Please note: Between September 2025 and May 2026, I will be supervising Master's Students at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you require a tour on Tuesdays, or Thursdays, please feel free to drop me a message and I will see what I can do with regard to my availability. In June 26 I'll be presenting a paper at the Tourism, Hospitality, and Events International Conference. The paper will consider the personalisation of Tourism experiences based on lived and living experiences of the tour guide. Hi! I'm Dewi, and I've worked as a tour guide for the last 12 years. Wow, how time has flown! Since starting work as a tour guide in 2013, I have built up an impressive reputation for excellence and fantastic customer service with several tour guiding companies. In the autumn of 2018, after working for other companies for five years and moving from a part-time guide to Head Guide and then the maternity cover for the Tour Director of a major UK tourism provider, I decided to begin offering my own unique tours through ToursByLocals. My interest as a guide includes film and TV tourism. I originally trained as an Actor at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and have worked on numerous film and TV productions with companies, including the BBC. In fact, I am the only tour guide in the universe who can say they have stepped through the doors of the Tardis, as I was involved in filming a BBC Doctor Who ident in 2016. I am also a massive history geek who loves the history of the early to mid-20th century, especially the espionage of the Second World War. I love sharing my passion for history with others. All my tours are based on things that I love: film and TV, and my passion as a performer, director and teacher of Shakespeare and History. I can lead tours on everything from James Bond, Doctor Who and Downton Abbey to tours on the life of Sir Winston Churchill, William Shakespeare and the real world of London's secretive Spies. While being based in London, I am also able to conduct tours to South Wales (where the hit TV series Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Sherlock were filmed and where His Dark Materials was filmed in 2018) and can take customers from London to Wales if they wish to explore the beautiful Welsh countryside. I can also accompany clients to the filming locations of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films (London, Oxford and Lacock) as well as the filming locations for the hit TV series and upcoming film of Downton Abbey. Given my range of film and TV knowledge, I can also create custom tours for clients interested in two or more film or TV shows but have only a short amount of time to explore the UK's vast film and TV sites. Currently researching a Doctorate at Queen Mary University of London. Master of Science (MSc) Degree Master of Arts (MA) Degree Bachelor of Arts (BA Hons) Degree Public Liability Insurance Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check. I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding; I can offer a full range of experiences.

Visit the beautiful, and stunning, Cotswolds.
Overview of your London tour
I love spending time out in the country. The beautiful scenery, including bright yellow fields in the spring, the multicoloured country gardens in the summer, and the kaleidoscope of browns, oranges, yellows, and reds in the autumn always take my breath away. Add to this the stunning towns and villages made of soft yellow sandstone and the amazing food and you have the perfect tonic to city living. Indeed, sometimes my partner and I will jump in the car with our camera and a picnic and do this tour on our own just to get away from the hustle and bustle of living in London. Exploring many of the villages that are regularly voted the best places to visit in the Cotswolds, this tour gives you the chance to visit some of the prettiest parts of Britain with someone who is passionate about the past, loves to eat (and knows the best places to stop for food), and who, as an amateur photographer, knows where to get the best photos to make your friends back home jealous of this amazing, almost perfect, day out.
Your London tour itinerary
Starting with a pick up in central London the tour will visit the following locations: Woodstock - where we will briefly visit the grave of the great wartime Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. Chipping Norton - the highest town in Oxfordshire, this scenic town boasts a marvellous former tweed mill and an impressive 15th-century wool church. Moreton in Marsh - believed to be the inspiration for the fictional town of Bree in J R R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Moreton in Marsh is home to The Bell Inn, the inspiration for the famous fictional pub, The Prancing Pony. Chipping Campden is one of my favourite places to stop, and one of the UK's most beautiful tourist destinations. Stow on the Wold a well-known stop for antique lovers. Bourton on the Water, also known as the Venice of the Cotswolds - need I say more? Burford this chocolate box village is famous for its high street and links to King Charles II, as well as Lord Nelson, is a perfect spot for a photo.
