We were both nervous about biking through London (haven't been on bikes in some time!), but James made those nerves disappear. He provided lots of interesting tidbits and hilarious jokes, all of which made the experience much more enjoyable. It was a perfect way to start our trip, and gave us a great first impression of London.”
