My name says it all, or does it? My family originate from mid-Wales but in actual fact, I was brought in Portsmouth on the South Coast of England. When I left school I headed for the bright lights of the city and joined the Metropolitan Police with which I stayed until 2012 finishing my service as a Detective Inspector. Between 2011 and 2013 I trained qualified as a London Blue Badge Guide and so have been trained to guide the British Museum, St Paul's Cathedral and the National Gallery. As a Blue Badge Guide, I am one of the few guides authorised to guide in Westminster Abbey, Tower of London and Windsor Castle. I now seek out hidden corners and delight in the smiles on the faces of my new friends when we discover something new (I always headed down back alleys and side streets when on patrol and that habit stays with me). My tours are focused on London but I enjoy day trips out of the City and regularly travel out to Stonehenge, and Windsor. On a tour with me, you will see the main attractions but you will also see them from a slightly different perspective. Approaching from a back street or from a rooftop. Let's just see what we can do. My top tip - ALWAYS CHECK THAT YOUR GUIDE IS A QUALIFIED BADGEHOLDER AND IS QUALIFIED AND INSURED TO GUIDE YOU. Member of the Institute of Tourist Guides and qualified Blue Badge Guide for London and South West England membership of which includes Public Liability Insurance. Licensed by Transport for London to carry 6 passengers.

Travelling from Central London we will drive to Stonehenge, visit its exhibition centre where will learn some of its history and discuss its purpose before being taken by shuttle bus to the Stones themselves. The path around the stone circle is laid out to give you the best opportunity to explore its unique structure and understanding of its construction. (If the weather is with us, we'll try a little bit of witchcraft). From Stonehenge we will head to Windsor Castle where will tour the grounds before visiting the State Apartments and (if available), take a look inside St George's Chapel, made famous in recent years as being the location of royal weddings.
