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.

A short walking tour of the city of Oxford and a tour of The Cotswolds.
Overview of your London tour
Enjoy a short walking tour of Oxford, home to the oldest English speaking university in the world, where I will show you some of the important buildings in the city along with a few of the world famous Oxford universities. When we leave Oxford we will head to The Cotswolds, officially designated as an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The market towns and villages in The Cotswolds will transport you back in time as many of these places have not seen very much change in over 500 years. The area also has some interesting place name to conjure with like The Slaughters, The Swells and Stow on the Wold. There are many wonderful places to stop for lunch in the area ranging from quaint tea shops, restaurants and old style country pubs serving local produce. Many of the pubs have an inviting fire during the chillier months.
Your London tour itinerary
We will start at 8 am and head to Oxford, the city of dreaming spires, where I will give you a short walking tour of the city lasting 1 - 1½ hours. Here we will see some of the iconic building that make this city so special. Then we head for The Cotswolds to visit villages and market towns that have been lost in time. We will drive through some and others we will take a short walk through. Some of the places we visit are Broadway, Upper & Lower Slaughter, Chipping Camden, Bourton on the Water, Bibury and more. We will arrive back London around 6 pm.
