Biography: With over thirty-five years experience as a Tour Guide I love London and Britain and want to share my enthusiasm with you, in English, Italian or Romanian!I like hidden corners and unusual venues 'far from the madding crowd'and am particularly interested in prehistory and British myths and legends. If you are on your own in London,I can help you make the most of your visit with public transport (remember the dreaded carbon footprint!)and save time, money and hassle into the bargain.
