Guides come from widely varying backgrounds, including such diverse professions as actors, policemen, taxi drivers, barristers, teachers, diplomats. You do not need to be academic or a history expert to be successful, but you will need enthusiasm and an interest in communicating and interpreting Britain to visitors of all ages, backgrounds and cultures.

You will need to be:
  • a good communicator, interested in people, and in interpreting Britain to them.
  • confident in standing up in front of a group of people, but not necessarily an extrovert.
  • fit - as you may be on your feet, responsible for as many as 50 people for up to 10 hours at a stretch.
  • flexible, adaptable and able to think quickly.
