I am a professional Blue Badge Tour Guide qualified to guide throughout the whole of London and South East England providing quality private tours customized to what you want to see and do. As a holder of the coveted Blue Badge, I am one of the privileged few permitted to guide within the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Canterbury Cathedral, Windsor Castle and many other historic royal palaces. My specialties include London highlights - just right for first timers in the capital, and for those returning to London, the hidden gems. My personal favourites include Tudor Royalty in South East England especially the life and times of King Henry VIII from Hampton Court Palace to Hever Castle; Canterbury and its cathedral, shore excursions from Dover and the glorious gardens of England. It's the region's social history that really excites me - how people lived in earlier times, the land and cityscapes they developed and the contrasts with today's lifestyles. Bringing these to life is a passion and a privilege. I have combined my earlier career experiences with my best-loved interests to present the delights of the region in an entertaining & informative style.

Take the scenic route to your destination and make the most of the day by visiting interesting sites along the way. The transfer tour is customised to suit your timings and your interests. Places of interest near to Southampton include Stonehenge, the author Jane Austen's house and, nearer to London, Hampton Court Palace and of course Windsor Castle. These are examples of some of the more well known sites along the way, there are many others, or you may just want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the area. Depending on your schedule there may be time to squeeze in a stop at a village pub for lunch. Fora transfer from Dover, there are plenty of castles to choose from! This tour is currently priced for eight hours but can be reduced to a half day programme to suit your requirements.
Dawn was amazing! Picked us up at the port and drove us to our London hotel. We stopped at Stonehenge and Dawn had so much information to share with us. She also took us to a local pub for lunch and it was so good! Would highly recommend.
Dawn was an excellent tour guide. Was early at the cruise port to pick us up. Visited Westminster Abby, Buckingham Palace and the Roman London Amphiteatre. Dawn was knowledgeable and full of information. She also took us to a terrific small pub off the beaten path. Excellent food! Friendly, engaging, personable. Lovely personality. Highly recommend Dawn when visiting London and it's sorrounding areas. The best of the best!!!
Dawn was excellent. She picked us up at the airport. Then took us to Stonehenge for a terrific tour! She was engaging, lots of history facts and great sense of humor. Afterwards Dawn took us to a quaint, away from your typical tour trap Pub for a delicious lunch. Highly recommend Dawn! Can't wait to see her again after our cruise!
Dawn was wonderful. She was waiting for us at the cruise terminal and we sped off to London which was almost a two hour drive. She talked the entire trip. Our first stop was Westminster Abbey where we started our tour with tea. Excellent tour. So much information. It was a cold day with on and off rain. Much of our sight seeing was from the car unfortunately but Dawn made the City come alive with her commentary. We ended our 8 hour tour with a trip to Harrods and of course Dawn came with us! A delight!
The itinerary depends entirely on your schedule. Please discuss with me your transfer timings and I can suggest places of interest you may wish to visit. As an experienced, qualified tour guide I will ensure that there is no possibility of the itinerary over running and you missing your ship or plane.
