My name is Cosetta Zanobetti and I have worked in the tourism industry for over twenty years. Born and brought up in Italy, I studied History of Art at Birkbeck College, London University. I taught English as a foreign language for a few years, and I got a PGCE to teach Modern Foreign Languages.

In 1987 I qualified as a Blue Badge Tourist Guide, and I have been working in London as a freelance guide ever since.  The Blue Badge is the highest guiding qualification in the UK, and it allows me to take visitors where unqualified guides cannot go, including Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, St Pauls Cathedral, and Windsor Castle.

I am a member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding, the Association of Professional Tourist Guides, the Guild of Registered Tourist Guides, and I am fully insured.

I specialise in Art History, and I am passionate about gardens.

I love my job, as it enables me to share my enthusiasm for this great country with others.

I offer personalized tours, walking tours, and children’s tours.
