peters tour is pretty high energy so be ready to move when you get out of his cab! Although I'm sure if you need to slow it down a bit he can certainly take care of you.Joe C

Peter is fantastic. His historical knowledge is incomparable. Peter goes above and beyond to make the tour personalized, then he follows up with interesting facts for you afterwards. While in London prepare to be flexible with your tour for uncontrollable events. Construction, street closures, protest, union strikes can affect tours so be prepared to park the cab and walk or take the tube. We had a rail strike which made traffic unbearable. While Peter did everything to make his way around it, in the end it just wasn’t efficient, so we set off on foot.B3622SRgrega
