Hello and welcome to the South East of England and London, as a guide in this area I have two professional qualifications (known as the Blue Badge) awarded by the Institute of Tourist Guides. I’m based in the beautiful medieval city of Canterbury where I'm also a fully qualified Canterbury Cathedral guide and Canterbury City guide. I would be delighted to develop a private, bespoke tour just for you and your party which can be geared to your particular interests. It could also include an exploration of the surrounding country areas and, perhaps taking in local heritage sites such as the White Cliffs of Dover, its stunning castles, such as Leeds, Dover or Walmer Castles or to beautiful gardens including Sissinghurst or Great Dixter. As a London guide I enjoy bringing to life the stories of this fascinating city. It is a huge treasure trove waiting for you to explore. It could be the fabulous wealth of royal London history, its major sites, art and architecture or some of its quirky streets. Included in my tours are the characters associated with its past:, famous, infamous as well as the everyday folk who have contributed to its multi-layered history. Since I have lived in the South East of England for much of my life, I know its nooks and crannies well; the villages, country roads, good places to stop off for refreshments such as country inns or tea rooms.This area can be enjoyed in so many different ways, walking tours, taxi tours. I can meet you at a train station, Dover Cruise Terminal, your hotel. The choice and the opportunities to enjoy it are many and varied. Combining the best of the South East with our great metropolis of London, I am qualified to guide you around the major sites, such as Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London and the National Gallery. I am fascinated with our capital's history, both in its buildings as well as the many characters from all walks of life who have contributed to its development. Rather like its great river, Old Father Thames, London never stops moving and evolving making it always an exciting place to visit.
