Kathryn Alexander Tour Guide

Kathryn Alexander Tour Guide Weekly heritage walks of Totnes, April to October. On demand tours and walks of Totnes, Dartmouth, Plymouth, Torquay, Paignton, year-round.

Dartmoor sightseeing/easy walks. Also available for work in Cornwall. Event hosting/hospitality services too. I have been tour guiding since 2003, starting my career in Plymouth, my home town. I was living between Australia and UK at the time and undertook my formal guide training in Sydney, but finally moved back to Devon permanently in 2005, settling in Totnes. I worked for English Heritage for

four years and also set up my weekly walking tours of Totnes (I also took on a pub, which my husband and I still own). Throughout all, I make guiding, history and heritage my passion and priority; I want everyone to love Devon and Cornwall as much as I do and aim to bring a local perspective to the visitor, whilst helping locals see their home through fresh eyes.

My Story

I have been tour guiding since 2003, starting for Guide Friday, working on Plymouth city bus tours. I was living between Australia and UK at the time and undertook my formal guide training in Sydney, but finally moved back to Devon permanently in 2005, settling in Totnes. I worked for English Heritage at Totnes Castle (and sometimes Dartmouth and Berry Pomeroy castles) for four years before taking over a pub in Totnes which my husband and I still own. Throughout all, I have made guiding my passion and priority; I want everyone to love Devon and Cornwall as much as I do and aim to bring a local perspective to the visitor, and help locals see their home through fresh eyes.
