I am an experienced Blue Badge Guide. I specialise in private sightseeing tours of London and tours of England that are customised to suit your wishes. The BLUE BADGE qualification is awarded by The Institute of Tourist Guiding, and is the benchmark for guiding excellence in Britain.

It guarantees that you have a top quality tour guide on your travels, showing some of the marvels London has to offer, as well as offering tours outside London.

The demanding training and examinations taken over a period of 18 months ensures that you have a top quality tour guide on your travels. Having studied languages at university, I then moved to New York where I obtained an MA in Economics. My time spent in the US was a great experience and has given me a special affinity when guiding Americans.

Beyond guiding, I am interested in the arts and have completed a part-time course at Sotheby's in decorative arts. I also serve as a magistrate in my local court, a voluntary position where one adjudicates on less serious legal cases.

With three nearly grown-up children, I feel very comfortable guiding families and enjoy sharing the richness of England and its history with children and adults alike.

My vehicle is a Chrysler Grand Voyager Executive XS - features:

• Seats up to 6 people in comfort
• Fully air conditioned
• Stow-n-go seating for versatility
• Exceptional luggage capacity.
• Internal DVD Player (ideal for children)
• Sleek black exterior, leather interior.

But most of all, this particular vehicle provides excellent visibility through large, high, windows, so you don't miss those crucial bits on your London and England sightseeing tours.
