7 July – share your pictures with us
Last year we asked Guides to share photos of the tour they were giving on 1 July using the hashtag #britainsbestguides. We had an amazing response and you can see from our gallery of pictures that we were giving tours literally all over the country showing visitors from all over the world the best of the UK.
This Saturday – 7 July – we are doing it again. If you are a guide or on a guided tour with a Blue Badge Guide please share your pictures from across the UK on facebook and twitter using the hashtag #britainsbestguides We want to see your walking tours, coach tours, car, boat or bike tours.
Our Blue Badge Guides work all around the UK – touring the biggest cities and the most famous landmarks, as well as hidden spaces and private places. They love showing what a fascinating and vibrant place contemporary Britain is and they bring the sites to life by telling the stories that are not in the guide books or audio tours.
Just take a look at what we they were up to this time last year. And don’t forget to share your stories on Saturday!
We looking forward to seeing where you are.
