Alex Lacey, Blue Badge Tourist Guide

Alex Lacey is an award winning Blue Badge Tourist Guide. The Blue Badge is the highest guiding qualification awarded in the UK, and is only given after 2 years rigorous training and examinations.

Having lived in London for nearly 20 years, guiding my guests around my city is my perfect career. I offer both private and public walking tours, tours of London's major monuments and museums, and can tailor your tour to suit your interests. I love working with kids and families, and can keep your kids entertained. I guide in several languages - English, French and Dutch.

My tours are fun and full of humour, fascinating facts and alternative looks at London's history and culture, and I love showing you bits of London you may not have noticed before. Here are just some of my reviews from my 5* rated TripAdvisor review page.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Oh my! Can we bottle this tour guide?! I took a tour of an area I’ve visited regularly for the last decade. When I return, everything will feel new & undiscovered again because Alex really opened my eyes to what was around me. Her knowledge brings the surroundings alive and her passion leaves you energised & hopeful for the future of culture in this country - even during a pandemic! A brilliant person you want with you everywhere. I hope I get to do more tours with her"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I went on the Slavery and the City walking tour in London with a few friends - it was fascinating and Alex is a brilliant guide. I learned a huge amount about the history of the city and how the legacy of slavery is found even today in so many British institutions. Alex is extremely knowledgeable and engaging, and I'll definitely be back for more tours in future!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I have had Alex Lacey as a guide twice. On both occasions she went above and beyond all expectations. She is not only extremely knowledgable but inspiring, positive and inspiring. She made my students learn without even realizing it! They loved her. I will definitely be using Alex on my next trip!"
