A Londoner born and bred, I have been in the industry for over 25 years. First as a tour manager, visiting New York many times and more recently as a London Blue Badge Tourist Guide. I qualified as a London tourist guide in 2011 and with royal babies, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic Games in 2012, the industry was booming until COVID came along.
I have been lucky enough to pivot, providing more than 200 online, live virtual tours. I have also created Blue Badge Premium Virtual Tours, which provides content to members and has created nearly 100 tours for my Blue Badge colleagues, in one of the most difficult economic periods in our history.
My latest project is authenticity.uk.com a London tour company that offers incredible experiences to inbound visitors.
