Discover the beauty of the Thames & Chilterns with Bobbie, your qualified tourist guide
Let me guide you through the hidden gems and iconic landmarks of this beautiful region from Lechlade to Windsor Castle.

Your expert guide to the region
Hi, I’m Bobbie, a licensed Blue Badge Tourist Guide with over 40 years' experience creating memorable and entertaining tours in the Thames and Chilterns.
Whether on foot, by coach or on the river, I combine fascinating history, local knowledge and plenty of humour to create experiences that are as enjoyable as they are informative. My goal isn't simply to deliver a tour – it's to leave people smiling, talking about their day and wanting to come back for more.
The Blue Badge is the UK's highest guiding qualification and I've had the privilege of sharing my love of the area with visitors from every corner of the world. I speak three languages fluently (English, French and German) and another three conversationally (Spanish, Italian and Dutch) and I'm also able to communicate using British Sign Language, allowing me to connect with an exceptionally wide range of guests.
The relationships I build with clients are something I'm especially proud of. Some have been returning to me for over 25 years, while one group has joined me annually for the past eight years on Midsomer Murders filming-location tours through the Chilterns (and everyone has survived!).
The Blue Badge qualification also brought me to the attention of Francis Frith who commissioned me to write Windsor: A History & Celebration.

Themed trips

The Blue Badge is the UK’s highest qualification in tourist guiding, awarded by the Institute of Tourist Guiding, the officially recognised standard-setting and awarding body for tourist guiding in England, Northern Ireland and Jersey.
