Introduction:

Hello, I was born in Oxford and have family roots in the city dating back over 100 years. For the last 24 years I have lived with my family on the edge of the Cotswolds.

I am a Blue Badge Guide for the Heart of England and a specialist Green Badge Guide for the university city of Oxford. I would enjoy sharing with you the countryside, towns and villages I love.

My background is in wildlife conservation and education.

Please visit my website to find out more details of some tour ideas including tours of Oxford; walks or driving tours in the Cotswolds; Downton Abbey filming locations in Oxfordshire; sleuthing out Inspector Morse, Lewis and Endeavour sites in Oxford; family tours of Oxford including looking for clues about Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter; or I can design a bespoke tour for you.

Some comments about my tours:

“excellent: informative and amusing guided  tour of Oxford … I really enjoyed your carefully researched facts, and stories about the old town”

"A very enjoyable tour of the Oxford colleges. Although naturally very historical in content, Tabby gave this information in a manner which was very entertaining and engrossing. She is a lady who is very knowledgeable about her home city and she provided many anecdotes throughout the tour. I would highly recommend this guided excursion to anyone who is interested in discovering more about Oxford and its colleges."

“nice and extremely knowledgeable”

“told us lots of local stories as well as the history of the region”

"For those of you wanting a first-rate tour around Oxford, whether you are visiting for the first time or revisiting, this should be your first port of call. Tabby Lucas, our friendly walking tour guide, was so knowledgeable and helped to bring alive the amazing history of Oxford, whether it related to the wizarding world of Harry Potter or the academic world of the University."
