John’s story
John is a vibrant, outgoing character with a friendly, respectful, and polite nature; he loves being around people. Always fascinated with his vibrant and exciting city, he began taxi driving many years ago. Then, before the dawn of Sat Nav and GPS he learned to navigate himself around the city and the area of the North West by necessity. Always trying to provide his customers with snippets of information and stories of the city he knows so well, he discovered swiftly how much enjoyment there was in this interaction.
In 2008 he applied successfully to join a tour guiding course, providing the opportunity to become Manchester’s only fully qualified Tour Guide & Taxi Driver.
Guests should expect the whole experience to unravel as a story, sharing tales of how Manchester fits together seamlessly and linking different areas and offerings. Always considering you, the client, he guarantees to ensure you feel part of the experience.
