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!

Michael was a great tour guide. Very enjoyable to be with. Black Cab was so comfortable and roomy and clean. Had water for us. Showed us the highlights of London with very interesting facts. Not a lot of walking which was a positive for us. We would recommend him.

Thanks very much for your review! It was a pleasure showing you all around my hometown. Enjoy Rome and the cruise!
In 2025 we toured London with Michael and now back again in another direction. Michael is our trusted black Taxi person and never disappoints. Hailing from Seattle, Washington USA we will use Michael's services every chance we get.

Thank you very much for your kind words! It was a pleasure showing you around my hometown. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in London!
Highly recommend. This was my second tour with Mik, and it confirmed everything I thought the first time around. The first tour was with my wife on our first trip to London. It was the very first thing we did after landing, and honestly, it set the tone for the whole trip. We were tired from the flight, but somehow he made it feel easy—fun, engaging, and relaxed all at...
