Billy's Black Cab Tour of London
Overview
REAL LONDON AND HISTORY!
Hi! I'm Billy,
I'm a London Black Cab Driver and tour guide. Like other cabby guides, I did the WCHCD Cabbie Guides course, but I went on to do more...
I've always been building new tours, researching and learning more and more about British history.
I did a history degree between 2020-2024, graduating 1st class in September 2024.
I love history so much, that I've started to broadcast podcasts on discussing British history, London and more.
I love showing my guests what makes London so special, the city is 2000 years old, and I believe every visitor should really experience why it is so special!
As the owner and lead guide of London History Taxi Tours, my motto is:
Learn London - Love London - Live London
or, depending how you look at it
LEARN LONDON - LIVE LONDON - LOVE LONDON
I see it as London isn't something you just visit, but something you embrace!
Key inclusions:
History Grad
Qualified Local Guide
Black Cab / Walking Hybird
Photography
