Kaare Nielsen MITG - London Blue Badge Guide - Profile
 
NEWS 2012: I gained The Institute of Tourist Guiding's "Windsor and Eton Endorsement", which means that I am specially qualified for guiding tours to Windsor Castle, Windsor Great Park, Windsor town and Eton College. A visit to HM Queen Elizabeth 2's favourite residence, Windsor Castle, is extra relevant in 2012, when Britain celebrates her Diamond Jubilee.
NEWS 2011: I was part of a panel of experts commenting on Prince William and Catherine Middleton's royal wedding on 29 April for national Danish television (TV2) in a temporary studio opposite Buckingham Palace. My area of expertise was the wedding venue, Westminster Abbey, as well as the open carriage processional route.
NEWS 2010: I gained The Institute of Tourist Guiding's "2012 Venues Endorsement", which means that I am qualified to do guided walks and tours by public transport or coach to the 2012 venues and The Olympic Park, which is the biggest and most fascinating building site in Europe.
I graduated as a London Blue Badge Guide in May 2009. Before that I had 17 years experience as a Tour Leader introducing travel groups to major cities in Great Britain, Europe and the USA. I love to make London's many amazing sights come alive for visitors as well as for fellow Londoners.
I am a member of The Institute of Tourist Guiding (MITG), The Guild of Registered Tourist Guides, The Association of Professional Tourist Guides (APTG) and carry full public liability insurance.
I gained a first Masters Degree in Comparative Literature, which gives me a special interest in tours with literary themes like Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare. My other favourite subjects are history, art, modern architecture, regeneration, Docklands and London 2012 venues.
I live with my family in South West London close to Richmond, Kew Botanical Gardens and the River Thames.
