From the time I went on a school trip visiting the great religious houses and castles of England at the age of 11, history had me hooked. Graduating in History, I later ran and organized tours for over 30 years throughout Great Britain and beyond. I love showing people the very best of England and despite guiding for such a long time, there are always new places and new things to learn. I've toured throughout Great Britain and more, both as a guide for private groups and smaller organized tours. My main interest is customizing my tours to fit my passenger's needs. The type of tours I run vary considerably; whether it be gardens, castles, stone circles or historic towns and cities but what they all have in common is that they're surrounded by the English countryside, rich in both history and variety. I am a London taxi driver (black cab) and as such we have to pass the fiendishly difficult "The Knowledge" of London which means, amongst many things, we have to know over 10, 500 roads and thousands of points of interest. Our access to London's bus lanes means that we can navigate our way quickly and efficiently through the busy streets of the city. The taxi I drive can sit up to 6 people, is adapted to take wheelchairs and has a perspex roof for a better touring experience. I am a qualified and licensed tour guide through the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage drivers. Bachelor of Arts, Humanities (History), University of Central Lancashire. Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage drivers taxi guide. Full PCV (coach driver's licence) 30+ years of experience tour guiding. Not able to guide within Windsor Castle, Westminster Abbey or the Tower of London. However I am available to escort guests.

Overview of your London tour

A journey back in time through England's ancient landscape across the backroads to the site of Stonehenge. Come on a tour of the visitor's centre accompanied by your guide, which includes a 360 degree cinema that will project visuals for you to experience what it was like to stand in the middle of Stonehenge as it developed over the centuries and throughout the seasons. A shuttle bus will take us up to the Stones, where I will point out some of the features of this unique site. Taking an old coaching road to the splendid Georgian city of Bath, I'll also share some stories with you, on the way of the iron age fortresses we'll see en route, as well as old canals and a murder mystery that captured the imagination of Victorian society. The final part of this experience provides a panoramic tour of the city where we'll visit sites otherwise inaccessible to other tour groups.
