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.
