I would like to take you on a tour of London - one of the most exciting, vibrant and cosmopolitan cities in the world.
Let me introduce you to the majesty of Westminster Abbey and the splendour of St Paul's Cathedral, bring you the stories behind the Tower of London with its dazzling collection of Crown Jewels, make a visit to the British Museum with objects dating back 2 million years or take in some of the breathtaking collection of art in the world famous National Gallery or Tate Modern.
And if like me, you love to explore on foot and find out about the real 'everyday' London, we could take a walking tour and discover some of our most famous streets and areas as well as those smaller, unknown passages and alleyways that are often missed by visitors.
Weaving anecdotes, historical facts and fun stories, explore the famous landmarks that define this wonderful city as part of a private, individually crafted tour or a larger coach panoramic experience.
Or perhaps you would like to visit outside of London, taking in such famous places as Bath, Canterbury, Salisbury and nearby Stonehenge.
Maybe the dreaming spires of Oxford or Windsor Castle, the weekend retreat of The Queen are more in line with what you are looking for.
Whilst these are just some of the suggestions that you may like to explore with me as your guide, I appreciate that this is your tour and I would relish the opportunity to craft something more bespoke for you.
So please do get in contact and allow me to help you create some amazing memories!

'James is among the best guides we have had the chance to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable but also flexible and has a way of explaining things that keeps a couple of teenagers interested. Great mix of stories and detail, making sure we were always engaged. He is also a very nice person, you want to hang out with him...'
'I have been arranging similar visits for years and I can tell with no doubt James was the best guide ever.'
