LONDON TOURIST GUIDE

Vania Isabel Gay

London Tourist Guide

Hello, I am Vania, a fully qualified London Blue Badge Tourist Guide, City of London, City of Westminster, St Paul's Cathedral, Windsor and Eton Accredited Guide and Hampton Court Palace Guide.

I moved from Brazil to London in 1989 and having fallen in love with the city, I decided to change profession to become a guide. I greatly enjoy taking around tourists from all over the globe in both English and Portuguese.

From well known attractions such as Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace to the lesser known hidden alleyways, I will make sure you make the most of your visit and experience London as a local resident.

I offer unique guided tours in English and Portuguese throughout the heart of this great city. For more information please take a look at ‘my tours’ section or email me to discuss a bespoke package to vaniabr@brasilianguidelondon.com

TESTIMONIALS

"Me and my 9 and 11 year old boys spent three amazing days with Vânia in London! We were delighted with the attention to detail, including pre-meeting preparation, caring and patience with the boys, and her knowledge of historical facts enriched our London experience beautifully! The three of us already want to organize our next trip to London with her!" Carolina Lima, Geneve, 2022.

"We had a wonderful tour with Vania, who showed us many sites around London and shared her knowledge of history and culture. In addition to providing excellent guidance, Vania was a gracious host who welcomed us to London after our long trip from the US. We enjoyed getting to know her and recommend her to anyone traveling to London!"

Kirstin Hunter, Atlanta, 2022.

"Having Vânia as a guide in London has extremely enriched our trip. We had plenty of pleasant surprises, Vania provided us lots of historical information, numerous curiosities and showed special places that we would not have known on our own. Her work is really differentiated and her tips are very valuable. I, my husband, our three boys and niece, teenagers we think that our trip would not be the same without Vânia." Jane Leal, Belo Horizonte, 2020
