London Private Tour Guide
My City-London is a very dynamic world capital where history and modernity intermingle seamlessly. Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament and Royal Palaces all offer a unique insight into English history and the monarchy. You can experience ancient cultures at the British Museum including Egypt, Assyria and the Elgin Marbles from Greece. There are also quiet gems to discover like the hidden alleyways of London’s oldest part - the City -, the Inns of Court including Temple Church [of Da Vinci code fame], Covent Garden, the scandals of Mayfair and St James’s former aristocratic homes. Windsor Castle, Greenwich and Hampton Court Palace are all within easy reach or why not visit the university town of Oxford where PM Tony Blair studied. About Me- I initially trained to be an actress, have a first class degree (University of London) and am a professionally qualified London Blue Badge guide.

My Past Guest's Comments"My husband and I are from San Diego, California and, during a brief stop in London in May, 2006, participated in a group tour of the British Museum during which Ingrid was our guide. We were so impressed with her abilities that we took a second tour from her the same day. When we determined to return to London with our extended families in November, 2006, we booked Ingrid privately for two full days. Our group numbered 10 and ranged in age from 7 to 80. Ingrid was thoroughly engaging and found ways to involve each member of the group. We look forward to hiring her again the next time we visit and recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation to anyone in need of a guide." Claudia P, April, 2007 My family and I just returned from London. We hired Ingrid Wallenborg for a whole day tour of London and then another ½ day tour of the British Museum. Ingrid was absolutely delightful. She was able to make the history come to life with her incredible knowledge and story telling skills. We had 3 generations in our group and Ingrid was able to include information that interested everyone. We especially enjoyed her sense of humor and friendly personality. She was able to get us into several areas closed to the general public because of her connections. We would not tour London with anyone else!
