What is the Institute of Tourist Guiding?
The Institute of Tourist Guiding is the official professional body responsible for setting and maintaining standards for tourist guiding in England.
Established in 2002, the Institute oversees the training, examination, and accreditation of qualified guides, including Green Badge and Blue Badge Guides. These qualifications ensure that guides have in-depth knowledge, strong communication skills, and a commitment to delivering high-quality, accurate tours.
As a Green Badge Oxford Guide, I’m proud to be accredited by the Institute — guaranteeing that every Walking Tour of Oxford offers a professional and authentic experience led by a fully qualified local expert.
