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

The real world of spying is stranger than fiction. What we know about the world of espionage is limited to what the world governments and spy organisations want us to know. The information that is released to the general public through declassification, autobiographies from retired spies, and 'leaks' only give us the smallest look into the secretive, selective, and seemingly seductive world of espionage. This spy tour of London cannot reveal everything, but we can tell you what we currently know, and what I know about my family's involvement in espionage during WW2. The aim of this tour is to give you an insight into what is known about the people who keep us safe from behind the scenes, and how they manage to do this without being noticed. Beginning in Swiss Cottage, the starting point for a spy story almost too good to believe which involves the only Brit to receive the Iron Cross, we will take you to the anonymous and infamous sights of London that the spy world would rather the public didn't know.

Your London tour itinerary

The tour includes but is not limited to the following locations. Most of the locations are short (5-10) minute walks apart, but I suggest that we use public transport or a taxi between Whitehall and Vauxhall as walking this section of the tour can be quite tiring. • Waterloo Bridge •The Savoy Hotel • Trafalgar Square • St James Underground Station • The original site of Mi6 • Whitehall • Vauxhall The tour is fully customisable, so if you wish to start somewhere other than Swiss Cottage (Eg. your accommodation or another London tourist attraction) then we will head to the nearest location first and work our way through the locations in an order that best suits you.
