Tourleaders

A lover of all things Latin American, Rosie is a keen dancer and brings years of tour leading and office experience to the role.

Rosie can always be found where the Latin beat is playing – music and dance are among her passions, along with skiing – although the hot tropical countries such as Brazil and Cuba are closest to her heart. She started with us as a tour leader and charmed everybody with her vivacity. We then benefited for several years from her experience and inspiration as one of the London office team. But those itchy feet got the better of her and now he’s back in Latin America tour leading for us again.
