Tours can also be diverse, such as a mixture of historical, cultural, spiritual and scenic sites, going all the way from John O’Groats to Lands End (opposite ends of the UK). The idea is that you give me an idea of your ‘wish list’ or your specific interests and I will provide you with informed suggestions and a structured and detailed itinerary. All arrangements will be mediated by me and I will provide you with a service that can truly take the pain out your well-deserved vacation.

I have a real interest in the major events in British history and have gained extensive knowledge from visiting historical sites, from London sites to the lesser known but often more fascinating area of the other parts of the UK. I have a personal interest in the Arts including culinary, from West End theatres to opera, from famous works of arts to performing arts and from Michelins star restaurants to micro-breweries.
