Best London Tour Guide - Do Not Miss!! - Peter Mulcahy gave my daughter and me the most extraordinary tour of London. To say that he has a vast command of history does not adequately capture what he has to offer. As we explored the City, he described the lives, ideas and events that preceded us, and how those influences may still be felt today. His perspective on English history is refreshing and honest -- he doesn't shy away from the darker bits. He relays it all with passion and wit, and often a glint in his eye. It was a thoroughly delightful and enriching experience. I will recommend Peter to all my friends visiting London.

A 25th Birthday Blast ! - Peter is amazing. And that's saying something as somewhat of a niche London history nerd who has been on many a taxi tour! I'm completely astounded by his knowledge. He has such an exciting way of connecting facts and telling stories from all sorts of periods and subjects – and that's before I even get onto his brilliant sense of humour. My parents booked this tour for my 25th birthday present and Peter absolutely made my day while also being so attentive to the interests and needs of our whole family! His follow-up Whatsapp links are just one example of how thoughtful he is and passionate for you to not just listen, but understand and share his interest. Thank you Peter, you are brilliant!

Best part of the vacation! - Peter Mulcahy based the tour upon our interests and physical effort. It was a great experience. We had just one day in London before our Cruise left from South Hampton the next day and Peter gave us a personalized 6 hour tour we will never forget. It was well worth it and I highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Overview of London with a wealth of knowledge. - Excellent overview of London.
Peter is a fount of knowledge and since he understands that there’s so much to take in, he provides links to every place we saw so that when we are more relaxed and want to go over our trip, we can learn more about the history behind each sight. I’ve never experienced a guide who has been so prepared and has taken the time to provide a wealth of background information!
Definitely ask for Peter Mulcahy.
You will be happy you did

London Tour - Peter was outstanding. His knowledge of history was astonishing. He asked us questions before the tour and created a tour specific to our nationalities and likes. Probably the best tour guide we have ever had. Highly recommend Peter.

Fantastic way to experience the city! - Peter jam packed the tour with hidden secret gems that we would never have found on our own, like Walter Raleigh’s tomb! It was an enjoyable way of seeing a lot in a short space of time, perfect for anyone on a day trip who wants to see everything without the hassle of public transport. He also very kindly sent links to everywhere we had been afterwards so we could read up on it. Would recommend 100%! Thanks Peter x

We took so many photos and Peter took so many great ones. He sent us photos and links to information about what we saw. What an amazing day. Highly recommend!

Must do for tourist as well as Londoners who want to learn more about our great city. - Peter is amazing and his depth and breadth of knowledge across the history of London and the people who have inhabited London be they in politics, commerce, music, you name it is hard to comprehend. We gave him some areas of interest and he created a bespoke tour specific to what we wanted to see.Peter provided an amazing experience and the best tour that kept the whole family engaged throughout.
