More Information
Melanie has considerable experience as a guide, having worked both locally and abroad on coach or walking tours but for her Jersey is special. In just 9x5 miles, the island has an incredible amount of interest to offer and much of it is unique.
As well as being available to lead either bespoke or general island tours, Melanie offers a variety of easy walks in St. Helier and on the south and east coasts. Jersey's position between England and France has meant that its population has faced numerous challenges over the centuries.
On these leisurely walks, learn the history of just how islanders have adapted and reveal how areas have changed with interesting stories told along the way. French speakers are welcome.
