  • I will meet you outside Le Deli Robuchon on the corner of Piccadilly and Bolton Street, time to be agreed.
  • Unlike some other guides, I specialise in just five areas of London, Mayfair being one of them. This means that I have detailed knowledge of the area which I pass on to my clients in a fun and interesting way.
  • 100% of my Trip Advisor/Viator reviews are graded 'excellent' and as I now have over 160 reviews in total, I must be doing something right!
  • I prefer to guide small groups of up to five family or friends so everyone can hear what I am saying above the usual street noises of a busy city. Also, everyone can ask as many questions as they like.
  • I ALWAYS contact my clients in advance of a tour so if you have not heard from me one week before your tour date, please contact me.
  • I only accept bookings directly from customers. Any bookings made by a travel agent on behalf of a customer will be cancelled.
