I'm an experienced Blue Badge Guide, trained and licensed to guide you on private tours inside key visitor attractions in London and South East England I specialise in custom Blue Badge Guided Private Tours in London and Day Tours out of London (or starting in the South East of England) for independent travelers, small groups, and families. With over 10 years as a Tours by Locals Guide, I've conducted nearly 400 5-star rated tours for visitors of all ages from around the world. My Blue Badge Guide qualifications, earned after nearly two years of rigorous training, allow me to guide clients through iconic sites such as Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, and Windsor Castle. Our comprehensive training covers detailed studies and examinations at significant locations like Royal Greenwich, the British Museum, and the National Gallery. It also includes guided walks around the City of London and panoramic tours across central London by car or coach. My Private Guided Day Tours outside London encompass day trips to Windsor Castle, Canterbury, Dover Castle, Hampton Court Palace, Oxford and Cambridge Universities, Blenheim Palace, the Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Stonehenge. I also specialise in Private Day Tours to gardens, castles, and stately homes, particularly in South East England where I live. These tours can start from London, or from your hotel in the South East of England. Popular tours include Anne Boleyn's Hever Castle, Winston Churchill's Chartwell, Leeds Castle, iconic gardens like Great Dixter, Sissinghurst, Scotney, Nymans, RHS Wisley, and Kew. Additionally, I offer 'off the beaten track' tours of lesser-known gardens and manor houses, as well as the picturesque historic villages and countryside of South East England and The Cotswolds. I cater exclusively to small private groups, including families. My tours are highly customisable to fit your specific needs as part of your pre-trip planning. I aim to show you not just the main attractions but also how to navigate and explore further on your own. While walking is the best way to experience many parts of London, we can also use buses, the Underground 'Tube', riverboats, and black taxi cabs. For those with limited mobility or energy, there is a chauffeured private car tour option. For day trips out of London, travel options include train or a private chauffeured car. I am a graduate in History and Art History from the University of Cambridge, and have 5 'kids' in their thirties, 6 grandchildren, and a couple of dogs.

    Amanda was a wonderful guide! She met us at the tube station and brought us through the Churchill War Rooms, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's and the Tower of London - while pointing out Parliament, Big Ben, Downing Street, Buckingham Palace and the horse guards. She guided us to a delicious local pub for lunch, and offered suggestions for us to complete our day once we left...

    Thank you for your lovely comments - we certainly saw a lot! I’m glad the Uber boat back from the Tower worked out and impressed that you managed to fit in a show in the evening too!

    Amanda was an excellent guide. She used the time well and we were able to accomplish everything on our robust wish list and then some without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. She was engaging, informative and a pleasure to spend the day with and we loved our pub lunch spot she brought us too. Thank you Amanda we had a great day!

    Touring with Amanda was exceptional. She organized the tour so that we dodged much of the crowds and missed the lines. We got to see the important landmarks with Amanda’s depth of knowledge and insights. She was responsive to our needs - both our interests and our physical needs, including noting when we needed a rest and ensuring we understood how to use the Underground ...
