Iconic London Taxi tour

The whole experience was amazing. From the minute of enquiry on the web, to the event. Great communication and everything went really smoothly. Chris was a wonderful driver and guide. He was excellent at pointing out the various little points of interest, and we got a real view of London that people rarely see. Postman's Park was a little gem. I was worried about steps and walking for my (elderly) mother, but that was not a problem at all. Chris even personalised the tour (at our request) to include Battersea where my father had a garage in the 70's. Cab was clean and fresh, and the glass roof gave a fantastic perspective. Could not have been more pleased with the day. Happy to rave about it to anyone who will listen.
