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.

Dawn and our driver were fantastic. Dawn helped us customize a tour to include Windsor Castle, country side, a pub lunch, and a walking tour of Oxford. The 6 passenger Mercedes minivan was spacious and comfortable. She was incredibly informative and flexible. We thoroughly enjoyed the day.
Dawn is by far the best tour guide we have ever encountered. As if the sights alone weren’t enough, Dawn’s energy and wealth of knowledge made this trip extraordinary. Thank you Dawn!!
We had a wonderful day with Dawn 😊😊 The highlight was Blenheim Palace followed by a pub lunch and stops in several quaint villages in the Cotswolds. Usually this tour includes Oxford but since we had already been there, Dawn customized the day with other sights. Dawn was very pleasant, did not rush us
We enjoyed our informative and pleasureable tour by Dawn.
We had an excellent day with Dawn! First class comfortable Mercedes vehicle and kind driver, waters provided. Dawn sought to give us the best experience possible, found solutions despite closure of some of the buildings at Oxford "due to the Current situation" aka Coronavirus. She gave a very informative and educational tour of Burford, ruins at Minster Lovell, and Blenheim Palace. Darling stop for Lunch at the most delightful place!! Highly recommend scheduling her for your tours!!
From your hotel we take a day's tour out of London to wind down and sample the beautiful Cotswolds area. Depending on where you are staying in London, it's a one to two hour trip to Oxford. We stop in Oxford and stroll through the university colleges and academia soaking up the atmosphere of England's oldest university city. Leaving Oxford we drive out into the delightful Cotswolds landscape to stop off for lunch at one of the oldest inns in the district. The contrast from the energetic speed of London city life to country pace is complete. We wind along the narrow country lanes through pretty Cotswolds villages and their tiny, charming cottages. The second option is all contrast again as we visit Blenheim Palace, seven acres of palace, the largest in England not owned by the Crown. Blenheim Palace is where Sir Winston Churchill was born, and we can make a small detour to see his grave if you wish. You will be returned to your accommodation at the end of the tour.
