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.

Overview of your London tour

Just an hour from central London this tour takes you to Hampton Court, King Henry VIII's Tudor palace and Christopher Wren's Baroque palace and its spectacular formal gardens, and on to Windsor Castle, the oldest continually inhabited castle in the world set in the historic town of Windsor. We will travel by train from London to Hampton Court Palace and following our tour of the palace and gardens and a pub lunch we will transfer by private chauffeured car to Windsor Castle. At the end of the day, we will take a train back to central London. There is also the option for the whole day to be via chauffeured car - please enquire if you would like details of this. If your preferred date is unavailable, please contact me as I can often flex my availability.

Your London tour itinerary

I will meet you at your central London hotel and we will take the overground train to the wonderful 'two palaces in one' Hampton Court Palace where we will see Henry VIII's splendid Tudor Palace including its old kitchens, the Great Hall and a replica of the king's crown, before touring the 17th Century Baroque Palace built by Sir Christopher Wren for King William and Queen Mary. We will also explore the glorious gardens that border the River Thames. At Windsor Castle, we will visit the magnificent State Rooms, where banquets and royal ceremonies have been held for 100s of years, and St George's Chapel, the site of royal ceremonies and the burial place of many monarchs from King Henry VIII to Queen Elizabeth II. We will stop en route for coffee, lunch, tea, and pub breaks as preferred. [Please note Windsor Castle is not open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and as a working royal residence may be closed on other dates depending on events taking place there].
