Quick update

Posted by Steve on Thursday, 13 June 2013

Hello Everyone,

I’ve lots to tell you about since my last blog. The tours are going well – check out the reviews on Trip Advisor. Thanks to the reviews coming in from all around the world including the USA, Malaysia, Canada and Malta as well as closer to home, London Cabbie Tours is rated 93 out of 431 activities in London! This means I have achieved my first aim which was to be in the top 100.

My tours appeal to all ages – from my youngest passenger of 4 years old, right up to the grand age of 90 years old (can anyone beat that)! I am able to cater for any age and any disability as the cab has a ramp for wheelchair access with plenty of room inside.

I excel at being one man, one cab. Being able to tailor the tour to any requests is a unique element of my business.

Leave the tour bus behind and enjoy YOUR tour, viewing the sites YOU want to see, in the comfort of a London Taxi with London Cabbie Tours.

My brother and I decided to take our mother to London for her 70th birthday treat. As she had not been to London before and we were there for only two days I looked into guided tours. My mother is partially disabled so a walking/tube tour was out of the question. After a couple of Google searches I stumbled upon Steve's website. I emailed Steve with regards the whistle stop tour as my mother was keen to see the major sights such as Buckingham palace and Westminster Abbey. After a few email exchanges Steve planned a personalised tour for mum in two hours. We were picked up at our hotel as promised, by Steve and the moo cab. The whole two hour experience far surpassed my greatest expectations. Steve was very knowledgeable on the historic facts as well as full of little known humorous historic stories. The perfect balance of history and humour. From start to finish we were enthralled and entertained. I can’t thank Steve enough and I can’t recommend his services highly enough. Well done Steve and thank you.

I booked Steve tour as a surprise for my two sisters and a friend on our weekend away 27th April 2013. Steve made contact with me so I could advise him the type of itinerary we wanted. Steve picked US up in his cow cab exactly at the time arranged. We immediately felt at ease with Steve, and true to his word he had completed a great itinerary for US, which actually took US over the 4 hrs agreed with no extra charge. Steve made US all feel so special, he was attentive to our needs, a true gentleman, was on hand to take photos and so very flexible in meeting our every need. The tour consisted of a mix of history, main tourist attractions, great stories and a glance behind the scenes that you would never get on the bus tours. By the end of the tour Steve felt part of the family he was so good to be with. I am confident that no-one will be disappointed with the custom made tour just for you. Thanks Steve and will be in touch next time we are in London for more. Angela

Just visited my daughter ( age 30 ) in London this Bank Holiday weekend accompanied by my mother ( age 90) and booked the London Taxi Tour with Steve for 2 hours. The whole experience worked very well for us all. Steve arrived exactly on time and was incredibly personable making it very comfortable to be in his company. He was most helpful and accommodating towards Grandma and her needs which was key for the trip. He was knowledgeable in his delivery of historical facts which he mixed with humour and was a competent raconteur. I would recommend using this Taxi Tour to anyone wishing to have a tailor made experience of London and some of its lesser known secrets ! I would have no hesitation in booking this private tour again in the future.

My husband and I had just recovered from surgery, and my dad was in town from California to look after us. We wanted a tour that would allow us to go and see things, but without a lot of walking. We also put in a special request to Steve to focus our tour on Roman London. He met our expectations on all accounts! Roman London is a passion for Steve as well and he was able to get us into a site that isn't normally open to the public. I know my Dad absolutely loved seeing this part of London that not everyone knows about, and my husband and I were essentially able to take it easy. Thanks Steve for a fabulous tour! Can't wait to book again soon...

I loved the tour. Steve allowed us to provide him with some ideas of which type of places we wanted to see. As my boyfriend is into rock music and it's history in London, we went to various famous rock stars houses and studios. We also chose to see the oldest pubs in London and haunted places. It was fabulous! We will definitely use Steve again in the future!

We loved the tour. I took my daughter (7 months pregnant) and granddaughter (aged 3) for the two hour tour. Steve was there waiting for us even though we were early and took us to see all the sights even though it took an extra forty minutes because of heavy traffic. Steve is very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting with his stories and little known facts.

I would thoroughly recommend a tour with Steve, he is a lovely man that you know you will get on with from the minute you meet him. He goes the extra mile to take photos for you, get the best views even almost getting towed away for stopping where he shouldn't!

Fantastic Steve, thanks for a great time!

“I just wanted to say thanks again for a fantastic tour of London. You really made the weekend for all three of us. It was the perfect mix of history, stories and humour. It surpassed all my expectations. I can’t thank you enough!”

We found the walking tour of Borough and Southwark so interesting and saw many historic places tucked awaythat wouldn't normally be found. Steve's knowledge of these places and the history behind them is fantastic!

"This is the best tour I have ever done! The cow car is so cool and not only attracts a lot of interest but looks amazing in all my holiday photographs. Steve is a fountain of knowledge and very accommodating - we saw all the landmarks from the comfort of the cab and surrounded by my 4 best friends. It's a must for all visitors! Enjoy..."
