on the subject of welcoming visitors to London, I was invited to the awards ceremony for the newly qualified Blue Badge Tourist Guides last night. If we were all to follow their example, with their enthusiasm and knowledge, we would be taking the right steps in welcoming visitors

About Us


All the tours offered on this site are led by professional Blue Badge Tourist Guides, reassuring you that you are in the company of someone who knows what they are doing. Not only will they know the facts, but they will show you the best places to see the sites - whether by car, tube, coach or on foot. Our guides are amusing, entertaining and know where to find answers to all your questions.

Blue Badge Tourist Guides have been fully trained and have passed stringent examinations. They are insured for their work and the profession is regulated by the Institute of Tourist Guiding.

BBG LogoIn addition, all guides leading 2012 tours have undertaken a specialist course covering all aspects of the Olympics & Paralympics from the Ancient Games to London 2012.

Many Blue Badge Tourist Guides are fully insured official driver guides. They are experienced in guiding couples, families or corporate clients in chauffeur-driven style.

We also speak your language - more than 26 languages, from French and Spanish, to Mandarin, Punjabi and Ukrainian. Use a Blue Badge Tourist Guide linguist to make your clients feel welcome in their own language.
