About this experience

Experience the perfect way to see many London landmarks in a short amount of time with a knowledgeable driver guide and see the most popular locations that are the essence of the city, including Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London. Half a day is all you need to taste the real London with a cabbie who knows the city inside out, hidden secrets and all where a busload of 50 people can’t. Even tips on where to grab the best coffee. You will have time for photo opportunities and short walks in iconic sights to see most of London in 4 hours, and feel free to tell your guide on the day what you would like to see and not to miss. --------------- Important: No tickets are required for this tour and you won't be entering any attractions, only passing by and stopping for photo opportunities. ---------------
