A wonderful day in London with Jame Hart - James Hart's knowledge of The Tower of London and Westminster Abbey is incredibly vast. He escorted our group throughout the Tower of London and provided an extraordinary level of detail for the artifacts and settings. At Westminster Abbey, our group was only the two of us and James maintained the same pace without any sense of him trying to rush through. We covered the entire area of the Abbey, both inside and out, and he displayed his extensive knowledge of its history the whole time. During the boat ride between the Tower and Westminster, he pointed out many of the buildings we passed and their place in London's history. It was a wonderful day and we highly recommend this tour to anyone.
