Hello! I'm Jennifer, musician, writer, comedian, sociologist and magician, a bit dreamy, often happy, always hungry for new experiences, new encounters, new adventures… Which is why I love guiding, the perfect intersection of all those things!
Why hire a Qualified Blue Badge Tourist Guide?
"La crème de la crème": Blue Badge Tourists Guides provide top tourism experiences in London. The Blue Badge is the highest Tourist Guiding qualification in the UK, obtained after 2 years of intense training.
Exclusive sites: Blue Badge Tourists Guides are the only external guides permitted to major sites such as St Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London and Windsor Castle, and have specifically been trained to guide in other places such as the British Museum and the National Gallery.
Tailor-made experiences: as a Blue Badge Tourist Guide, I am used to working with each group's specific requests and interests, and can conduct tours on foot, on bicycles, on public transport, in cars or on coaches! So whether you are a family looking for a unique experience in London, or a larger corporate group with specific requirements, I'm your man (well, woman).
Bilingual: I can guide in English or in French, or both!

"I went on Jennifer’s Magic London walking tour and it was - well, Magic! Such an interesting and amusing guide with a fund of wonderful stories which Jennifer told in a fascinating and entertaining way. And if this wasn’t enough - Jennifer included practical magic as part of the walk. Her skill as a magician was amazing and the magic was woven into the tour. We learnt so much about Houdini and Victorian magicians such as Nevil Maskelyne , and even Paul Daniels - visiting the very sites where they performed. I’m still scratching my head trying to think how the magic tricks were carried out!!! This is a wonderful walk for both adults and children. Spellbinding!

Would recommend to all who enjoy watching a professional at work. Would suit older children as well as adults.

"I absolutely adored my magic tour with Jennifer. Not only is she a professional qualified Blue Badge guide, but she's also a whizz at magic! I love history, so it was really fascinating to learn more about St. James's and the story of magic in London and beyond. Who knew people could get so hysterical about top hats?? What made the experience even more unique, however, was that we weren't just learning about magic, but experiencing it as well! Card tricks, rope tricks, illusions and tricks of the eye. Amazing! Jennifer created the perfect mix of history and performance. She was warm, approachable, and very entertaining. Would definitely go on another one of her tours!"

"What an interesting and original tour. Really good information, great part of London, real substance then the fun of a real life magic show. As Jennifer said, we can all do with a little bit of magic. Loved it!"

"In September, 2019, my husband and I took a day tour led by Jennifer to Bath, Stonehenge and Windsor Castle. She made everyone feel cared for and educated about what's going on. I loved how she made instructions very clear so we knew what to do and when. I'm kind of a control freak so that satisfied my need to be on top of things. Lol. When on a bus tour with 40 other people, it's easy to get lost, confused or turned around. I loved her stories and extra knowledge about the area. She was able to answer my husband's questions about our (hotel) area of town and enlightened us about some things that weren't included on the tour. She made sure to spend some time with each couple and gave 'over and above' info that was outside of a regular tour guide. I highly recommend and when we go back, we will definitely look her up and take any other tours she has available."

"I want to submit a review of the Stonehenge, Bath, Windsor Castle based taken on June 28th. Jennifer El Gammal was an outstanding tour guide. She was personable, intelligent, knowledgeable and truly a pleasure to be with for this full day excursion. She was well organized and provided specific instructions about how to get back to the bus after each stop, which resulted in everyone getting back to the bus on time. The bus driver, Bob Smart was a good partner, driving safely and getting us from each site on time. This tour was one of the best I have ever been on because of the excellent information shared by Jennifer throughout the bus ride. She is truly amazing and engaging."

"An enjoyable, intriguing and entertaining tour, Jen. Thank you. Taking us through the surprising feats of magicians and other aspects of make-believe. A history of St James's I knew nothing about. Real magic tricks as well! A great way to spend an afternoon."

"The combination of walking through an enchanting part of London with great links to the world of magic but the tricks are so good."
T. M.
"Great value tour not only informative but also very entertaining. Our guide Jennifer had fascinating stories and she guided us through the origins of magic and early magicians as well as famous magicians of the past. We got to discover some hidden gems in central London and she revealed a fascinating history behind some the more known architectural landmarks. During her captivating storytelling our guide kept performing some of her own magic tricks that linked to and enhanced the stories and I must say that they’ve made the whole experience absolutely perfect.
I strongly recommend this to everyone."
