I have a great passion for the city and my joy is to share my knowledge of traditional London as well as the secret parts of the city in a light-hearted and friendly way. My training as a counsellor and drama therapist has given me the skills to engage with people of all ages and abilities and I am empathetic and flexible to people's needs. I am also a professional blue badge tourist guide. Only one day in London? I would love to have the opportunity to show you the main highlights in a day or half day together with some more offbeat areas. London has welcomed people from all over the world and I have a particular interest in the many diverse communities that have made their home here. I specialize in Jewish London (I have written a PhD and a book on the history of the area) and walks around the old Jewish East End and in the quiet moments when not guiding I am indulging in another passion -- going to all the latest theatre, films and exhibitions. - London Blue Badge Tourist Guide - City of Westminster Guide - City of London Guide I am not a driver guide. I will guide using public transport.

The only way to see the tower of London & the cities Landmarks in half a day.
Overview of your London tour
We will be driven through London in a private vehicle, allowing us to get from place to place quickly and comfortable. Truely the only way to see London in half a day - this tour is for those with just a short time in London and eager to see as much as possible in an easy and relaxed manner. I am a trained drama therapist and just love stories and drama! This tour gives me the opportunity to do just that, starting with the tales of great intrigue at the Tower of London. We will then make our way back to central London, making a short stop at Borough Market (an absolute must for foodies!) before going on to view the city's world famous landmarks. Although I am an academic social historian, I feel it is important for you to know what is going on in London today and I like to incorporate that together with the city's rich history.

What a fun afternoon we had today with the wonderful Isabelle S.! She picked us up at our hotel right on time and showed our family of 4 all the hot spots in London. We spent most of our time at The Tower of London which was fascinating. She showed us the best spots to get coffee and souvenirs and had cool stories to tell. Isabelle had a genuine interest in our family and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her. She’s easy to be with and is so relaxed and amiable. Isabelle is the perfect guide. Thank you Isabelle!

Our tour guide, Isabel, was nothing short of fabulous both before and during our tour of London! Cruise circumstances changed and she jumped through hoops to show us the best of London. She arranged a wonderful driver, Paul, who drove to the ends of the earth to pick up the four of us, entertain us along the way and safely return us to the ship. Yours by Locals can be proud to be represented by these fine professionals!

We recently took the Tower of London tour which was guided by Isabelle. This was a wonderful tour to see many of London's most popular locations in a private car without having to deal with cabs or the subway. Isabelle was extremely knowledgeable and you could tell she loved showing us her city. Anyone who wants to see London without hassle should take this tour.

My husband and I booked the tour to introduce our ten year old granddaughter to the highlights of London. We wanted the experience to be interesting and engaging for her. Our guide Isabelle Seddon delivered royally! Our granddaughter said the tour was one of the highlights of the trip and left her wanting to learn more! And we grandparents enjoyed the tour and learned a lot as well. A wonderful half day.
