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.

The Cotswolds are officially designated as "An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty" and when you arrive you will see why. A day in the Cotswolds is like stepping back in time. We visit sleepy villages and bustling market towns with names The Slaughters, The Swells, Chipping Campden and Stow on the Wold. One of the delights of visiting the Cotswolds is exploring the different areas, each with its own identity, yet all with those defining Cotswold features: golden stone and rolling hills, the 'wolds'. Explore quintessentially English villages of honey-coloured limestone, take in splendid, lively market towns, visit some of the Cotswolds greatest palaces, castles and country houses. Some of these villages have not changed in hundreds of years. The Cotswolds is also home to two magnificent gardens that are open to the public. On route to the Cotswolds, we can also take in a short walking tour in the city of Oxford, home to the oldest English speaking university in the world.
My wife, mother and I all had a terrific day with David! He was a perfect guide and host. We learned and laughed a lot on our tour of Oxford and the Cotswold. The Cotswold area is a must see, and we highly recommend taking this tour with David. We plan on hiring his services on our next visit to the London area.
David's friendliness and knowledge of the countryside along with his expert driving encouraged a thoroughly remarkable experience. We would definitely book David for future tours should we visit London again.
David is an excellent guide—informative, amusing, accommodating, and a skilled driver. Our tour of the Cotswolds with David exceeded our expectations. It was the highlight of our trip to England. Thank you, David!

My vehicle is licensed to carry 4 passengers but on longer journeys it is more comfortable with 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children.
