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.

Michael G was an exceptional tour guide. He offers many specific tours, including the James Bond tour, a Beatles tour and a Sherlock Holmes tour. I asked him if we could make the tour we were going on custom, with some things from all the above. He was very accomidating to us and did that. His knowledge and the way he communicated the information was fun and engaging! One...

Mick did a great job on the tour. The cab was well maintained and comfortable. He provided extensive information on all the sites and in the end provided us a ride to our hotel. Would recommend this tour to others.

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.

August 2026Thanks 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!
