London
English
The world's slowly emerging from the worst of the global Lockdowns, so don't give up on planning that dream trip. Now more than ever be ready to spring into action - the Waiting Game is all but over!!!
With many popular British TV series making it on to small screens around the world and being repeated on terrestrial and subscription channels during our enforced time indoors, you've had the perfect excuse to catch up or revisit the dramas that have had us gripped so you can come with me and walk on to the real-life camera sets once you're here.
Fancy following in the path of the magical boy wizard Harry Potter, or indulging in the pure yesteryear nostalgia of Downton Abbey by visiting its real-life counterpart, Highclere Castle? These are just two of the locations where we could go to realise your dream of the perfect tour.
Or maybe you want to see the enchanting settings that make up the well-trodden tourist trail on a day's outing from your London base. Oxford, Cambridge, Windsor Castle, Blenheim Palace, Stonehenge, Bath, Salisbury, Stratford on Avon, Hampton Court, Salisbury Cathedral - these are just some of the exciting places we could reach.
In London, we can go to all the usual places you've perhaps only seen on film - on a highlight tour to see Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace from where we can take in the colourful Changing of the Guard, the Houses of Parliament, Kensington Palace, St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, Greenwich, Eltham Palace to name but a few.
Moreover, I can do more than take you up to venues such as Westminster Abbey, St Paul's, the Tower of London and Windsor because as the holder of the coveted Blue Badge qualification, I am one of those who has the exclusive right to guide you inside locations like these.
How we get there is just as much a part of the experience as the destination itself. If you're part of a group I can take you by coach or minibus depending on how many you are, or arrange a private limousine if you're a smaller party. We can even use public transport including the iconic London taxis - not only because it's more economical, but also because travelling as we do over here is a great way to immerse yourself in British life. Wherever you decide to go and however you choose to get there, let me guide you and make your travel experience a great one!
Of course, once we all get going again, there'll be a "new normal" way of travelling to and visiting attractions. But if the sheer innovation and co-operation of everyone around the world in managing their lives while they were behind closed doors is anything to go by, we'll all find a way through!
And as people always like to know something about the person guiding them, here's a bit about me: my background is in journalism, and I still use the communication skills of that profession in my guiding work. My interests span the usual, such as reading, TV and cinema, to the unusual: cemeteries! No, I'm not weird or checking out my possible final resting place, I assure you - graveyards tell fascinating stories of their permanent occupants, and tourism amongst "the villages of the dead" is on the up, believe me!
So if you want to make your visit over here count and be in the company of someone a bit wacky, fun but knowledgeable, get in touch - I can't wait for our adventure to start!
