David was a convivial conversationalist and a very informative guide. He took us by Woodhenge first, building knowledge and suspense, anf avoiding traffic. His depth of knowledge about Stonehenge was a delight.

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 is one of the most popular day tours from London. Traveling by luxury, air-conditioned, Mercedes sedan we will arrive at Stonehenge shortly after opening time and before the large bus groups from London. Before we arrive at Stonehenge I will tell you the history of this World Heritage site. Why we think it is here, who built it, how they built it and why they built it. On arrival at Stonehenge, I will take you through and talk about the new visitor center. We will then go outside to see the recreation of the houses where the builders of Stonehenge lived before heading down to the stone circle where I will tell you more about what you are seeing and the surrounding landscape.

David is simply a fantastic tour guide and warm, welcoming gentleman. Our tour was amazing, even with the less than ideal weather. He provided an amazing day for us, and especially my father, who was quite specific about wanting to see Stonehenge on our limited time in the UK. He has a huge wealth of knowledge and knew all the answers to all of our random questions. Book this tour, or any tour with David, you won't regret it.
David was extremely informative, a great driver and very pleasant. We had a perfect 1/2 at Stonehenge despite the rain. The price was great as well - about half of what the hotel was going to charge. Perfect excursion!
We had a marvelous day with David! He was very informative during our drive out of London and the return. We learned so much about the city. As we approached Stonehenge he provided significant historical information. At the museum and the nearby recreation of the village he was knowledgeable and helpful. As we walked around the Stonehenge site he also provided insight. He drove a very comfortable car and was an extremely careful driver. A very nice man and a great guide!
This was an excellent tour that didn't take up our whole day. David was the best driver and tour director. He picked us up at 8:30 a.m. at our London hotel and we returned by midafternoon. David is a kind man who had a great sense of humor. He has endless knowledge of Stonehenge and all that we saw along the ride. His car is very luxurious. He got us through Stonehenge before all of the tour buses arrived so our visit there was easy and there were no long lines or hassles. I can't recommend his tour enough. I give him a A+ rating.
Wonderful day at Stonehenge with David! He is a very knowledgeable and engaging guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him visiting Stonehenge and highly recommend David and this tour! A+++

Transport will be in an Audi A8 long wheelbase executive sedan with panoramic roof. It is licensed to carry 4 adult passengers but on longer journeys it is more comfortable with 3 adults. I also have access to the iconic electric London taxi (black cab) that can seat up to 6 passengers, 3 forward and 3 rear facing seats. Please message me if this is of interest to you for a larger group.
