How would you like to take a trip in my time machine!? Would you like to see two thousand years of history of London from the Romans right up to the present day? I can show you around this amazing city that I was born and brought up in. You will hear about poets and playwrights, Lords and Ladies, politicians and Prime Ministers, Princes, Princesses, Kings and Queens, some with their heads and some without their heads. . . all of this is possible, and so much more! If you're interested in the history of Rock'n'Roll in London, why not go back to the Swinging Sixties with me, and then on to the seventies, eighties or nineties, and back to the present day? The vehicle I use to take my guests on a time-travelling journey is actually a London black cab. These iconic taxis are loved and trusted by London's travelling public and are regularly voted the best in the world. They are a great way of seeing the sights, and are air-conditioned with plenty of leg room. They are also wheelchair-accessible. I have been a London taxi driver since 2006 and a qualified Tour Guide since 2011 - just in time for the London Olympics of 2012, which was a magical time for all of us that experienced it. I love my hometown of London dearly, and nothing gives me more pleasure than to show visitors around what is arguably the world's greatest capital city! But my knowledge of history isn't bound by the borders of London, not by a long stretch. I have been taking my guests for many years to wonderful places such as Oxford, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Bath and the Cotswolds - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, if ever there was one! You can see all of this and more - all from the comfort of an iconic London taxi, driven by a knowledgeable, experienced, affable and personable driver - yours truly! I look forward to seeing you! Licensed London Taxi Driver (Black Cab) since 2006. Member of City of Westminster Guides and Lecturers Association, qualified 2012. Qualified Taxi Tour Guide, since 2011, with the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, accredited by City of London. Associate member of Black Cab Heritage Tours. Member of English Heritage. Member of the National Trust. Member of Historic Royal Palaces. Please note that I do not have a license to guide within St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey or the Tower of London. I can only guide in English.

Overview of your London tour

A taxi tour of the Cotswolds offers an intimate and relaxed way to explore this picturesque region, famous for its charming villages, rolling hills, and quintessential English countryside. Your very own licensed London taxi driver will guide you through some of the Cotswolds’ most iconic locations, including idyllic villages like Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Bibury, where time seems to stand still amid honey-coloured stone cottages and tranquil rivers. As you travel, you’ll learn about the area’s rich history, from its medieval market towns to its connections with the wool trade. The driver can customize the itinerary to your interests, whether it’s visiting historic landmarks, strolling through beautiful gardens, or stopping at traditional country pubs for a taste of local fare.

Your London tour itinerary

I will pick you up in my licensed London black taxi from a central London location of your choice. Pick-up locations outside central London are available on request. We will then head to the Cotswolds for the day. The taxi tour of the Cotswolds is 10 hours long from pick-up to drop off. We will visit at least three beautiful Cotswolds villages, depending on how long you want to spend in them. The most popular villages to visit are Bibury, Bourton On The Water and Stow On The Wold. There will be plenty of opportunity to stop for refreshments and lunch at one of the lovely pubs that the Cotswolds are famous for. After exploring the Cotswolds - officially designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, by the way - I will drop you at a central location of your choice. Other drop-off locations are available on request. Just ask for details.
