I have travelled widely, working in ski resorts, on sailing ships, as summer and winter resort rep, Olympic Games, Winter Olympics, Observer Single Handed Transatlantic Race, America's Cup and Rugby World Cup, in Press Offices, Media Centre, Hospitality, Accreditation. I have worked as a tour guide and a private driver-guide with a people-carrier, for many happy years in UK and occasionally overseas I set up a familiarisation tour for my colleagues for D-Day 60 and am preparing tours for D-Day 70, as well as the Somme and Ypres
I have lived and worked in Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, USA & S Africa and have led tours to such countries as Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, including on a dozen local cruises on the Danube, Rhine, Nile, the Galapagos, QM2 to the Mediterranean and South Africa, a great way to travel!
I am happy to plan off-beat tours to unusual and somewhat secret places at home or abroad, and to spend time planning with my clients in advance.
