The 10,000 Faces
I usually take a photo of the guests I’m with so I can send them a post-tour memento.
When I looked back at my enormous album of images I did some calculations and realised I would have welcomed around 10,000 visitors to London since starting to guide in 2019, yet each tour has developed great connections as everyone embarks on a special journey as I share my passion for London.
I’ve got another two years of images still to curate. Here’s some of the faces of the 10K guests …! A higher quality photo from your tour can be emailed if you remember the date of your tour. Total privacy is of course assured and respected when requested.
Happy scrolling through my memory bubbles!
