I have a great passion for the city and my joy is to share my knowledge of traditional London as well as the secret parts of the city in a light-hearted and friendly way. My training as a counsellor and drama therapist has given me the skills to engage with people of all ages and abilities and I am empathetic and flexible to people's needs. I am also a professional blue badge tourist guide. Only one day in London? I would love to have the opportunity to show you the main highlights in a day or half day together with some more offbeat areas. London has welcomed people from all over the world and I have a particular interest in the many diverse communities that have made their home here. I specialize in Jewish London (I have written a PhD and a book on the history of the area) and walks around the old Jewish East End and in the quiet moments when not guiding I am indulging in another passion -- going to all the latest theatre, films and exhibitions. - London Blue Badge Tourist Guide - City of Westminster Guide - City of London Guide I am not a driver guide. I will guide using public transport.

London, one of the most fascinating cities in the world, can appear daunting for a first time visitor. Where do you begin to discover the famous places and learn about the rich history? I have created this tour so that the majority of the main sites can be viewed in half a day. This is one of my favourite tours as I am filled with excitement when showing London to a first time visitor and being able to tell them interesting facts and stories about the world famous locations as well as the best places to shop and the top exhibitions and theatre.
We had a wonderful tour! Isabelle personalized our tour and made it perfectly suited for us. She was friendly and full of knowledge. She even gave us tips and suggestions for things to do after the tour. At the end of the tour, she brought us to a great restaurant where we had a fabulous dinner after saying our goodbyes. I highly recommend Isabelle.
Isabelle is very knowledgeable about London and its sights. She stayed in communication with me and was prompt. She is highly educated and, as a result, I learned a lot about the history of London etc. I highly recommend her.
We had such a wonderful time with Isabelle!!! She was able to show us the ins and outs of everywhere we went. Her itinerary was perfect for me and my teenage son. We had the best time with her!! She is so passionate about her city and we feel so lucky we had this tour with her!
Isabelle was, in a word, wonderful. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable about the sites and British history, she took the time to ask our family questions about our interests to better personalize our tour. What a delightful morning.
Isabelle is an absoutely fabulous tour guide! My husband and I visited London for the first time for our honeymoon and Isabelle welcomed us into the city with open arms. Isabelle is not only friendly and warm, but also beyond knowledgeable and passionate about London's history and charm. She customized the tour to our preferences, including a delightful coffee break during our travels. She even took us on the Tube and taught us how to use the transport system, which allowed us to expand our horizons and see even more of London than expended during our honeymoon. We would recommend Isabelle as a tour guide to anyone!
We had a wonderful afternoon with Isabelle. We met up shortly upon arriving. She tailored our tour to us which was perfect. She gave us a wonderful lay of the land providing lots of history as we walked. Her insights and suggestions on how to spend the rest of our time in London including must sees as well as out of the ordinary personal favorites will assist in shaping the rest of our time in the city. Highly recommend - schedule early in your trip to make use of all of her knowledge.
This is a suggested itinerary but can be adapted according to personal requirements. I want to make it your special day. - Piccadilly Circus - Changing of the Guard (if it is a morning tour and day of Guard change) - Buckingham Palace - Westminster Abbey - Houses of Parliament - Trafalgar Square - London Bridge and Borough Market

This is a walking tour and the itinerary is flexible. After seeing the main sites of Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus, there is the possibility of taking the subway over to London Bridge and end in the wonderful Borough Market
