As the 2024-25 course nears its conclusion, we are humbled by feedback received from members of this year’s cohort highlighting the impact that the London Heritage Training Tour Guiding course has had on their lives.
Students’ comments include the following:
“Over the course of eight months I found myself transformed from a shy, somewhat gauche public speaker with hand gestures worthy of a Dutch windmill to a poised speaker able to speak to and not talk at an audience.”
Tim Jacobs
“Caroline’s guiding course has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I learned so much! The skills and knowledge I have come away with are beyond value.”
Voytek Stanley
“Putting my wife and children to one side, this is the best thing I have done in decades.”
Trevor Mayhew
“You don’t realise until you are immersed in the programme that what she is doing is building your structured knowledge of the history of Britain through practical exercises. Further lessons then build on how to convey that knowledge as a confident street-based guide.”
Nicholas Strachan
“I would rate Caroline as one of the finest tutors that I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Her passion for the subject matter, her personable interaction and genuine affection for her students, and her calm and confident style all contributed to a truly professional experience.”
Marc Gardiner
“We started the course as normal humans and ended it as professional guides… What did I get? An extensive knowledge about London, a useful set of practical guiding skills… and of course an absolute confidence in what I do. No more imposter syndrome.”
