Discover London's Best with Lee & Shane

Hop inside an iconic Black Cab for a quintessential London highlights tour that brings the city’s vibrant soul to life. Together, we’ll explore Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and The Tower of London, uncovering the fascinating stories behind each landmark. With 30 years of experience as an authentic London cabbie, I don’t just show you the sights—I share the deep history, local culture, and insider secrets that only a true Londoner knows.

Seamless Door-to-Door Service

Your experience begins with a hassle-free pickup right from your Central London hotel or apartment (arrangements can also be made for locations further afield). This is far from a standard driving tour—we’ll frequently hop out of the cab for guided strolls and perfect photo opportunities. We will also pause for a classic lunch break; I’d love to introduce you to some traditional fish and chips paired with a pint of real ale at one of my favorite historic pubs.

The Power of a Two-Man Team

The true "secret sauce" of this experience is our unique two-man approach. While my partner Shane—a fellow expert Westminster guide—navigates the city streets and handles the driving, I am completely free to give you my undivided attention as your personal step-on guide. You won't find Shane distracted by a GPS or me distracted by traffic. Instead, you get a seamless, premium experience packed with rich historical insights and a collection of witty cabbie stories.

The City on Your Terms

Traveling by traditional taxi allows us to bypass the crowds and access the "secret" London that standard tour buses miss. If there is a specific landmark you are dying to see, just let us know and I will seamlessly weave it into our route.

At the end of our journey, we’ll drop you back at your accommodation or any other spot in the city that perfectly sets up your evening plans.
