Windsor Castle & Stonehenge

Hello I'm Paul! I am a professional accredited Blue Badge Driver Guide. Let me welcome you to my home city of London. I am one of only a handful of Blue Badge Driver Guides in England who is also a License London Taxi Driver. As a born and bread Londoner who has lived and worked in this amazingly historic and cosmopolitan city all my life. It would be my absolute pleasure to share with you my decades of experience living in working in London. Let me show you why I am proud to be part of the fabric of this world-class city. All of my tours are relaxed, friendly and fun which are focused on making sure that you have an enjoyable and memorable day! I have always been fascinated by the history and heritage that surrounds me every day. But London is much more than just history, it is a very modern city and it would be my absolute pleasure as a driver and guide to show you around all the famous, and not so famous, sites of London. The Blue Badge is the highest guiding qualification and we are the official guides for the UK. Blue Badge guides are the only guides who can take you inside and guide around the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral and Windsor Castle. As a Blue Badge guide I am qualified to guide you if you would like to venture into the beautiful English countryside for excursions to the Thames Valley, Hampton Court Palace, Stratford-upon-Avon, The Cotswolds, Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, Bath, Oxford, Blenheim Palace and more. . . All of my tours are at your pace with plenty of opportunities to walk around, get refreshments and take photos. I have been a tour guide for over a decade and a London Black Cab driver since 1996 having passed the world's most stringent taxi test 'The Knowledge of London' which takes an average 3 years of study and gives me an unparalleled mastery of the topography of London. As well as being a Blue Badge Guide, I am a fully qualified Taxi Guide with the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers who I also lecture for. I am an accredited City of London Guide with the Institute of Tourist Guiding and a member of the City Guides and Lecturers Association. My vehicle is a London Black Cab which is a London icon in itself, so what better way to get up close to the famous sites and some not so famous gems that not even life-long Londoners know about. My cab is fully air-conditioned and can comfortably seat 6 people as well as being fully wheelchair accessible. It also features a fabulous glass panoramic sunroof which gives you uninterrupted views of all of those famous sites. Built in is an intercom so you will be able to hear me clearly. The system incorporates a hearing T loop for hearing aid users. So why not come and join me to experience London with a true Londoner, in a vehicle that's as famous as London itself! Thank you for considering me to be your guide! I look forward to meeting you soon.
