So you have searched for London tours and come across my page, well hopefully you will find everything you could ever need with regards London right here, whether you want a full day, half day, a Heathrow transfer and tour before checking in to your hotel or vacation residence, time in London between flights, a little bit of Harry Potter, or the 'terrible Tudors'. My aim is to really give you what you want, to tailor it to your wishes, not just another run of the mill scheduled tour, London Tours in my iconic London Taxi is what I do and what I love. Here's a little more information about myself. I'm a born and bred Londoner and have lived and worked within this great city for the majority of my life (the exception being a 4-year stint in Switzerland). Previously working within Royal Mail, followed by the Global Foreign Exchange Markets. I am now a fully qualified London 'Cabbie', qualified taxi guide, and offer private and personal tours of London and beyond in an ICONIC London black cab (not just any London Black Cab but the new Zero Emission Capable Electric Cab), neither of which I ever thought I would be doing, but I can wholeheartedly say two of the best decisions I have possibly made in my working life. Firstly becoming a 'London Cabbie' gave me the new challenge and freedom I needed and then from there getting involved in offering tours, I honestly fell in love with my hometown again whilst doing the knowledge, and showing the sights of this fantastic city and creating wonderful memories on my tours is hard to beat. My aim is to give YOU the tour that YOU want when YOU want, always keeping in mind that it is YOUR vacation and YOUR memories, and to show you the history of London, both the famous and lesser-known sites in a fun and relaxed manner. Please take your time looking at what is available in the tour section, but always remembering that my aim is to tailor each tour to YOUR own needs and requests. Remember it's . . . YOUR time, YOUR tour, YOUR memories! Licensed London Taxi Driver, having completed "The Knowledge of London" Qualified London Taxi Guide (accredited by the City University) I do not hold a Blue Badge so sadly I cannot guide inside these historical sites.

THERE IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF WALKING INVOLVED , SO IF ANYONE HAS ISSUES WALKING, OR PREFERS NOT TO, I RECOMMEND BOOKING MY 4 HOUR TOUR Join me and see all the iconic sights of London and more from the comfort of one of the Capitals biggest and instantly recognisable icons, a London Black Cab! With your Black Cab London Private Tour we will travel through the city's Roman roots, the Medieval period, right up to the modern day, no pre scripted history lessons with me though, what you will get is a fun day of information, the latest gossip and, yes, obviously history, from someone who was born, grew up and worked in all the areas we shall visit! My aim will be to keep everything light hearted and fun. We will stop for those much wanted photo opportunities and at times perhaps a small stroll to the more advantageous spots. London is an extremely busy city, so it may not be possible to cover every single Landmark in 6 hours, but I can obviously prioritise whatever is important for you

Paul is an excellent tour guide to help you see the London sights. He communicated with us in advance of the tour, which was greatly appreciated. He took the time to learn about our vacation and took the initiative to make suggestions as to how the day could be customized to suit our needs. There is so much to see in the city and so many stories to go along with the sights. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.
Paul did an amazing job today on our personalized tour! He was so kind and we enjoyed getting to know him. His knowledge and information made the tour one of our best! Thank you, Paul, for going out of your way to make this experience one we won’t forget!
Excellent experience. Nick was punctual at the cruise terminal picking up six people plus nine suitcases in a well maintained Mercedes van. He surprised us with a stop at Salisbury Cathedral which included a rare Magna Carta exhibit. Then on to Stonehenge where he had gotten skip the line tickets. He steered us to a locals pup in Eton for lunch before touring Windsor Castle. Nick was very conscientious of some of our passengers’ mobility issues as well as necessary bathroom stops. We were delivered to our London hotel on schedule. Along the way he gave us lots of good insights and welcomed questions. Highly recommended.
We loved our tour with Paul! He picked us up right at our hotel and took us all over London in his black cab that fit all five of us comfortably. We saw so many sites we could never have seen without Paul's help. He was really knowledgeable about the area, the history, current events. We were impressed by how seamlessly he navigated the busyness of London while also telling us all about what we were seeing out the windows and the sunroof. We got to stop several times and explore on foot too. We got to see the King's Troop marching, Kensington Palace, Shakespeare's Globe Theater, the clock tower with Big Ben, Tower Bridge while it was in motion, and more. My boys loved getting to see Harry Potter filming locations as well!
Fabulous tour! Highly recommend Paul V to show you the sights and sounds of London! Paul ensured we experienced a personalized tour that not only included our list of must-see London sites, but exceeded our expectations. We not only saw the changing of the guards, but watched as several groups of guards prepared for an upcoming event. Spectator! We beat the crowd for the red phone booth pic with the clock in the background.( Nicely done, Paul! ) We walked the grounds of Windsor Castle as he explained about our surroundings. Paul drove and spoke of the many sights that London has to boast about. Highly recommend Paul V!
