An award winning London Blue Badge guide, I bring a warm expertise and infectious enthusiasm to all my tours. A History graduate, before becoming a qualified guide I worked at some of Britain’s top heritage attractions, including Stonehenge and Hampton Court Palace. My intimate understanding of these celebrated historic sites enables me to bring them to life, tailoring each tour to ensure that clients receive a personalised experience. As well as history, I’m passionate about theatre and love visiting the West End. I used to work as a guide at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and have a particular passion for guiding sites associated with the Bard. I’m licensed to guide all London’s major attractions, but also enjoy heading off the beaten track to explore some of the city’s hidden gems. I especially enjoy guiding families.

Testimonials
‘We had a great time today. Your tour was perfect. The kids said they want you to come on holiday with us. They were politely indulging us by coming along to the tour but were totally converted by your informative and friendly manner.’
‘We had the absolute best tour guide this morning for the Tower of London tour. Her name was Alice and she was unreal. My kids were hugging her when she left us, she was so endearing! She handled the kids beautifully, answered their million questions and was super patient. I can't say enough good things so please pass on my highest appreciation!’
‘The family loved you and said you were the best guide of the their entire trip. Thank you for taking such great care of them!’
‘Alice was extremely knowledgeable, likable, and skilled in assuring everyone's understanding and comfort.’
‘Alice Trickey was a great guide. It felt like I was getting a custom, personalized tour. I really enjoyed the afternoon walks with Alice and the chance to pepper her with questions. I could not believe the amount of knowledge Alice has packed into her skull. She was also very good at sheparding the group around a busy city without insulting our intelligence. She was great.’
