Reliable, confident & committed to clients

I attended the tour guide training/assessment programme in 2024 and had a very positive experience. I found the guide training and on-going support very beneficial, allowing me to acquire skills, raise awareness and gain confidence to assist in preparing and carrying out the role. The programme is designed to ensure that the high standards expected from guides are being met and that an excellent customer service is provided for guests.
