How did you get involved in travel?

"I have always loved history and anthropology, telling the stories of cultures and places has always come easy for me. I would memorise myths from a young age and re-tell them to my friends and family. When I finished studying at university I knew I wanted to do something that told the story of the place I lived. Iles Tours grew out of that, from memorising the history and finding a way of turning facts and statistics into a narrative to providing my first tour. I have loved every minute of it and I have never looked back."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"There is not one tour that I will never forget, each tour and group of travellers who come on a tour adds to my enjoyment of my work and becomes a part of the Iles Tours story. "
