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. After 19 years driving one of London’s iconic black taxis, I became a qualified tour guide in 2013 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 – a step up from the usual taxi or tour bus. 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.

We will then head to Stonehenge where I will give you a guided tour of the exhibition centre and the outside exhibit where we will see the recreated houses of the builders of Stonehenge before we head down to the stone circle.
