Coming to London in May? Let’s talk about the weather and how to pack! Remember, know your body and the fabric/materials that work best with you. I adore this little jacket but it just is not breathable… might be time to donate it. Turns out that it did not rain as predicted, but the umbrella acted as the perfect parasol. ☂️ #amberisthebesttourguide
Today I’m feeling a bit tired and have not even had a shower yet! But tomorrow I have a Downton Abbey tour, so I’ll be stylish and gorgeous. A total transformation, like this video I made back during the pandemic. 😷
The Coldstream Guards 💂🏽 doing their thing. We have two more weeks of grey coats…. Then our clocks ⏰ change and they will go back to red tunics! ♥️
The Changing of the Guard happens Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Join me….. I’ll tell you all about it!

51 students from Brazil 🇧🇷 and Chile 🇨🇱 who are used to much warmer climate… braved the freezing 🥶 cold weather and enjoyed Day 1 of Paris! We did Eiffel Tower in the day, a walk to Arc D’Triomphe, shopping and food in Champs-Élysées, and then back to Eiffel Tower for 8pm SPARKLES!!! ✨ Now… sleep. We have a big day tomorrow!
Some days I get so excited about the Guards, I end up doing videos like this!!! Can’t win them all! #amberisthebesttourguide
Trafalgar Square is full! With the annual Norwegian Christmas tree 🎄 , the Menorah 🕎, and the food market 🍗. Weather here has been mild, not freezing. #amberisthebesttourguide
I felt like throwing away the bun was wasteful, so this year I came prepared! All those chopsticks are going to be put to good use! #amberisthebesttourguide
From my house to yours…. happy Thanksgiving
I’ve reached 500! That’s 500 learners who have taken classes with me on Outschool and I’m so proud! It’s fun to create interesting and engaging classes for young minds. By introducing them to history in a fun way, they will avoid the inevitable “history is boring” mantra that so many grew up with. My classes are lively, interactive and aim to help kids see that there is SO much to learn! It’s a passion! #amberisthebesttourguide https://linktr.ee/americanldn
Last night at the theatre…
It’s cold at Highclere Castle! Today there was a special event and I brought a group of 8 to see it. With limited tickets, the place is empty. Felt like a time for a selfie in front of the castle. The photos didn’t quite capture reality: windy, cold, overcast. So…. Here’s a video! #amberisthebesttourguide
Had a full day yesterday and thought I’d bring you with me! Everyday is different when you are self-employed and make your own schedule. I love variety, so I mix it up when I can. After my recent two month Downton season, it’s kinda fun to have a change of pace like this. #amberisthebesttourguide
All good things must come to an end….. Highclere Castle closes for summer, so my Downton season ends. I’ll have the occasional Downton tour with Blenheim Palace. Highclere reopens in April 2024. Meanwhile, there’s always my London Downton walking tour! #amberisthebesttourguide
Totally having a fan girl moment as I ran into Frank The Solider on my #changingoftheguard tour yesterday. I watch him on Tiktok and now I have met him! Had a chat with his dad, so lovely how he supports and makes it possible for Frank to visit the guards. Dad win!

Success is getting 30 Brazilian students through Paris, then the Eurostar passport and security. Now just keeping them out of the way of others until we board. (One British lady was so offended that we arrived. Someone should tell her that she isn’t the only passenger today!)
Such a pleasure to be with this amazing group of students from Kazakstan. For their Eiffel Tower photos they donned their traditional dress. I love moments like this! #amberisthebesttourguide
Here is the official run of events for the coronation. Are you going to watch? What is on your menu?
A bit of fun! The ladies of Bampton (the village of Downton Abbey) have made a postbox knitted cover with all the royals! Are you ready for Coronation? #amberisthebesttourguide
