Overview

Discover the significance of American culture in London from the comfort of a private London Black Taxi. I have been a London Taxi Driver since 1994 and I am also a qualified taxi guide.

See parts of London you may not have known about. Be amazed at just how much American influence there is to be seen in London and discover hidden gems that time has forgot.

The tour focuses on two broad areas.

• The Thames in the east of the city features the beginnings of the 13 colonies from 1606: On the south side, we will visit the iconic Mayflower and travel around London’s Blackwall, Rotherhithe and the pretty Shad Thames moving to the other side of the river to explore trendy Wapping and the City.

• St. James’s and Mayfair in the West highlight the beginnings of the nation of the United States from the 1770s. We will visit the former home of one of the Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin. I will show you where the ratification of the Treaty of Paris was signed, and so much more.

Best Tour of London, EVER!

732drewh, 29-08-2022

We did an 8 hour tour with Pete, with our two teenage kids. His energy level and knowledge of London were both off the charts. We started to get a bit of afternoon jet lag, and Pete just kept taking us to increasingly fascinating spots around the city. Next thing we knew it was time for a pint! Great day, and one we will never forget. Thanks again Pete!

One of a kind | Unforgettable experience

Hats off to Pete .. there is no one who comes close. He is knowledgeable, personable, upbeat, and eager to show off London. A true history buff. He's the best of the best and comes highly recommended. Pete is your tour guide who instantly feels like family and delivers an unbelievable experience you will never forget.

An Amazing Afternoon around London!

Peter in three hours showed me so many hidden gems of the city of London! He was so kind and flexible and adjusted the tour to my areas of interest (in particular British Literature). While driving through the city we stopped at the houses of my favorite authors such as Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain and Charles Dickens.

Peter's knowledge and passion showed as he relayed so many interesting facts with ease. He took such great care of me and as an American showed me how our two nations are truly connected through history. If you are looking to have an amazing tour, given by one of the loveliest people in the world-Peter is your guy!

Thank you Peter, for an afternoon I will never forget!
