What To Expect
Guildhall
View only unless on 4 hour tour. Discover the magnificent Guildhall, the historic headquarters of the City of London Corporation, where the Square Mile has been governed for over 600 years. This grand medieval complex has witnessed royal receptions, state banquets, high-profile trials, and centuries of civic decision-making that helped shape London into a global financial power. From its impressive Great Hall to its Roman remains beneath the building, Guildhall reveals the deep roots of the City’s independence and influence. A visit to this remarkable site is exclusively included on the 4-hour tour, offering a deeper insight into the traditions, power, and pageantry of London’s ancient governing body.
Royal Exchange Building London
View only - At the heart of the City of London, the world’s historic financial district, stands the magnificent Royal Exchange. Founded in the 16th century, this grand neoclassical building became the centre of global trade, where merchants and financiers shaped the expansion of the British Empire. Surrounded by the Bank of England, Mansion House, and towering modern skyscrapers, this area tells the story of how London grew from a Roman trading post into one of the world’s most powerful financial capitals. Here, fortunes were made, empires funded, and global markets influenced. Today, the contrast between historic architecture and cutting-edge finance perfectly captures London’s unique blend of tradition and modern power.

Black Cab to the Rescue

5.00My adult daughters and I spent our last full day touring the iconic London sights with Chris, our guide, in the comfort of a black cab. We had spent 8 days in rural villages walking and hiking, so the ‘rest’ was welcome. Chris was very flexible with our pick up point due to a tube strike that affected our travel to/from the city center. His extensive knowledge of London, the sights, etc. was extremely valuable. We will book Chris again when my husband and I return.
The best way to kick off your visit to London!

5.00It was our first trip to London and we only had a day and a half. We booked a four hour tour with Andy Wilkins. It was excellent. He picked us up from our hotel, drove us to all the amazing sites in his beautiful, clean black taxi. He gave us a history lesson, had a great sense of humor, took a ton of pictures of us. And had us wanting for more. He then returned us to our hotel. We definitely recommend Andy and the iconic London Taxi tour!
Exceptional Tour with a Truly Thoughtful Guide

5.00The Iconic London Taxi Tour was truly exceptional! I booked a 3-hour private tour for my mom, sister, and me, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. My mother has mobility challenges, so we brought a mobility scooter along with us; something we were initially concerned about, but the classic black cab was incredibly spacious and accommodated everything comfortably. We were able to see all of London’s most iconic sights while learning fascinating history and local insights that helped shape the rest of our trip. What made the experience truly special, though, was our guide, Chris Heerey. He was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely kind, going above and beyond to ensure my mom was comfortable and that we all had an unforgettable experience. We’re so grateful for such a thoughtful and well-curated tour. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a personalized and accessible way to explore London!
London with Andy

5.00Andy Wilkins was, without question, one of the highlights of our time in London. From the moment he picked us up, everything felt seamless … thoughtfully paced, deeply informed and so enjoyable. His knowledge of the city goes far beyond the surface. He brings London to life. Every street, every landmark, every turn carried context, history and insight that made us see the city differently. If you have the opportunity to spend a day with him, take it. It will shape your entire experience.
