“We toured with Dave Charleston. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and took great care to make sure we saw all of the best sights and took the best photos. He was engaging with our kids (ages 11 and 14) and even gave them a couple of quizzes along the way, which they loved. They also loved the graffiti wall! You could tell he loves London and is proud to be from here. Make sure you he tells you the Oliver Cromwell story! Overall it was a top notch, super fun experience in a hop in/hop out private cab tour. Would highly recommend!”
