With a Cambridge graduate and master storyteller as your guide.


Literary & historical expertise
Medieval colleges, hidden courtyards, the gorgeous river Cam — each with secrets only a local scholar can reveal.
Let me take you on a truly exceptional journey. On foot, or on a comfortable, slow-moving boat.
Just one hour from London by train, Cambridge has everything to charm you.
It's a gorgeous little city of quaint alleys, second-hand bookshops and magnificent architecture. It's one of the world's most renowned centres of learning, an education and research powerhouse that has shaken and shaped the world as we know it, again and again, over nearly a thousand years. It's also one of the UK's major economic hubs, with the country's biggest concentration of high-tech and bio-tech businesses.
Set on both banks of the gorgeous river Cam, Cambridge is easily walkable, and of course you have a plethora of boating options: from punting tours down the historic river with its magnificent palaces of learning, or up-river through glorious countryside, to trying your hand at rowing on the lower river.
Cambridge has catering and accommodation options to match every budget. Come and visit! The marvellous architecture, the traditions and amazing stories, will make you dream.

City of 100 villages — classic landmarks, gorgeous parks, shopping, pageantry and pubs...
London is the most fascinating city in the world. It simply has the best of everything: shopping, transport, things to do, things to see. It even has natural sandy beaches, unlike Paris!
Let me walk you through it, bit by bit. Or choose something you really want to see, to experience. I lived here for more than 30 years, in 14 different places. Never mind where you come from, once a Londoner, forever a Londoner. When you're there, you yearn for other places, but wherever you go, you always want to come back.
London is at the forefront of every trend, technology and fad, and it is also the most old-fashioned and dowdy place imaginable…ever determined not to change, yet always being dragged kicking and screaming to the cutting edge of what's 'in'. It is a city of immense contrasts: breathtaking beauty; mind-numbing ugliness. Immense wealth; deepest destitution. The rudest of people; the most polite people in the world.
Above all, it is a city whose fame and aura has illuminated every corner of the world. A city which set the scene for countless events that resonated worldwide, over hundreds of years. So many movies, books, stories, are set here, many people who have never been here before will find it strangely familiar.
Capital of the British Empire, showcase of pageantry and palaces, playground for the rich, city of superlatives, architectural wonderland with countless legendary landmarks, inhabited by people from over two hundred countries, who speak a thousand languages…
Let's take a stroll through some of the best that London has to offer, and see it at our own pace, in comfort and relaxation. With or without crowds, whatever strikes your fancy. Winter, spring, fall and summer - it's charming all year round!

I can also plan your itinerary and handle paperwork / formalities if need be.

We'll glide up-river into a wonderful wilderness of forests alive with the calls of birds, glorious meadows, on a delightful journey to Grantchester, with its Orchard tea house and great pub lunches...or have a picnic on the boat

Group tours in London or Cambridge: for children (school groups, summer or language schools…at least one responsible adult required) or adults (office dos, junkets…).
