Booked via Viator but found out we could have saved about $200 booking direct with Black Cab Heritage Tours website. That didn’t spoil our experience, however. Tour was scheduled to start at 7 AM, but I messaged the company and they easily accommodated an earlier start for us. We were met at Arrivals before 6 AM by our driver and guide, Ryan who did a great job with our limited time. Our early start meant we got to see Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Parliament and Westminster Abbey from the outside and get photos with no one else around. It was actually great to get an early start and avoid the crowds. Ryan’s cab was immaculately, clean and comfortable. He knew all the little spots to park close to where we wanted to walk around, which made for a very easy-going and pleasant morning. He had a great knowledge of the city and some history, and we really enjoyed our time with him. He was flexible and responsive to our needs and requests, but also had lots of great ideas for what to do in our time since we didn’t have specific items to see. Since we were so early, there was no traffic into the city from Heathrow, but we are told that that can typically take an hour of your time and it did take about an hour on our way back, so plan accordingly. Ryan had us back at Heathrow on time for our flight and we really enjoyed our day in London. Our total time from pickup to drop off was a bit under 7 hours. We highly recommend Ryan and Black Cab Heritage Tours.
