Accredited London Tour Guide
Since passing the Knowledge of London to become a licensed London Taxi driver, I have also qualified as a City of London Guide and a London Cab Guide and am a current member of the City of London Guides and Lecturers Association.
Every year I participate in the drive to Euro Disney along with around 100 taxi drivers, the police, ambulance service and paramedics together with other support staff for a once-in-a-lifetime trip for children with severe and life threatening medical conditions. I am also a keen supporter of the charities Help for Heroes and English Heritage.
My tours in London start with the Highlights or Classic Tour, showing the main tourist sites and places of interest. I can also offer tours including Harry Potter, Jack the Ripper (including the old East End), Greenwich, the London Docks, Movie Locations, the Tudor Dynasty up to the Civil War "the original Game of Thrones” and then there’s Roman Medieval and London as the Financial District.
Further afield, I take tours to Canterbury, Rochester and the Medway Towns (Charles Dickens), Dover (Battle of Britain) and the Cinque ports of Kent (Kent’s Darkest Hours). I can also offer day excursions to Windsor, Stonehenge, Oxford, Bath, Leeds and Hever Castles and Chartwell House (once the home of Sir Winston Churchill).
Tours are for up to 6 passengers in my brand new Electric London Black Cab with its panoramic roof, perfect for sightseeing. On longer excursions, for increased client comfort, I will take you in a Mercedes Vito taxi.

Our customers say...
"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!"

"Our friends and family have already heard and we shall confirm how much we like BCHT and the great service you provide.
Thank you for setting up our tours and allowing us to select William as our tour guide.
It goes without saying how much we have enjoyed our tours and time with William.
His history knowledge is superb and we enjoy his quirky personality that fits ours.
We intend to use your services again and would enjoy meeting you on our next visit to London.
Infact, we started a list of sites and experiences we would like to see and do with William.
We will contact you once we set a date and firmed up our new Wish List.
Thank you for making our stay in London memorabile... AGAIN!"

"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."
