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.

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!

Six of us friends did this tour and it was fantastic. Dave was really knowledgeable and it was fun and interesting and nothing was too much trouble.
Will definitely do another of his tours.

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.
