The Guild of Registered Tourist Guides, Blue Badge Guides

All Guild members hold the coveted Blue Badge, the British national standard guiding qualification and internationally recognised bench mark of excellence. Blue Badge Guides are selected, trained and examined by the official British tourist boards. The training is detailed and comprehensive, the examinations rigorous and registration an achievement, and in London the course lasts for eighteen months. 

Originating in London, this has been awarded by regional Tourist Boards since 1969, so that every guide will have the same background of national core knowledge combined with in-depth local knowledge.
  
As well as acquiring knowledge, Blue Badge Guides are trained in the selection and presentation of material. This has been so successful that English trainers have trained guides all over the world, and the Blue Badge is recognised internationally.

Blue Badge Guides:
  • have a wide range of languages (40!), specialities and interests, and can guide on foot, in cars, on coaches, on trains and on boats;
  • have a wealth of experience which is respected by discriminating tour operators and travel agents throughout the world;
  • take pride in constantly updating their knowledge to enable their visitors to enjoy Britain's immense, unique and varied heritage;
  • are practical, punctual, reliable and thrive on the unexpected, welcoming individuals or groups, here on business or for pleasure.
In November 1999 Blue Badge Guides received an award from Lord Montague of Beaulieu, President of the Tourism Society, presented at the Society's Annual Dinner. The award recognises the professional service provided by Blue Badge guides in their role as unofficial ambassadors for Great Britain.
