I'm Graham, your driver-guide, walking-guide and attractions guide: bringing London to life with commentary and chat on my private London tours. I've put together a nice selection of tours to help us explore the best of London: • London Highlights. • London Big Day Out. • Royal London. • Beatles + Rock'n Roll. • London Horror. • Hampton Court Palace. • British Museum. • National Gallery. • Greenwich. • English Countryside. • Jewish History in London. • Black History in London. • Driving tours: in the ideal vehicle for sightseeing - a licensed London taxi. Lots of stops on driving tours and all tours have short walks to get close to the attractions and sights. • Walking tours: always get close to, or inside, the sights and attractions or through the streets of London. • All tours: I'll explain as we explore and I welcome questions from curious clients. Transportation on driving tours: Door-2-Door Service (pick up and drop off anywhere in central London). Meeting locations for walking or attractions tours: always easy to find and some have a pick-up from your hotel (depending on where you're staying). I have been a tour guide since the dawn of the 21st century! and have four guiding qualifications: • City of London • City of Westminster • London Taxi Guide • St Paul's Cathedral. I have a History BA too, so deep background knowledge. And I'm a real licensed London taxi driver, having completed the world famous 'Knowledge of London' in 2000. I'm also a published London historian. My book is 'Guildhall. City of London'. It's a history of one of London's oldest buildings (600+ years). Guildhall is public, free and worth a visit, possibly during one of my London Highlights tours. • My Mercedes Vito London taxi is clean, has air-con and carries up to six passengers. London taxis are fully wheelchair accessible and disability travel-friendly (ramp, hand bars). ---------------------------------------------------- City of London Guide, City of Westminster Guide, London Taxi Tour Guide, St Paul's Cathedral Guide, London Taxi Driver (black cab), History BA. Hons, Published London historian, Associate Member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding . . . and proud Londoner. Only two attractions where I don't have guiding accreditation: Westminster Abbey, Tower of London.

Overview of your London tour

As a born-and-bred London tour guide, I enjoy sharing commentary and conversation about our stops and the city’s great landmarks. A walk around royal Westminster is great fun, with something to see around every corner. As we explore London’s famous sights and hidden back streets, I’ll bring the city to life with stories of royal palaces and gossip, political powerhouses and prime ministers, churches and cathedrals, and celebrated London personalities - everything from the trivial to the technical. London’s highlights form the backbone of our half-day tour, showcasing the city’s rich histories, cultures, and outstanding architecture. This packed but unhurried experience offers the very best of London. This is not a drive-by tour, so some walking is involved. There will be plenty of stops and photo opportunities. With a black-cab driver and a walking guide leading your London taxi tour, the day will be super-efficient, enjoyable, and memorable.

Had an awesome tour with Graham! Took us to the big spots and some unexpected ones as well. He is an outstanding guide. We had a great time and learned a ton. Tailored the tour perfectly to our interests.

What a great day with Graham learning about rock n roll history throughout the city of London. Graham made the day interesting and had so much information to share. If you want to know more about the Beatles and other musical groups please don’t hesitate to take this tour. As the Beatles say about Graham he “won’t let you down “ because he’s a real “Day Tripper” Don and Cheryl Snyder

We may be senior citizens, but we still want to see a lot while on vacation. Booking Graham Greenglass for an afternoon of touring proved to be a terrific idea! We did more in one afternoon than we ever could have done on our own, and he gladly took us to our special requested locations. Graham is such a story-teller and delighted us with info about places around London. He is enthusiastic, polite, professional - and fun to be with. We would heartily recommend Graham to anyone!

We had a great walking and driving tour with Graham. He arrived on schedule at 10am in front of our building. Graham is both a licensed taxi driver in London, as well as a very seasoned tour guide. His black van very comfortably accommodated our group of six (four adults & two middle school age girls). He struck the perfect tempo for our group throughout the tour. Keeping it fun, interesting & educational! We will hire him again for another tour! Book him early, as he is a popular guide!

Your London tour itinerary

Door-2-Door: meet and greet and return to your hotel. We'll be viewing: •Buckingham Palace •Parliament & Big Ben •Westminster Abbey •St James's Palace •Trafalgar Square •St Paul's Cathedral •Tower of London •Shakespeare's Globe •Changing of the Guard Ceremony (Sun, Mon, Wed, Fri) We may visit a fantastic street-food market for lunch (45-mins approx). We'll be parking near to landmarks and we'll then walk closer for close-up views. I'll talk as we're driven, when we walk and when we're up close. There are endless opportunities for photos. Some walks are short and some slightly longer. Time spent viewing a landmark varies from one or two minutes to a few minutes. Everywhere we go is in the open. London is BIG so we'll select the best of London for you to enjoy. We're always close to coffee shops and places for bathroom breaks.
