Introduction:

A guided tour should, above all, be fun and enjoyable. I'm brimming with enthusiasm and give lively, entertaining tours. Yes, you'll get facts, but lightly laced into riveting stories.

I hope it will seem effortless to you; you don't have to know about my careful and conscientious behind-the-scenes research and planning.

My guiding experience is varied, although I specialise in STUDENT GROUPS, SPECIAL-INTEREST GROUPS, and CORPORATE GROUPS. (But if you're not in that category, please feel welcome - I'm sure we'll get on very well!)

I was born in London, and as I opened my eyes I fell in love with the place and have never strayed! The rest of England is pretty fantastic too. I was always a communicator. I've worked as an English teacher, journalist, editorial director, complementary health therapist, and managed a tour operating company before finding my 'vocation' as a tourist guide.

My past life has helped. Studying for my teaching degree allowed me to study English literature in depth (what pleasure!). I also taught English as a Foreign Language, and can quite happily guide people with limited English, and with virtually no knowledge of Britain, its culture or its history. I speak clearly and tell lots of great stories (so they tell me)!

Walking tours, coach panoramics, day trips out of London, gallery tours; what fun they've all been! I've learned that despite the most careful planning, surprises will always occur, but I manage to stay unphased and always cheerful.
