Black cab tourists outside Westminster.

Viewers left spellbound by the 2017 Hollywood award-winning blockbuster 'Darkest Hour' can now refresh that experience offscreen.

The movie bagged 6 nominations for Academy Awards and an Oscar for Best Actor Oldman, and our adaptation will have you waxing eloquent too. The movie explored Winston Churchill's actions during the early days of the Second World War.

Travel back to 1940 in a time machine (in one of our traditional London Black Cabs, which actually doubled up as fire engines in the Second World War).

Tour guide talking to tourist in a wheelchair in front of sculpted RAF pilots.

Your Private Driver Guide host will be an enthusiastic war historian, and will storm you through the violence of ‘The Blitz’.

Feel the jitters as you visualise Nazi Germany threatening Western Europe and Great Britain’s very existence.

With torurists around the figures on the bench in New Bond Street.

Follow in the footprints of Winston Churchill (brilliantly played by versatile actor Gary Oldman).

Trace the turn of events from that unsettling era at Westminster and Whitehall.

We will show you old bomb shelters and bomb-damaged London, still visible - if you know where to look!

For an apt closure to a war-themed tour, pick Churchill War Rooms, Imperial War Museum or Warship HMS Belfast. Leave the headache of pre-ordering and pre-paying for skip-the-line tickets to our concierge team, while you have the time of your life.

"Thank you John Parsons for providing the gorgeous white taxi for our wedding day, it was beautifully dressed and couldn’t have asked for more! We enjoyed chatting and laughing with you on our journey home! And thank you for being so patient when we were late! We will definitely be recommending."

"Our tour on Saturday was really good. Paul met us promptly as arranged and introduced himself asking any personal places we wished to visit which he incorporated into the tour. We didn't tell my husband Brian until the morning and he was so pleased . Paul was very informative on all of the tour stopping now and again so we could take photos and stretch our legs. The whole weekend was amazing and the weather was perfect but I think the tour was the highlight. We were all very impressed with Paul. Kind and courteous without being intrusive and we were only sorry when the three hours finished. Sad to say we are now home and back to reality but we have made some good memories that we can cherish. Here's to our next tour."

"It was amazing! They both did a wonderful job, were professional and friendly and so knowledgeable! I have been to London multiple times and was astounded at how much I learned! It was also nice to see the “non touristy” sites which makes me feel like I know more about the “real London”. I would certainly recommend this service to anyone and, especially for those like me, who have a mobility issue, it was a godsend. It allowed me to get into areas that I would not have been able to get to had I had to walk into them. Bill was very thoughtful in how he maneuvered to get me close and never made me feel like the old lady. He was a true gentleman! I know that Michele enjoyed the ghost tour and I have seen some of her Facebook posts on it and she was very pleased. And I, personally, was glad it didn’t focus on Jack the Ripper and Harry Potter! I am so glad that I found your service and will certainly be back in touch on my next trip. I want to see and learn more about a city that is one of my favorites! I would be glad to discuss my experience with anyone who wants more detailed information if you would find that helpful. Thank you again for the wonderful experience! And special thanks to Bill and Mick! Take good care!"
