Central London pickup and drop-off, bottled water and USB charging are included; sightseeing is external only, with no entry to the main sites, and it is priced per group. 5 from 47 reviews at €594 per group/vehicle for 6h. ## Overview The best way to see London is from an iconic London Black Cab. Add to this a qualified driver/guide and you have the full package. London Cabbies face one of the strictest and toughest examination processes known colloquially as The Knowledge. It can take up to 3 years for them to learn every road, street, lane, alley, bar, restaurant, statue, apartment block, Police Station, hotel, church, government building, train station, literally anywhere a paying customer would wish to be taken. They also need to know the quickest route. On top of all that your driver is also a qualified guide having completed a written and oral exam through the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers. You will travel from west to east and get to feast on all the history, heritage and culture this vibrant city has to offer. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: from 1143 pickup points - Starts 09:00, 09:30, 10:00: 3 departures a day - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age rule: Specialized infant seats are available ## Key facts - Price: from €594 per group/vehicle - Duration: 6h - Rating: 5.0/5 from 47 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 100% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Cabital City Tours London ## What's included - Bottled water - Pick up from any central London location - Air-conditioned vehicle - USB charging points on board the vehicle - Drop off at your desired central London location ## Not included - Gratuities - We do not enter any of the main sites.
