Peter is a knowledgeable, energetic, passionate guide and driver. He is a wealth of knowledge of London and world history with quite a sense of humor. He is a boxer and fitness trainer so he will go as hard as want to go on the tour. He tailors the tour to your interests and ability to move about. We drove and also walked a lot to see many beyond the usual London sights. He has provided us with photos and links to so many articles and books about what we saw that will keep us studying all winter!

Peter is fantastic. His historical knowledge is incomparable. Peter goes above and beyond to make the tour personalized, then he follows up with interesting facts for you afterwards. While in London prepare to be flexible with your tour for uncontrollable events. Construction, street closures, protest, union strikes can affect tours so be prepared to park the cab and walk or take the tube. We had a rail strike which made traffic unbearable. While Peter did everything to make his way around it, in the end it just wasn’t efficient, so we set off on foot.

AMAZING AND ONE OF A KIND TOUR! My family and I had a wonderful tour with our guide Peter. Peter was filled with immense knowledge on the history of London, the best coffee in town, and the best picture spots. We expressed interests and careers in the cab with Peter such as Adele and speech therapy. He then proceeded to drive us to Adele’s recording studio and the former King’s speech therapist’s office. Peter has extensive knowledge of the city and enjoys relating this knowledge to your interests. Book with him! You will not be disappointed!
