An award-winning, professional and friendly North East England Blue Badge guide working with the group market, cruise shore excursions and conference partner tours and I would be very happy to discuss your requirements.

For visiting coach groups, I offer guiding anywhere in the region from Lindisfarne in the north to Middlesbrough in the south including such destinations of distinction as Durham City, Hadrian's Wall, NewcastleGateshead and Northumberland. Guiding services also available for Catherine Cookson and Captain Cook Country.

Prefer to explore on foot? I deliver guided walking tours of Durham City where I am also an accredited Durham Cathedral guide and I offer walks of NewcastleGateshead. Walking tours of other local towns, cities and countryside are available on request.

Illustrated talks on the heritage and culture of the North of England available to groups.

I also offer an itinerary planning service to tour operators and group organisers so that you can relax knowing that the timings and routes will meet your requirements and the interests of your clients.

All year round service.
