Having grown up in Eton, I have a
long-standing and detailed knowledge of the area. After gaining an
Honours Degree in History and a Diploma in Education, I taught at a
local girls’ grammar school before qualifying as a Blue Badge Guide
in 1988. In 2001 I gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s
Certificate.
Since 1990, in my role as Site Liaison
Representative for the Guild of Registered Tourist Guides, I have
developed close links with those who live and work at the Castle
where I am responsible for guide training. In addition to guided
tours I give talks and lectures with Powerpoint on a wide range of
subjects, including the following: Windsor - A Castle Restored, Eton
College and Town, The Queen – Her Life, Role and Work. |

Imme
I have been a Blue Badge Guide for over 20 years and
am fluent in German as well as, of course, English. I
specialise in tours of Windsor Castle and walking tours of the towns
of Windsor and Eton. I am resident in
Windsor and have lived there for nearly 30 years.
An indication of
my knowledge of Windsor is the fact that I was approached to appear
on German television during the Queen's 80th birthday celebrations.
I was interviewed a number of times during a mainstream live
broadcast from Windsor. |

Jacqui |
I have had a Blue Badge since 1984. I live locally and am available
at short notice. History is a great interest of mine and Windsor
Castle and Queen Victoria are
favourites. Over the years
I have built a very close ‘personal relationship’ with Windsor
Castle and I am a Voluntary Steward in St George’s Chapel.
Apart from walking tours in Windsor, Eton and the Castle I have a
lot of experience in guiding on coaches in the local area. This
includes Eton, Runnymede, The RAF Memorial and the Thames. I also
have experience of guiding on boats on the Thames and trained the
guides who work on the open-topped buses which tour around Windsor
and the local area. |

I am enthusiastic in sharing my knowledge of Britain and Windsor with
people of all ages.
As a United Kingdom
and Ireland tour manager, I regularly show American adults and
students the highlights of many towns and cities including, amongst
others, Canterbury, Central London, Oxford, Salisbury and
Stonehenge, Windsor and Winchester. My Blue Badge
qualification covers the whole of Southern England with a special
endorsement for Windsor, Windsor Castle, St George's Chapel and
Eton.
As a qualified architect
and town planner, I am particularly knowledgeable about the design
of old and new buildings and the character and style of towns and
cities, on which I am frequently asked to give talks to interest
groups as well as on travel and tourism and related subjects.
I am also an
experienced country walks leader in Surrey, the Thames Valley and
the Chiltern Hills. |
