I'm Michael G., your private tour guide in London

Guide #42709

How would you like to take a trip in my time machine!? Would you like to see two thousand years of history of London from the Romans right up to the present day? I can show you around this amazing city that I was born and brought up in. You will hear about poets and playwrights, Lords and Ladies, politicians and Prime Ministers, Princes, Princesses, Kings and Queens, some with their heads and some without their heads. . . all of this is possible, and so much more! If you're interested in the history of Rock'n'Roll in London, why not go back to the Swinging Sixties with me, and then on to the seventies, eighties or nineties, and back to the present day? The vehicle I use to take my guests on a time-travelling journey is actually a London black cab. These iconic taxis are loved and trusted by London's travelling public and are regularly voted the best in the world. They are a great way of seeing the sights, and are air-conditioned with plenty of leg room. They are also wheelchair-accessible. I have been a London taxi driver since 2006 and a qualified Tour Guide since 2011 - just in time for the London Olympics of 2012, which was a magical time for all of us that experienced it. I love my hometown of London dearly, and nothing gives me more pleasure than to show visitors around what is arguably the world's greatest capital city! But my knowledge of history isn't bound by the borders of London, not by a long stretch. I have been taking my guests for many years to wonderful places such as Oxford, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Bath and the Cotswolds - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, if ever there was one! You can see all of this and more - all from the comfort of an iconic London taxi, driven by a knowledgeable, experienced, affable and personable driver - yours truly! I look forward to seeing you! Licensed London Taxi Driver (Black Cab) since 2006. Member of City of Westminster Guides and Lecturers Association, qualified 2012. Qualified Taxi Tour Guide, since 2011, with the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, accredited by City of London. Associate member of Black Cab Heritage Tours. Member of English Heritage. Member of the National Trust. Member of Historic Royal Palaces. Please note that I do not have a license to guide within St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey or the Tower of London. I can only guide in English.

    We had only a short time in London, and our guide, Mick made it count! He was incredibly knowledgeable, fun to spend the day with, and happy to adjust the tour to fit our schedule. We saw so much without ever feeling rushed. It was exactly what we hoped for.

    Thanks for your review! It was a pleasure showing you around the Beatles locations even though you were my first guest in 17 years to press McCartney’s doorbell. Safe travels!

    Mike was fabulous! He knew everything about London and made sure he shared his knowledge with us. He even referred us to a great pub that we really enjoyed. I highly recommend him for your next London tour.

    Hi Susan! It was a pleasure showing you and James around London. I hope you enjoyed the river cruise and I’m glad the Sanctuary pub was to your liking! Safe travels

    Excellent tour by a very knowledgeable, expert guide with music industry insider viewpoint and perspective. As well, Michael's abilities to navigate traffic and move along from one historical music artist home, studio or club/bar spot to the next was appreciated. In 3 hours, expect to also have a great tour thru some of London's great neighbourhoods, culture and art...
