Such a brilliant day out. Dave was an excellent guide who made the day interesting and varied. The cab was spotlessly clean and included water and sweet treats which was a nice touch. We were never rushed and there was plenty of time for photos. We had lunch at an excellent Italian cafe in East London which added to the authenticity. I would highly recommend this tour.
What a great day!

From the moment Dave picked us up he made us so welcome and comfortable in the cab. Nothing was too much trouble, he stopped off, showed us places of interest and told us the stories behind what we were looking at. His knowledge is extensive! He recommended and introduced us to a fab Italian cafe (that requires a review of it's own) and took us to a great pub as we wanted to have a drink at the end of the tour. Before we left him we booked our next tour!

Totally agree with the other reviewers. Wonderful experience. Taking Dave's cab took the hassle out of exploring London and his well researched information and stories were just right to keep our interest without us being overwhelmed. We visited some places we knew of but wouldn't have known to find them. It was a lovely fun day in Dave's beautifully clean cab, hearing some amazing stories and no worries about finding toilets and he knows of great places to eat and picnic. Definitely recommend most highly.
Interesting and enjoyable day out in London

Fabulous day out. Dave really knows his stuff, from start to finish the tour is fun, entertaining, and informative. Dave goes out of his way to make sure you have a great time and is so accommodating. The taxi is spotlessly clean and comfortable. I took my parents and they thoroughly enjoyed it. A must for anyone looking for a great day out.
