# London Classic Sightseeing Private Taxi Tour

**Guidekin's take:** See London's main sights with commentary and photo stops on a private tour for your party by taxi. Central London pickup and a finish at a location that suits you are included; it is priced per group, with a maximum of six people per taxi. 4.98 from 99 reviews at €473 per group/vehicle for 3h.

## Overview

A great private tour of London for all the family. Your London Highlights Taxi Tour will maximise the sightseeing time you spend in London and the fun you have. That’s why the London Highlights Taxi Tour is our most popular. On your 4 hour tour you will see some of the most iconic, famous historical London sights. All with a full commentary from your London Taxi Tour Guide and lots of photo opportunities on the day. If the changing of the guard is timetabled on the morning as your 4 hour tour then we can stop for 10/15 minutes to observe. Spend some of your 4-hour tours enjoying typical London pastimes, like a drink in an old London pub, tasting some great fish and chips, or visiting a London market. Just let your guide know if you would like to include any of the above on your tour.
