Discover Jane Austen’s London with a historic walking tour

Have you fallen in love with Jane Austen novels like "Pride and Prejudice", "Emma", and "Persuasion"? So have I. On this walking tour, I’ll use Jane’s letters and novels to bring the author’s London to life, uncovering the stories behind every stop. • We’ll start at the site of the hotel where Jane stayed with her family in the late 18th century. • We’ll journey past the gardens, theatres and assembly rooms that Jane visited. Some were prime spots on the “marriage market.” • On our walk through Mayfair, St. James’s and Covent Garden, we’ll learn about her publishing journey from start to finish, including taking in the home of the Prince Regent, with whom Jane had an intriguing relationship. You’ll come away with a richer understanding of Regency society, its allure, and its vices—all seen through Jane’s eyes. Plus, you'll take away a mini guide to Jane's London to remember her experiences by. The next time you read her novels, you’ll be able to picture some of the places she writes about!

Karl Marx’s London: guided walking tour with a historian

Take a tour through the streets of Soho, the bustling central London district which in the 1850s was home to thousands of radical political exiles - including the young German philosopher Karl Marx. Guided by Dr Thomas Jones, an expert and scholar in refugee history, you’ll see the sites that shaped the lives of Marx and his growing family as they struggled to establish themselves in an unfamiliar country where they would spend the rest of their lives. We’ll assemble in Leicester Square, where in 1849 the Marxes joined hundreds of refugees escaping the collapse of Europe’s 1848 revolutions and found shelter at the nearby German Hotel. We’ll go on to visit the Marx residences at Dean Street, where they contended with poverty and disease as they navigated the perils of life in mid-Victorian London. We’ll see the headquarters the Communist League and the International Working Men’s Association, radical societies that Marx joined and for which he produced some of his most famous writing, including the Communist Manifesto. Along Soho’s winding streets, we’ll see the pubs and café’s where Marx’s fellow exiles gathered and made their plans to reignite revolution in Europe. As we stroll, Dr Jones will explain the details Marx’s life in exile, the impact of his time in exile on his ideas, and why London – and Britain- was the asylum of choice for refugees trying to change the world.

British Museum Tour - History, Art and Conflict

The British Museum is a fascinating but also challenging place to visit.. the sheer number of artefacts and stories to discover can be quite daunting. This tour will guide curious visitors along a fun and often surprising narrative to discover the beauty of ancient civilisations and to come up close to staggering works of art. There are hidden mythologies, art, mysticism, and history galore. There are also current debates in regards to some artefacts on display. Some of the stories involve violent colonial exchanges, some involve looting, others involve questionable practices of ownership. I try to explain their arrival at the museum and update on their complicated status. Knowing about these stories generates constructive discussion of the issues involved, and I try to cover all points of view and invite my guests to share theirs. This is walk to discuss about all this together on a two hour tour. Some of the subjects we’ll cover will be: Ancient Greek temples and gods Deities and warrior kings from Mesopotamia Roman artwork and legacy Weapons from Australia Anglo-Saxon and Viking treasures Mesoamerican rituals Royal treasures from the Kingdom of Benin Statues and temples from India Artefacts from China Statues and mummies from Egypt …and many more fascinating bits of history.

Cambridge University & City Tour

- Knowledgeable Local Student Guide - Queue skip for Kings College - See the most famous sites in Cambridge Be warned! If you are a history professor looking for lengthy monologues about how the plague impacted the power structures of local governance this is NOT the tour for you! You will learn plenty about history, but it will focus on people and the University - not church building tiles! Rivalries between Kings and Queens, eccentric poets and the crazy pranks of creative scientists. Each stop will make you laugh and make you think. Moreover, this tour will not shy away from critique! Besides the rich history and peculiar traditions I will introduce you to the harrowing tale of Rosalind Franklin and how her work on the molecular structure of the DNA was 'hijacked' by other Cambridge academics. We will cover the most dramatic architecture, from The Backs to the peculiar process of graduating in the grand Senate House. Other Colleges include Trinity College (the wealthiest, and home to Prince Charles), St John’s College (and it’s huge wine collection) and other iconic Cambridge Colleges - along with a true student insight on what happens inside! Not to be forgotten, *skipping the ticket office* the tour will go straight into King’s College - called so, because of the various King’s who left their stamp on arguably the most famous building at the University.

Troubles Tour - With a Local

At Belfast City Hall you will be provided with an audio headset and receiver so you don’t miss a word. You’ll visit the City Hall before walking to the Peace Walls, approximately 90 minutes. You’ll receive a full, detailed and objective commentary to provide you with the historical and political background to ‘the Troubles’ but the tour is not in chronological order, it relates to places it passes. Please note that a good to fluent command of English is required. Stopping at the International Wall, you’ll get a chance to view the political murals before you visit the Walls. There is ample time for photographs. You’ll return to Belfast City Centre, where you visit the Cathedral Quarter. You’ll meander in and out of historic entries, see the sights and see what’s hidden in plain sight. You’ll learn about our radical history, and the culture and art that makes Belfast such a vibrant and exciting city. You'll take in the City Centre & Albert Clock before the tour finishes in a historic church. You walk inside, you walk back to the late 1700s to a time of revolution and radicalism. Belfast is a city of contrasts, and the tour is designed to reflect that. Expect to be entertained, engaged and informed. The pace of this tour is moderate. You will walk approximately 3.5 miles in 2.5 to 3 hours. We sometimes have 4 seasons in one day, so dress appropriately.

Pilgrims' Path to Holy Island across the tidal sands

We will follow in the footsteps of St Cuthbert and countless pilgrims who have crossed the sands at low tide to Holy Island (Lindisfarne). The story begins with the Romans and moves to the mid 7th century when the King of Northumbria converted to Christianity and instructed a monk (Aidan) to establish a monastery on the island. On reaching the island the timeline moves to the building of Lindisfarne Priory in the 12th century. There is a limited window of time to cross the tidal estuary and care must be taken to avoid both the incoming tide and boggy areas on the route. This means start times for walks will vary - please check at time of booking. I will guide you safely and there will be plenty of opportunity to see seabirds and seals as we cross. This is an atmospheric experience for many people and once on the island there will be time to explore and maybe have an ice cream before we return by vehicle to our start point. The walk is just under four miles in total. The return trip is made in a car (there is no child car seat available).

National Gallery - a Walk through Art History

The National Gallery is an amazing museum with over 700 years of art history within its many rooms. It is London's answer to the Louvre and the Uffizi, and it can be equally as exhilarating and exhausting. For this tour I offer a qualified guide to gently walk you through the paintings while following a coherent storyline. So much is happening behind the paint and brushtrokes of the masters: wars, plagues, revolutions, religious upheavals, and much more. Many artists were expressing the strangeness of the time they were living in, many expressed their own inner turmoils and anxieties. I would like to take you on a guided walk and not ponfiticate on art, but have a walk and a chat about what is happening on the surface and behind these great artworks. We'll also poke fun at the seriousness of art history, and get to see how many works reference one another. We also meet all the big names from the 1200s to the 20th century. The purpose of this tour is to gain a better understanding on the history of art and what to read in a painting, but also to have fun doing it, in a relaxed, informal way. I keep the groups small for that reason.
