Blue/Green Badge Guides
We only use Blue or Green Badge Guides on our tours of Britain’s historical heritage sites. The Blue Badge is a symbol of excellence in tourist guiding. Blue Badge Guides are often the ONLY external guides permitted to conduct tours at many attractions, including Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London.
They bring the sites to life, often telling the stories that are not in the guide books or audio tours. With your own knowledgeable and entertaining guide, you can ask questions and find out more about what interests you.
Experienced Drivers
Our drivers are all experienced and are insured for private hire or hire and reward and they hold the correct licences required by their local public and other authorities. This includes Blue Badge Guide drivers and their vehicles. Please note: English law states that a seat belt must be worn at all times in a moving vehicle.
Private tours
All our private tours are for up to a maximum of 6 people. The minimum group size required varies from tour to tour so please check.
