Hi, I'm Ray! My tours offer a fun and relaxed style of bespoke and unique content. I am flexible to accommodate any of your interests and cultural insights. The best way to describe my tours is that I will "hold your hand" for the day, have unlimited photo opportunities and show you those unique and interesting places that only a London Taxi Driver will know. We will drive, walk, laugh and learn. My highest achievement is being a proud father of 4, following that I have been a licensed London Black Taxi Driver since completing the London knowledge in 1987. I studied the knowledge whilst working as a Printer in Fleet Street (home of London's newspaper industry) during the '80s. More recently in 2016, I qualified as a Taxi Guide with the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, studying at the City of London Museum. I was made in London, and have remained a resident Londoner. I love to share my knowledge and passion for this beautiful city that I call home. I have so much to share with you - stories and sites from Roman remain to the current day. I have travelled extensively across the world touring South East Asia, China, Australia, South Pacific, East to West coast across North America, and Europe. As an extensive traveller myself, I feel that I can provide what tourists would be looking for in their experience visiting London. Licensed London Taxi Driver since 1987, license originally issued my the Metropolitan Police of London. Qualified Taxi Guide, issued by the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers.

Overview of your London tour

Leave the city behind and step into a slower, more timeless England in the Chiltern Hills. Just beyond London lies a landscape of rolling hills, peaceful valleys, and sweeping countryside views—without the crowds of the Cotswolds. Winding along narrow country lanes bordered by hedgerows and wildflowers, you’ll pass grazing sheep, ancient trees, and may even spot deer in their natural habitat. Visit historic churches and postcard-perfect villages that feel untouched by time. This private tour offers a genuine escape—quiet, scenic, and deeply rooted in the charm of the English countryside.
