Blue Badge and Green Badge guides are the official, professional tourist guides of the United Kingdom – recognised by the local tourist bodies and Visit Britain.
They are qualified to guide by the Institute of Tourist Guiding. The Institute of Tourist Guiding is recognised by Government, it owns the Blue Badge and the Green Badge and maintains standards by accrediting courses and examining candidates.
Blue Badge (Level 4) and Green Badge (Level 3) guides are trained to the same standard, the difference being the area of qualification – the Blue Badge covers all the region, the Green Badge covers Liverpool only.
All our guides are fully insured by the British Guild of Tourist Guides.
The British Guild of Tourist Guides (formerly the Guild of Registered Tourist Guides) is the national organisation which provides membership services including insurance, promotion and guidance on fees.
