We had an amazing time with John on our tour. He was knowledgeable, fun, and showed us parts of London that we would never have seen before. His cab was clean and well kept and we'd have loved to spend some more time with him! It was great to meet a real 'Londoner' and hear his tales of being a black cab driver whilst we travelled between the historic sites.
We'll definitely book another tour next time we are in London.
