| 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. |
