Hello and welcome to glorious England ! My name is Nick and for most of my adult life I have been a wondering, wandering academic full of wanderlust. I'm passionate about travel, very fond of meeting fellow travellers, photography, driving to new places, learning on the way and returning to old favourites with new eyes. Having lived in many different countries and worked aboard cruise ships in shore excursions they are still a few I have yet to visit and believe there is still much to discover. Although I was born in, and my ancestors and progeny hail from, England I have spent many years in British Columbia, Canada. I no longer have a British accent, which is a pity, but at least we will speak the same language, eh. England is the quintessential land to visit and to be a guide in as there's such a layered history and many diverse places to tour. From prehistoric monumental megaliths, Roman baths, Anglo-Saxon forts, Norman castles, medieval cathedrals, Tudor palaces, Georgian county houses, picturesque seaside villages, vibrant modern cities and the colourful characters who have lived here it could take a lifetime to see it all. When I travel to a new country I find that my time is limited and that often a private excursion is the best way to make use of it. I do not wish to be herded onto a big crowded tour bus waiting for strangers. One wants to travel with chosen companions, start at the location and time you desire, see only those places you are keen to see, have your own questions answered and at your own schedule and pace. All of my private shore excursions and tours include all of these features and can be further customised to suit you and your entourage. They also include private transport in a roomy luxury vehicle which is perfect for touring. For seamless travel and to save you time and expense all of my tours (except London -too diverse !) include admission. Framlingham College, Simon Fraser University, University of Ottawa, BSS., University of Alberta School of Law, Reading law. Member of English Heritage, the National Trust, & Historic Royal Palaces. TFL licensed private hire driver~guide, with comprehensive public carriage liability insurance & DBS. I am not a Blue Badge guide so will not be able to guide you inside most of the historic monuments in London such as Westminster Abbey, St Paul's cathedral and the Tower of London.
