"I’ve been working as a London taxi driver since Sept 1995 and completed 'The Knowledge' in 3 years."
The Man Behind the Wheel
My name is Barry and 7 years ago, I founded Barry Tours. I am a Londoner through and through, born in Central London and raised by publicans, bookmakers, and street traders. Growing up in central London means I know it like the back of my hand!
My job is brilliant, and lets me spend all day, every day showing people the amazing city I love. It is always inspiring meeting new people and experiencing their reactions as I show them London’s iconic landmarks, and hidden gems.
I love chatting away to the people I tour as I drive, offering all of my little tidbits about the best city in the world as I go! I’m always on the lookout for a new tale to tell, as I’m incredibly interested in the history that surrounds me.
My favourite sight to show people is the Albert Bridge because it’s just so beautiful all year round!
