Our Story

Tourguide Partner is one of the leading providers of professional tour guides across the UK, Ireland and greater Europe. With roots deeply embedded in the tourism industry, we have built our reputation by delivering exceptional experiences to travellers from around the world.

Building the Academy

As demand grew, one challenge became clear: the industry needs guides who are consistently trained to a professional standard. That's why we created the Tourguide Partner™ Training Academy — built on years of hands-on guiding expertise and a strong network of operators and tourism professionals.

For operators and clients, we deliver reliable, standards-led training (DIN EN 15565 and ITOL accredited). For our graduates, the Academy opens doors to real job opportunities, a thriving guide pool for networking and support, and an expanding range of courses and specialisation modules to keep you growing your career.
