Warm welcome to my country and city, My name is Patricia. I have been a professional licensed tour guide in the UK for more than 24 years now and holder of the prestigious Blue Badge. I also have an MA in Japanese history and Japanese language. I am fully insured and licensed to guide in most official historic sites in the UK including inside of Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, Windsor Castle, Parliament and a number of museums in London. I do tours by tourist van, car, taxi or/and on foot. I have a passion for British history and can also show you the less known hidden gems of London, the city I have lived in more than half of my life. I can make a bespoke tour, tailor-made to your personal interest and time and feel confident that I can help you create unforgettable memories on your trip. Just drop me a line and we can work together to create your perfect trip! Apart from English, I also am fluent in Spanish, French, Dutch and Japanese, all languages I use regularly as a tour guide and interpreter. My interests are broad and range from royal history to architecture, art history, theatre to film locations and I have recently also specialised in visits to England's most beautiful gardens. . . In the past, I have lived in a number of other countries including Belgium, Spain and Japan. Travelling as a family with kids?
