Ben Lehmann

Chief Executive Officer

"I’m at my best when the weather’s cool, the sea’s in sight, and I’m leading a group through Cornwall’s winding paths."

Ben Lehmann

Chief Executive Officer

As the managing director and owner, 
Ben leads with both passion and experience, often stepping back into the role of tour guide himself—especially for his favourite tour in Cornwall, where the cool climate is just how he likes it. When he’s not guiding, Ben is busy running our training courses or representing us at international trade fairs and events. His hands-on approach keeps him connected to every aspect of the business.

Vivien Uhlig

She knows the ins and outs of almost every tour we offer and thrives on solving the challenges that each brings. A passionate Londoner at heart, Vivien’s love for the city knows no bounds—from Harry Potter to the Royals, the Thames, and everything in between. If it’s in the UK, Vivien’s already in love with it.

Janine Schwarz

Janine is a key player in recruiting new talent for our tours, but when high season hits, you’ll find her supporting tour management with equal energy. A globe-trotter at heart, Janine is always on the move—from Berlin to Bali, you never quite know where she’ll be picking up the phone. Her travel stories are as varied as her work, and you can often hear the gentle waves of the sea in the background when you call.
