Touring Britain Guiding Services

Touring Britain is a website specially prepared for you, the visitor, to quickly find a Blue Badge or Green Badge Guide or tour escort to maximise your touring experience of Chester, North Wales and the North West of England. Whether you are a lone traveler, a touring couple, a small group or a coach load of excited wanderers, we are able to assist you in providing a suitable tour escort, Blue or Green badge guide to accompany you for some, or all of your journey.


	Whether you are visiting Chester, North Wales or the North West of England for the first time, or, indeed, a frequent traveler, there is nothing worse then getting home and discovering you missed something vitally important off your itinerary. Sometimes, you might have been so close - or even in the same building - and yet walked right past that sacred burial ground, or right under that famous stained-glass window. Well, fear not as we are here to make sure you extract every single visual and audible requirement from your travels - by using one of our escorts, Green or Blue Badges tour guides.

It's tour time, what's going to happen?

This is very much dependant on the extent of the escorting or guiding you have booked. You may well be met at Manchester Airport and escorted to your first nights hotel. Alternately, you may be met after breakfast at your Chester hotel at the agreed time.

Whatever has been agreed, you can rest assured it will be delivered. Your guide will initially discuss the full tour agenda with you and highlight information where appropriate before commencing on what we hope will be a fantastic adventure of knowledge, facts, figures, history, culture and, most importantly, fun!

Your guide will very quickly become your trusted friend - whether it's a 1-hour walking Chester City tour or a 14-day minibus North of England touring holiday, you can be assured you're in safe, qualified trained hands!

We're off, what's going on?

As mentioned above, this is very much dependant on the type and length of guiding tour you've arranged. Basically, however, the underlying rule and expectancy is that you will have lots of fun without having to worry about finding places and information out yourself.

The guide will be suitably trained and be knowledgeable about all aspects of your tour, from geography through history. They will make every effort to transfer this knowledge to you in a carefully delivered way so as to make sure it isn't boring, saturated or non-relevant.

At the end of the day, you will dictate the level of guiding required and our guides will adapt accordingly. Some people prefer an intense history lesson whilst others enjoy a light-hearted overview or snapshot. Whichever you have, you can be sure you'll enjoy it!

Contrary to belief, guiding is a true art form and skill that is learnt. However, not everyone can be a guide. It requires communication skills, personality and, possibly most importantly, a true desire to undertake this role. All our guides have these exact qualities with a genuine customer focus and genuine motivation to satisfy.

The funny thing is, it is a myth that guides are expensive too! Go to our TOURING BRITAIN website now and get yourself a quote - you'll be pleasantly surprised! In lots of cases, using a guide with a minibus or car will relieve all those other hidden expenses like taxi fares, airport transfers, public transport, etc. and you might even find these savings exceed the cost of the guide too! These nothing like a bargain!!

So, how did I benefit using a guide?

Now your asking! First and foremost, you will have gained valuable factual knowledge and seen sights that you would probably have never had a chance to do.

Secondly, all our escorts and guides are trained to maximise your pleasure and experiences so you will have had a great time, lots of laughs and made a new friend too for sure!

The Green and Blue Badge is the recognised award for tour guides who have successfully completed a period of professional training for specified areas accredited by the Institute of Tourist Guiding. All our tour escorts and accredited guides offer a variety of tours on foot, by car, minibus, boat and coach.
