Hi, I'm Ray! My tours offer a fun and relaxed style of bespoke and unique content. I am flexible to accommodate any of your interests and cultural insights. The best way to describe my tours is that I will "hold your hand" for the day, have unlimited photo opportunities and show you those unique and interesting places that only a London Taxi Driver will know. We will drive, walk, laugh and learn. My highest achievement is being a proud father of 4, following that I have been a licensed London Black Taxi Driver since completing the London knowledge in 1987. I studied the knowledge whilst working as a Printer in Fleet Street (home of London's newspaper industry) during the '80s. More recently in 2016, I qualified as a Taxi Guide with the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, studying at the City of London Museum. I was made in London, and have remained a resident Londoner. I love to share my knowledge and passion for this beautiful city that I call home. I have so much to share with you - stories and sites from Roman remain to the current day. I have travelled extensively across the world touring South East Asia, China, Australia, South Pacific, East to West coast across North America, and Europe. As an extensive traveller myself, I feel that I can provide what tourists would be looking for in their experience visiting London. Licensed London Taxi Driver since 1987, license originally issued my the Metropolitan Police of London. Qualified Taxi Guide, issued by the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers.

Without travelling far from central London you will get a real sense of the much under visited, rural, picturesque Kent countryside. This is England at its best. History combined with beauty, a real escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Downe House - Home to Charles Darwin, the man whose revolutionary thinking transformed the way we see the natural world. Many original artefacts on display within the building. Chartwell - Family home of Winston Churchill. It was his haven away from Downing Street, an opportunity to spend time as a father and indulge in his hobby of painting. He once described this pastime as his "joy ride in a paintbox". A must for Churchill fans, it is a time capsule of history where you get a real feeling of the man and his life here. Hever Castle - a medieval castle and ancestral home of Anne Boleyn (Henry VIIIs second wife). One thing in common about all three locations is that they are all brimming with history and all have beautiful gardens to explore.
08:00 Pick up central London Options available for breakfast or lunch. Start the day with a "full English" breakfast with the locals in a cafe or enjoy a country pub lunch between locations. Visit Downe House, Chartwell, Hever Castle 19:00 Drop off central London
