I'm David S., your private tour guide in London

Guide #26798

Welcome to London – your unforgettable adventure starts here! Hello, I’m David – a born-and-bred Londoner with a passion for history, storytelling, and showing visitors the very best of this extraordinary city and country. I became a London taxi driver 27 years ago and that’s when I took a real interest in London and it's vast history. So in 2013 I became a qualified tour guide through the prestigious Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers (accredited by City University). Since then, I’ve been guiding guests from around the world through the streets of London and beyond, sharing over 2,000 years of fascinating history, culture, and hidden gems. My tours are conducted in a luxury Audi A8 long wheelbase sedan, offering up to 4 guests a smooth and spacious ride with full air-conditioned comfort. I also offer taxi tours in my modern electric iconic London taxi seating up to 6 passengers. My taxi is fully air conditioned and has a full length panoramic roof so you don't miss a thing. Whether you're looking to see London’s must-see sights or venture into its lesser-known corners, I’ll tailor your experience to suit your interests. I also offer full-day excursions beyond the capital to iconic destinations like Stonehenge and Bath, Oxford and Blenheim Palace, the Cotswolds, and many more. I pride myself on delivering friendly, informative, and flexible tours that feel more like a day out with a knowledgeable local than a standard sightseeing trip. Take a look through my tour listings – there’s something for everyone. And if you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, just get in touch. I’ll be happy to design a custom tour just for you. Qualifications: Qualified London guide (2013) – Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, accredited by City University Registered guide with ETOA (European Tourism Association) Licensed London taxi driver (Knowledge of London, 1999) Fully licensed and insured private hire and tour driver Registered private hire operator with Transport for London (TFL) Qualified private pilot and drone pilot Let’s make your visit to London truly memorable! I am not a Blue Badge Guide. If your tour includes visits to historical monuments such as Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey or Windsor Castle. I can accompany you but cannot guide you inside.

    David was a convivial conversationalist and a very informative guide. He took us by Woodhenge first, building knowledge and suspense, anf avoiding traffic. His depth of knowledge about Stonehenge was a delight.

    My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent half day trip to Hampton Court Palace with David. He timely picked us up at our London Airbnb in Mayfair and in about 50 minutes we were at the palace. (Glad we went on a Sunday morning when traffic was minimal getting there, not so much on the return though.) David gave us a terrific tour of the beautiful and historic palace...

    David is simply a fantastic tour guide and warm, welcoming gentleman. Our tour was amazing, even with the less than ideal weather. He provided an amazing day for us, and especially my father, who was quite specific about wanting to see Stonehenge on our limited time in the UK. He has a huge wealth of knowledge and knew all the answers to all of our random questions. Book...

    Hi Suzanne, Sorry for the delay in responding. Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure spending the day with you all and I’m delighted we could make Stonehenge happen despite the weather. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour and our conversations along the way.
