A professional tour guide since 2017, I work for both tour companies and for private tours of my own. I take people through London neighborhoods as well as through some of the most famous museums in the city. Being a guide is the best job ever as I get to meet so many people from all parts of the world, and I’ve taken thousands of visitors on journeys across London.
My approach to explaining the city is either by foot or by bicycle, and customers can choose how they want to get around. Although, as fun as the idea of cycling through a museum is, I don’t think the guards would let us. So at least for museums let’s just stick to walking.
I am not from from the UK. I am an Italian-American who has lived in Italy, the US, various countries in the Middle East, and I settled in London many years ago. The city draws you in instantly, the layers of history are laid bare everywhere you go, many more are hidden and tucked away, and it’s been great fun to discover them slowly over time and show them to guests.
