The Blue Badge is the highest level qualification from the Institute of Tourist Guiding in the UK.
A Blue Badge holder is qualified for all three modes of guiding: walks, at a site and on a moving vehicle.
We are the only external guides allowed to give tours of major sites and attractions in London and the UK.
The qualification dates from 1951 and to qualify I had to complete an intensive 2 year course and pass 11 rigorous exams.
