WELCOME !
Make the most of your precious time, allow me to care for you, share and explain my rich and thrilling heritage and history.

I am a conscientious professional tourist-guide offering a variety of full and half day tours in London and areas listed below, for groups or individuals, ranging from children through to lively seniors. Tours by coach for groups up to 50 and tours on foot or public transport for smaller groups.

Tourism is my chosen career. I qualified as a London Blue Badge Guide in 2000. Previously, I worked for international tour operators before a career break to become a House Director! (A Mum).

Other qualifications : BA Degree - The Open University (History, French, Psychology and Social Science). European Tour Management- City & Guilds.

I can help you plan your time and visits. My love of London, developed as a child with visits to that huge city at the end of a nearby railway line with my educated grandmother!
