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.

This 3-hour London panoramic tour is a good introduction to London. The tour will start at your central London hotel and either finish at the same place or any other destination of your choice. On route, I will give you a running commentary about London and the place we see as we drive around this wonderful city. We will see places like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, Hyde Park, Kensington Palace, the Tower of London, St Pauls's Cathedral, St James's Park, Tower Bridge, and much more. Why not add a trip on the London Eye, Europe's tallest observation wheel.
David is a fantastic tour guide! He is a total history buff and seamlessly drives safely, and tells stories and history of areas of interest. We had a wonderful morning exploring all the sights of London. I highly recommend David. You will have a great time and learn a lot, too.
David has encyclopedic knowledge of London acquired during his decades as a licensed London taxi driver and private chauffer. His overview tour is perfect for first time visitors, and worthwhile even for veterans. He managed to take us everywhere despite widespread road works and diversions. He was witty, engaging and fun to be with.
Wonderful tour, very personable, informative. Highly recommend!!
I will meet and greet you at your central London hotel and explain what the tour will involve. We will tour London and see the highlights of the city along with all the main attractions.
