#BritainsBestGuides - the Album | British Guild of Tourist Guides

On July 1st we asked guides across the country to post photographs of their day on Twitter and on Facebook, to show the world the extraordinary range of tours, trips, places and sights that Blue and Green Badge Tourist Guides are involved with.

Some of those pictures are in the album below – there are wildlife tours in the Farne Islands and in Jersey, country walks in Devon and Cumbria, tours inside Manchester Town Hall, the FitzWilliam Museum in Cambridge and the Tower of London.

You might have been with one of our guides in Bath, or Bristol, Tamworth, London, Newcastle, York, Edinburgh or one of several dozen UK towns and cities. Your day could have involved a trip to Windsor Castle, or Stonehenge, Hampton Court Palace, the ruins of a Yorkshire abbey, Blenheim Palace, an Oxford college, or one of several pubs. And it might have been by foot, coach, car, bicycle or even by boat.

Wherever you’re hoping to go across the UK, a registered Tourist Guide will make your visit more informative, entertaining and enjoyable. Visit our tours page to see some of the great places our guides can help you with, or choose a guide from our list of registered professionals.
