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!

Overview of your London tour

Embark on an enchanting one-day tour of England's historic treasures with me! We’ll visit three iconic sites, each with its own unique history and charm. Our adventure begins at Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and an official royal residence. We'll explore the grand State Apartments, St. George's Chapel, and even catch a glimpse of the Queen’s Guards. Next, we head to the awe-inspiring Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage site steeped in mystery. Dating back to 3500 BC, this ancient stone circle holds secrets and legends you’ll uncover as we explore its captivating history. Our final stop is the charming city of Bath, known for its Georgian architecture and Roman heritage. We’ll explore the Roman Baths, Bath Abbey, and celebrate the city’s connection to Jane Austen, whose novels capture Bath’s elegance. Join me for a day filled with wonder, history, and unforgettable stories!

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 us within the Roman world and framed the experience from the perspective of those who came there to heal and appeal to the gods. James is so much more than a tour guide! His unique approach creates a deeply personal experience. Don't miss an opportunity to travel through time with him

Simply Fantastic! James was extremely flexible from the get go. When we had some scheduling conflicts he worked with us to revise the tour. James is highly personable. His humor and conversational style made for a very pleasant touring experience especially between locations. His knowledge of the locations is deep and he provided unique insights and information along the way. My two sons are still talking about this tour days after we returned home. I cannot express enough my thanks for a great time. Book with James.

If I could give James 6 stars I would. We had such a wonderful time on our tour. James did a fantastic job of providing interesting history, fun facts, and light humor to keep us entertained all day long. My flight over started out with a major delay so instead of arriving the day before my tour we landed at 6:30 AM to start our tour at 8 AM. James kindly changed our pickup spot and was so thoughtful to provide for our needs after a long flight. He did a great job keeping us on track so we could see everything without ever making us feel rushed. I have shared his information with my other family members who will be traveling soon. I would definitely book him again. Thanks James for providing us with such an exceptionally fun day.

We had a private tour with James Mortimer for the day to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath. It was a perfect day and James was the perfect guide. He was personable, knowledgeable, and skilled. At all times we felt cared for and safe while learning the history of the places with all the nuances that only a local could provide. I could tell the moment I started communicating with James that he was the exact right person to take us on this day tour. I would HIGHLY recommend not only this tour, but James in particular. As they say in the UK, he was brilliant!
