I am a Londoner born and bred who has over 10 years experience in the business having worked before at the likes of the Big Bus Company, Handel House Museum and the Transport Museum as a guide. I offer tours with a fantastic mix of my natural bubbling enthusiasm, an extensive knowledge of all things London and the flexibility to cater to all your personal needs. I am a guide who remembers at all times that you are on holiday. If you want a guide that simply loves London and showing it off to people then I am your tour guide!
