About me
Hi, my name is David. For more than 40 years I worked on the City’s trading floors, in the hectic world of commodity broking. I’m now an accredited City of London Green Badge Guide and a member of the Institute of Tour Guiding, which allows me to share remarkable stories about the City. My walks are great for tourists and locals alike and I am insured for public liability.
Private bespoke walks are available for couples or families, so please use my contact form to share your requirements.
For corporate clients, whether you want colleagues to discover the history of the area they work in, or need a unique and relevant way to entertain visiting business contacts, a bespoke walk is an amazing experience. Please get in touch to share your requirements.
