My parents and I did a three-hour tour with Steve Bates, who was super knowledgeable and gave us a fun, in-depth tour of London. He was able to cater the tour to our specific interests, and his historical knowledge appears to be endless! We drove around and got out for some interesting stops, where Steve brought all the historical sites to life. There's so much more to London's history than I ever imagined, and even my friends who grew up in London were impressed with how much we learned from just a few hours with Steve. A very warm and funny guy who clearly loves what he does and is really good at it — would highly recommend!

What a magnificent tour. My husband and I have been to London many times over the years but we learned so much more about London from Steve. He brought already familiar places to life by conveying their "backstory", the kinds of things you don't read about in a travel guide. The already familiar places sprang to life and acquired more dimensions. The tour was fascinating from start to end and seemed perfectly tailored to our energy and interests. Steve is absolutely delightful and we're sending all of our friends to him. And we're taking another tour with him so that we can visit even more London sites. What a luxurious way to tour London.

What a fantastic way to see your special London spots! Our driver Steve customized our short tour and hit so many great spots that meant a lot to our group. Steve is very knowledgeable about London and managed to fascinate, thrill and surprise every one in our group (aged 14 yrs to 62 yrs). That's a big age gap, but we were all impressed. We had extra time where we wanted it, and less time where we didn't, which is the best feature of this tour company. We told Steve we wanted history, the royal spots, Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes and he did it all! And he's very amusing when he shares the 'knowledge' of London. When my teenage granddaughter giggled and screamed, I knew this was a great idea. Oh, and yes, my daughter and I also giggled and screamed at the places we saw.

Top Class Black Cab Tours are just that... top class all the way. We have had the pleasure of their services several times over the years, most recently October 2022. We booked 2 long-distance transports and the "Greenwich" and "Off the Beaten Path" tours. All the drivers we've had (Bob, Jimmy, Steve, Mick and Gerry) are all wonderful. Their expertise and engaging personalities made the experiences pure delight. A special shout-out to Sylvia the General Manager who is most accommodating and keeps it all running like clockwork. Book your tours with Top Class, this company does not disappoint; they take excellent care of their customers!

Our personal tour with Mick Turner elevated our trip to nothing less than epic, and was the highlight of our trip!
Mick is a genuinely nice man who is incredibly knowledgeable, has an awesome sense of humor, and clearly loves what he does. It felt like we were visiting a good friend who was happy to show us around his hometown of London, as he shared it’s beauty and history with us.
Our tour began during the day and lasted well into the evening, giving us wonderful opportunities to see everything we had asked for, but Mick made our time with him even more memorable by surprising us with fun stops and photo ops at the homes and workplaces of some of London’s truly iconic artists and heroes.
We thoroughly enjoyed every moment.
Mick is simply the best!

Bob was amazingly experienced and friendly guide. Although I was travelling alone, a fee per car not per person deserves paying. He sometimes guided me on foot through a narrow path where black cab couldn't enter. I could know about the history of London. It was totally an interesting tour.

Every minute of our personalized tour of London with driver Mick Turner was memorable fun !
We quickly realized Mick is a doppelgänger of rock star, Sting, and he decided we reminded him of the Shirelles and that set the tone for the next few hours of our absolutely Top Class Black Cab Tour. As we learned fascinating historical facts of all things London we laughed & chatted and felt like we’d made a new friend. Five days packed to the brim in London but this tour was by far the most favorite thing we did !
Worth every penny in part because of Mick’s caring attitude towards us as human beings not just paying customers. During the tour one of our group briefly became ill and Mick could not have been more kind. He even bought me tea!
To top all this we learned Mick is a black belt and a very proud happily married father of two young professionals. It’s like we got to know the city of London through a person we learned to admire and made us laugh. It was wonderful.

WOW, what an awesome afternoon with Steve Wright! Steve was so personal he was like an old friend and his knowledge of London was astounding! I have been to London many times but on this tour I saw more and learned more about London than all my other visits combined. If you want to see a ton of London, eat excellent fish and chips and even make personal stops if needed (I had to visit a bank and a couple friends which Steve made happen with ease) this is the best tour! It made our layover at LHR a memory we cherish not a dreaded one. If you need more time than your tour is scheduled for, their additionally hourly rate is very reasonable. I will certainly use Top Class Black Cab Tours again. Thank you Sylvia for all your help putting this together! Seth J.

Our guide, Steve, planned a personalised tour which took into account the whole family, ranging from 8 to 67 years old. He was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and we saw and learned many new things. We will definitely be coming back!

My mother and I took the 3 1/2 hour tour that was absolutely beautiful. Our driver Steve was the consummate professional and although it was just two of us, he gave us the complete tour along with allowing us to take pictures. He also took us to the best fish and chips place. It wast delicious! We highly recommend!!

what would be the cost for 4 people for an 8 hour private tour in late November?
Written June 22, 2016
The cost is the same for 1 person or 4. You must contact Top Class Tours for their prices depending on the type of tour you choose to take.

My spouse and I are arriving at LHR on Oct 18 around noon and were thinking of trying the Dutch Flyer express that leave out of Liverpool station at 19:32. I was wondering if we could use a Black Cab Tour to help us with the transport as well as include some tour time on the way to make it more interesting and to fill some of the time. We each would have 1 large and 1 small bag
Written October 2, 2015
Hello,
We can collect you from Heathrow and have a tour ready for you. I suggest the Grand Classic tour, but we can adapt this if you have any preferences. Please have a look at the range of our tours.The time fits well with not being too rushed when you arrive at Liverpool street station. Please email your details via our website (Tripadvisor will not allow me to place links here) Kind Regards, Top Class Team
