James B Malcolm offers an outstanding tour of the City of London - James B Malcolm is the consummate walking tour guide and his visit through the City of London was nothing short of masterful. As a professional Tour Director for Passports Educational Tours and a local Madrid guide myself, I encounter many guides through work. I can affirm unequivocally that James’ –who is also a professional actor– had perfect pacing, highly appropriate content, a fun and theatrical delivery style and to top it off, he is a lovely person to be with. He spoke loudly and clearly with a stunning command of the English language. His tour was so entertaining and engaging that I couldn’t believe 2 and 1/2 hours had transpired when it drew to a close at St Paul’s Cathedral. Bra-vo James! And bra-vo to London with a Local for having discovered such a jewel of a guide!

A great walking and learning experience - It was a fantastic tour. Our tour guide Kevin was super knowledgeable and told the history in an engaging story format. It is well worth the time spent and a good donation. The atmosphere was fun and light and despite being two hours it was an easy walk. It was a beautiful sunny day but there is plenty of shade around the city as well.
