Frances Brook
Registered as a London, West Country and Southern Tourist Board Blue Badge Guide
I grew up in London and Ireland, married and had three children before qualifying as a professional tourist guide more than 20 years ago.

I've lived in France, Italy, Iran and Thailand so have had great opportunities to experience other lands and cultures, which has made me aware of what is special about my own country. I very much enjoy taking visitors around and enthusiastic interpretation of history, legends and heritage (with plenty of anecdotes) is very much my style.
