Introduction:

I am a Blue Badge Tourist Guide for All Wales and London, based in Pontypridd–Cardiff, specialising in personal, authentic experiences that showcase the real Wales — far beyond the postcard images.

With over 20 years’ experience in the tourism industry and many years living in the UK, I offer tours that combine history, culture, nature and genuine local connections. If you are looking for a friendly, enthusiastic guide with a smile who truly loves what she does, I would be delighted to guide you through Wales from a local and sustainable perspective.

My passions include Welsh history, walking tours, sustainable travel and active outdoor experiences. I love bringing Wales to life through castles, industrial heritage sites and mines, as well as through foodie tours, local wine and produce, and hands-on cultural experiences.

You might find yourself walking with sheep on a working farm, discovering local flavours, or listening to the powerful sound of Welsh male voice choirs. I specialise in off-the-beaten-track tours, combining storytelling, heritage and the outdoors. As a regular hike leader,

I enjoy sharing both the hidden corners of Welsh towns and cities and the spectacular landscapes of the countryside.

I welcome families, solo travellers, educational groups and corporate clients, tailoring each tour to your interests, pace and curiosity — whether you prefer a relaxed cultural walk, an active adventure or a deeper exploration of Welsh life and heritage.
