Great Tour Guide!

"Gavin’s tour of Westminster Abbey and the British Museum was wonderful. With his vast knowledge about both sites, he entertained and educated our group of 11 kids and adults with great anecdotes and expert insight. It was a delightful day and we look forward to taking another tour with Gavin the next time we’re in London."
