A little about me – I am a Londoner (‘born and bred’ as the saying goes) and, following the rigorous training, in March 2005 I qualified as a registered Tourist Guide (with the Blue Badge tourist guiding qualification, the highest guiding qualification in the UK). Since then I have worked exclusively as a professional tourist guide. The Blue Badge qualification allows me to guide in key visitor sites such as Westminster Abbey, The Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral. I have guided groups of all sizes (from single individual via couples, families and all through to double-decker bus parties of around 60 individuals). Since 2007 I have been personally recommended by American travel writer Rick Steves in his London and European guide books which has led to the opportunity to work with clients in developing the itineraries that best suited their needs and interests (taking into account factors such as venues opening days, dates, times and peak periods). For me guiding is both a privilege and a great pleasure. The last year has of course been tough for everyone involved in the Travel and Tourism industry and I have truly missed the day to day experience of guiding visitors in and around London and other locations (ie Windsor, Stonehenge). I am able to offer themed tours Iconic London, Shakespeare’s London, Beatles London and Hidden London (to name a few). My ethos is that visitors enjoy and are entertained by what they see and hear (and learn along the way!)

Hello! I would like to welcome you to London, my home and the city I love. As well as being an experienced Blue Badge Tour Guide (the ultimate qualification in guiding) I am also a City of London Guide, City of Westminster Guide, Windsor and Eton Guide and Tate Gallery Guide, so wherever we go you'll be in good hands. Only Blue Badge tour guides are permitted to guide inside certain locations, such as Westminster Abbey, Windsor Castle and the Tower of London. My aim is to provide you with enthusiastic, informative and fun private tours which ensure that your London experience will be the best. I was born in the North of England but spent much of my childhood living in India and the Middle East. I moved to London for a year to study on a postgraduate course and never left - working, bringing up my children and developing my career in guiding here. Apart from a few years living in Japan and Singapore, London has been my home for 30 years. I believe there is something for everyone here in London, 2000 years of history rubbing shoulders in a contemporary city with modern architecture, fashion and art. Whatever you are interested in, whether it is royalty, castles, palaces, traditions, galleries, museums or modern culture I can tailor a tour for you. My bespoke tours include walking tours, tours by public transport ( bus, tube, boat or train), or I can organize a car with a driver or a minibus. Within London we can cover the major sites--Westminster Abbey, Royal London, Buckingham Palace, Changing of the Guard, Churchill War Rooms, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower of London or explore less well-known districts like Bermondsey, Shoreditch or Spitalfields. Out of London Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Salisbury, Bath, Dover, Leeds Castle, Hever Castle are a few of the many wonderful places that can be easily reached in a day trip. It would be my great pleasure to welcome you to my city and I hope to see you soon. . . . Liz Covid 19 notice - I have been certified "Good to Go" by Visit England.

Review of my 5-day tours with Toshi M

Toshi is a decent guy. I am grateful for his additional help to me in finding the 2 meeting places that I signed up with other companies in Osaka. He often offered to take pictures at the sightseeing spots for me since I am traveling solo. Some aspects Toshi /GOWITHGUIDE can do better: 1. The company needs to have a more rigid screening process. The picture Toshi put on the website looks like a middle-aged man, but he maybe a lot older than that. I was surprised to see him on Sept 12. He came with a cane because he injured his angel. At some major sites, he did not go with me to the actual spots. Sometimes I got lost due to our walking speed/distractions, and it took more time for us to find each other. GOWITHGUIDE should have a policy asking for doctor’s certificate that the person is physically fit to do the walking and climbing in hot and cold days. 2. He was not very knowledgeable on the areas that he advertised. Lots of time he needed to stop to ask for directions. The first day he came to meet me at 11:01 since he could not find my hotel! We were supposed to meet at 9:30 am. He also told me that his wife has Parkinson’s disease he has to help her for her morning routines. With high temperature everyday I wish we could start tours earlier, but I didn’t feel comfortable to ask him. The time spent on finding directions was calculated into my 7-hour schedule. 3. Totally, I paid him/GOWITHGUIDE more than $1000 (paying to the company upfront and paying him the transportation and lunch daily directly) Here the company should make it clear about transportation and lunch policy. Overall, I don’t feel my money was well-spent. He did accomplish hotel meeting and sending-me-back job. The sightseeing part did not meet my expectations. I thought it was too late to change a guide when I met him the first day. So I worked with him till the end. Although overall he is a decent guy, he lacked the ability to do a better job as a tour guide. I can provide a longer review.
