Tour guide in Lerwick Anita G.

Hello, My name is Anita and I am a native Shetlander who is proud and enthusiastic to show off my homeland. I was born and brought up in Shetland and my family lives and works here. Prior to becoming a Tourist Guide, I worked in schools doing Learning Support; as a Carer for the elderly; as an Operations Supervisor in the seafood industry and as Senior Passenger Services Officer at the airport. I decided to become a full-time Tourist Guide for two main reasons: Firstly, I love to show off Shetland's scenery & nature, and I enjoy sharing my knowledge of the local history, culture, modern life & work in Shetland. Secondly, I find it very interesting to meet new people from all over the world and hear about their life at home! My local knowledge means you will be able to enjoy a privately curated tour that hopefully avoids all the crowds. I am proud to have 5 star reviews on Google and other sites. I have a friendly, relaxed approach and provide a quality service that puts your needs firmly at the centre, to ensure making the best of your time in Shetland. All my tours are fully customizable and I will communicate well with you beforehand to curate your own special adventure. When I'm not out with my guests exploring these beautiful islands, I like to spend time with the family (including babysitting and dogsitting!), knit traditional Fair Isle, cook, sew and travel. I always enjoy learning new things and enjoy refreshing & updating my CPD over the winter months via the Shetland Heritage Association and other providers. I hope you decide to join me for a trip to discover the spirit of Shetland, whether it is for part of a day, a full day or a few days. I look forward to sharing all that my beautiful island home has to offer, and I am confident you will leave with memories that will last a lifetime.
