Guide #29486
Hello and welcome to my profile page. I suppose the first thing on your mind is: Why should I choose this guide instead of the others? The answer is simple: I absolutely LOVE taking people out and showing them around. It's not just a case of booking a tour; we're going on an adventure together, whether you book one of my published tours or want to have a bespoke tour. I can promise you one thing: it will be informative, fun, and you will really get to see what you want—and often more than you expect. Just check out the reviews; they will give you a good idea of how I like to run the days out. I lived in London for many years, and now I reside in Brighton, which is a fabulous seaside town near the capital. I know all the hidden gems in London and all along the south coast of England, which I would love to share with you. Whether it's history, shopping, nightlife, or pretty much anything else, I will be able to show you exactly what you need. I have also designed some multi-day tours; this is the best way to fit in a true local experience, and you see so much more than you would on a day trip because we have less travel between places. We stay in different places on our adventure so you get to see them once the tourists go home (Ironic, I know, ha ha). Sussex is also a beautiful part of the country; we have a national park on the outskirts (the Downs) which is amazing for walks. We also have many other towns around us that are worth visiting. For example, we have Lewes, which is a 15-minute drive away and hosts probably the most amazing fireworks display in the country on the 5th of November. I can also work as your chauffeur. This means our journey can start right from when you land. I can pick you up from any of the London airports or cruise terminals, making sure you get to your hotel safe and sound after any tour If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me, and let's get your adventure started. - Join me for a luxurious ride in a Mercedes E220 with air conditioning. - My journey began as a travel agent, allowing me to travel extensively over my life, my style of travel is getting under the skin of a country, that's why I've ended up becoming a guide so I can take you on that journey too. - I believe in experiencing the local vibe, ensuring your day out or multi-day tour is tailored to your desires. - Life is meant to be fun, and I bring a light-hearted approach to our adventures because, hey, we only live once!

This tour with James was a highlight of our trip to the UK! Our two teenagers were seeing Stonehenge for the first time and he made it truly memorable for them. Days later, on a road trip in Scotland, we even heard them saying, “If James was here he would tell us all about that!” 😊 He was a prompt and safe driver, very easy to chat with, and even took us to a great...

August 2026Thank you so much for the review. It was great taking you all out for the day to explore Stonehenge and the surrounding area. I'm so glad the boys enjoyed themselves too; it sounds like I should have come to Scotland with you, ha ha. Also, I hope the trip to Nottingham was successful too
A day with James is amazing. We had a custom tour driving from Dover to Brighton. James was hugely flexible, changing our day as needed along the way. Comfortable car, great driving, loved his use of technology to find food along the way. He even went above and beyond to find me crutches in Brighton. Thank you James!

August 2026Thank you so much for your kind review, i love doing those custom days out; it's like an actual adventure together ha ha - hope you had a great rest of the time in Brighton. It was very lively wasn't it, ha ha
What an amazing day! We didn't just see Stonehenge, Avesbury and the Roman Baths, James took us inside the heads of the people behind them. We don't know why Neolithic peoples built massive stone circles, but James helped us feel the enormity of the task and the deep reverence which must have driven them. We didn't just hear stories about the Roman Baths, James placed...

July 2026Oh thank you so much for this review; it made me feel all fuzzy inside :-) What a great day we had; it was so lovely taking you both out for the day. We did pack it in didn't we ha ha - hopefully see you again one day (p/s may just turn up on your doorstep ha ha)
James made our tour of Stonehenge and Windsor hands down the best day of our trip. It felt more like we were spending the day with a family member than with someone we had only met that morning. If you’re trying to decide if it’s worth it to hire a guide, I can’t speak for others but I can tell you it’s definitely worth it to it to hire James. 5 stars, 10 out of 10, would...
