What a blast! - Yes, James is a man who know his stuff. I am quite satisfied with the knowledge he possessed in the different areas, and the information about the different pieces. For me it was a blast! Good luck James!

The BEST overview of the British Museum - James was our guide when we visited the British Museum, and he was exceptional. He had a detailed answer for every question our varied group sent his way. He was engaging, humorous, and incredibly informed about the museum. I found myself wishing I'd brought my teenaged sons for the tour. One of the best tours I've ever taken. Hopefully the next time I visit London James is still doing tours.

Steph was an excellent guide! - Steph was an energetic and informative guide. Without her vast expertise both the Museum and the Gallery would have been overwhelming.

Definitely the way to approach the museums with limited time - Steph was a wonderful guide, both knowledgeable and engaging. She brings with her a wealth of information about history as well as art. Both museums are massive, and we would have been flailing on our own. There was a child in each group, and Steph has a knack for including them, always respectful in her interactions with them. We had a full day that flew by. It was well worth the expense of hiring a guide.

National Gallery - Outstanding tour. Our guide Ellie was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. Rather than quickly rushing through everything in the museum she concentrated on specific artists and pieces that showcased the progression of art through the ages. I highly recommend this tour.
