about us
Our Mission
At Guidelink, our aim is to provide Guides and Tours for every occasion. We want visitors to the UK to experience the very best of The British Isles and have a great time during their stay.
We make it straight-forward and easy for you. Our mission is to save you time. We connect you with our local, qualified Blue & Green Badge Guides and attend to the entire booking, communication & payment process.
Extraordinary Guides,
Extraordinary Tours
At Guidelink, we will only book your tour with a Blue or Green Badge Tourist Guide.
Why? Because these Guides are the best of the best!
The Blue Badge is the highest Tourist Guiding Qualification in the UK. All our Guides must have completed and passed the intensive 2 year training and they carry full Public Liability Insurance. Due to their extensive knowledge, they can tailor-make your tour to suit the occasion. They do not operate fixed itineraries or fixed commentaries, but instead create a unique travel experience for your group
We are able to offer tours in most languages as many of our Tourist Guides speak additional languages. To guide in a foreign language, the Guide must have passed additional examinations to prove professional proficiency, giving you peace of mind and the assurance that your group will enjoy and understand their visit.
