Introduction:

I am one of the few guides qualified to guide throughout Wales, Chester and Liverpool, offering visitors a seamless experience across some of Britain's most fascinating and varied regions.

As a Wales Blue Badge Dragon Guide, Liverpool City Region Blue Badge Guide and Chester Green Badge Guide, I can help visitors explore everything from Roman remains and medieval castles to maritime heritage, dramatic landscapes and vibrant modern culture — all with a single guide who understands how these places connect.

Based in North Wales, I lead private tours, shore excursions, walking tours, coach tours and multi-day itineraries for visitors who want to go beyond the guidebook and gain a deeper understanding of the places they visit.

Whether we are exploring Roman Chester, Liverpool's waterfront, the castles of North Wales or the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia), my aim is not simply to show places but to bring them to life through stories, history and local insight.

I particularly enjoy helping visitors understand the links between landscape, history and culture, and how these have shaped the character of the region over centuries.

From a two-hour city walk to a fully customised tour across Wales and the North West, I strive to create experiences that are informative, enjoyable and memorable.
