I booked Amanda for an older couple who were friends of mine. She did a wonderful job adapting her tour to the age of the participants and making sure they saw everything they wanted to see. She was incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, and communicative. I highly recommend her!
Karen D.United States
Amanda is an amazing, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, passionate tour guide. We were so fortunate to have her show us Guernsey. This tour was better than any ship tour could be. We learned so much about Guernsey's WWII history, and we loved visiting the unique Little Chapel. As a lifelong Guernsey resident, Amanda's knowledge and involvement in Guernsey is heartfelt and sincere. She tailored the tour to our interests, which we appreciated. We would give 10 stars if we could and highly recommend Amanda.
Pamela W.United States
Our two days with Amanda were absolutely great. We wanted to learn more about the German occupation of the Island and Amanda took us all around the different sites. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. She also shared some personal stories and we learned a great deal. We would recommend her to anyone visiting Guernsey.
Thomas M.United States
Amanda took 15 of us on an absolutely wonderful tour of Guernsey. We focused on the German occupation and her passion and knowledge on the history of the occupation is just incredible. She showed us places that ship tours could not. Everyone on our tour raved about the opportunity to see Guernsey with such a personable and knowledgeable guide. Thank you Amanda!

She is a great tour guide and would recommend her to anyone!! We came with our mom for her 84th birthday and she mentioned spending time with Amanda as the highlight of her trip
Your St Peter Port tour itinerary
Your itinerary for this 6-hour tour will be devised especially for you. As a locally born tour guide, Committee member of the Guernsey Occupation Society, and volunteer for Festung Guernsey, I have a particular interest in WWll and can provide unique insight with visual aids of personal family documents from this important period of our history. My suggestions for this tour would include:- a) The Little Chapel which is a unique building made purely of china, shells, and pebbles b) The German Occupation Museum which is a private museum, an absolute must for anyone interested in WWll c) A visit to a WWll fortification situated on private land d) Hauteville House, the residence of Victor Hugo during his time in exile from France, where he wrote some of his masterpieces including Toilers of the Sea, and completed Les Misérables. The house is a work of art designed by Hugo himself e) The tour would also include a part island drive to view our amazing coastline We will return you to your hotel or the tender pier
