Tours from London with a Professional Tour Guide
These are some of my favourite places a train ride from central London. Alternatively, I can arrange for a private luxury vehicle to take us.
 Hampton Court Palace
On the banks of the River Thames, this royal palace makes for a splendid day. See the magnificent Great Hall lined with priceless tapestries where Henry VIII’s courtiers dined and great entertainments took place. Explore the Tudor kitchens and see how tastes changed the decoration of royal apartments through the centuries.
Strolling through the colourful gardens allows us to see the history of garden design. There is also a famous maze to get lost in!
 Windsor and Eton
Visit the Queen's favourite home and England's oldest inhabited castle. See where state banquets take place and admire the priceless paintings from the Royal Collection. I will show you the stunning St George's Chapel where Henry VIII is buried and the lovely Guildhall where Prince Charles married Camilla.
After enjoying a riverside lunch we can stroll across to the village of Eton with its famous College where Princes William & Harry were educated.
 Oxford
Explore this ancient University City and hear the stories of the famous people who have studied here. I will show you around some of its famous colleges with their dining halls, chapels and quiet courtyards, while telling you about student life today.
Admire the view of the "dreaming spires" and see where Harry Potter and Inspector Morse were filmed. We might even have a drink in the pub where Tolkein read his Lord of the Rings!
 Countryside tours
I can arrange for a luxury vehicle to take us into England’s “green and pleasant land” exploring places such as Cotswold villages, Stonehenge, Salisbury, historic castles, stately homes or gardens. I know some great places for a traditional
cream tea!
