I live on the beautiful Kent coast in the south east of England. I would be delighted to welcome you to my corner of the country and show you just how stunning the South East of England is with its gorgeous countryside, magnificent gardens, medieval towns and picturesque villages. I have always felt privileged to live in such a wonderful area that is so rich in places to visit. Since I qualified as a professional tour guide and was awarded the highly respected Blue Badge, it has given me the possibility to share my enthusiasm for the region with guests who come from all over the world. There are so many amazing sites in the counties of Kent and East Sussex that you could spend your whole vacation here. On our tour, we may find ourselves strolling along the narrow streets of a medieval town such as Rye, driving along idyllic country lanes or perhaps stopping off in a picture-postcard village such as Biddenden for a traditional cream tea or pub lunch. You will feel very safe and comfortable riding along in my very own 8-seater Mercedes_Benz V Class. This car with its excellent all-round visibility, panoramic glass roof and easy-access electric rear doors is considered to be one of the best in its class for touring. It also allows us the possibility to visit places that are inaccessible to tour buses and large groups. If you have any historical interests such as the Tudors, Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill or World War 2 history, I can also create a customised tour especially for you. If you are a keen gardener, perhaps you would like to visit one of our world-famous gardens such as Great Dixter or Sissinghurst. Wherever we go, my aim is for you to have the most enjoyable day possible while discovering something new about the history, the people and the daily life over here in England. I love sharing a good anecdote or two and will do my best to make sure your day is interesting, entertaining and memorable.

Tanya was the perfect combination of guide, driver, traveling companion and (now) friend. We spent a terrific three days exploring Kent and its castles and sights. Tanya was very knowledgeable, friendly and informative. She picked us up at our hotel each morning, drove us to the various sites (with background commentary on the way), then expertly guided us through the...

Hi David, Thank you so much for your very kind words! I really enjoyed meeting you all and had wonderful 3 days! I'm very glad to hear that you loved your time here in Kent. Hope to see you again soon, Best wishes, Tanya
An excellent tour by Tanya. Her depth of knowledge truly enhanced our visit. She covered from the sites associated with powerful families down to pirates and the Merimaid Inn. She accommodated our slower pace. I would never have gotten this much out of any other offered tour.

Hi Linda, Thank you very much for your kind words! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed your tour! Very warm wishes, Tanya
It was only my wife and myself on this tour which made it uniquely tailored to us. Tanya and driver and guide was amazingly informed and we shared a lot of stories about gardens and our particular interest in Rye and EH Benson. Highly recommend this as a way of having a very effective day out.

Dear Brian, Thank you very much for your kind feedback! It was such a pleasure meeting you both and sharing with you my knowledge of more niche topics which is not often in demand :)
This was a very informative tour: we learned a lot about the history of this part of England, and enjoyed spending time in lovely Rye. Tanya is an excellent guide: she really knows her stuff and was able to answer all our questions.
