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.

Overview of your London tour
Highclere Castle may be closed, but you can still enjoy some of the magic of Downton and the beauty of the Cotswolds on this fantastic Downton Day In The Cotswolds Tour - and to be honest, this is one of my favourite tours as I get to visit some of my all-time favourite places! In fact, you might have to drag me away from the pigs at Cogges, the filming location of Yew Tree Farm, and stop me gossiping with the very friendly staff who I have now known for almost 10 years! As they say, "time flies when you're having fun!". Not only does this tour visit places which have a special place in my heart, but it also means a lot to me, as it was a tour I took my partner on during the COVID19 pandemic - when for the first time ever we both had lots of free time on our hands. We took a picnic and had a romantic meal sat by a stream (which can be arranged as part of the tour, just drop me a message) and watched the world go by. Its a memory, and tour, I'll always treasure.
Your London tour itinerary
Yew Tree Farm - Asthall - the childhood home of the famous, and infamous, Milford sisters where you will learn about how these sisters became some of the most famous people in 20th century Britain and how they link to Hitler and The Dukes of Devonshire. The Swan Pub, Swinbrooke - a pub so good former Prime Minister David Cameron is known to drink here! It is at the Swan where we will stop for a quick, but delicious, pub lunch Burford - your chance to shop for some Cotswolds mementoes, gaze at the stunning architecture and take as many photos as your phone, and camera can take. Shilton - a charming village, complete with forded river, 500-year-old cottages and an ancient pub. Bampton - whilst here I will explain all about filming, give you chance to take photos outside some of the iconic buildings and, if they are feeling friendly, introduce you to some of the local people who adore the TV show almost as much as they love the people who now visit the beautiful village that they call home

Transportation will be via Black London Cab, with a qualified London Black Cab driver. The cab and the driver will be with us for the duration of the tour. This will allow us to be picked up and dropped off as needed throughout the tour and will give us somewhere to leave personal items such as coats, umbrellas etc. Black cabs can also use restricted lanes that private vehicles cannot use.
