James is, without a doubt, the best guide we've had or could have hoped for. I booked a walking tour with my mother in a wheelchair and my 6-year-old son in May. We saw all the highlights of the city in one day, in addition to a few hidden gems. Not only is James a walking encyclopedia of everything British, but he has been part of its history through his and his family's impressive military service. We learned more in one day than history class teaches you in 12 years, and had a rollicking good time doing so. He ensured we all learned on our level, were engaged, and saw/discussed things we were interested in Harry Potter? Check. The Queen and her Guards? Check. Bathrooms? Check. Scholarly discourses on royalty and beheadings? Check. Lego Store? Check. In addition, he is hands down the most entertaining person to be around. His humor, brutal honesty, wit and intellect make him a stand-out. We would have kept him for a week all around England if we had stayed, and my mother still talks about wanting to have taken him home. My son still talks about him going with us to the Lego store and actually knowing about Lego too. I'm thrilled he was able to provide us with a wonderful, memorable experience we won't soon forget, and I can't wait to go back. I've already recommended him to others and will wholeheartedly continue doing so in the future. Thanks James!
