WHO are WE?
We look forward to welcoming visitors back to our beautiful Island just as soon as circumstances allow.
Welcome to the website of the Guild of Manx Registered Tour Guides. We are a membership association for all Manx qualified Blue Badge level guides and are highly trained and insured professionals. We are passionate about the Isle of Man and can provide you with the perfect Isle of Man tour – whatever your interests.
The Guild of Manx Registered Tour Guides is a membership association for those who have successfully completed an academic and practical training course, passed a series of examinations, and have been awarded a certificate and Manx Blue Badge. The Manx Guild is affiliated to the British Guild of Tourist Guides.
Only those guides who hold this qualification are permitted to describe themselves as Manx Registered Tour Guides.
Members of the Guild of Manx Registered Tour Guides are fully insured for public liability and adhere to a strict code of conduct.
All of our guides are step-on guides and are happy to join you in your own or hired car, minibus or coach.
Some of our guides can arrange local hire of fully insured vehicles, including coaches, with drivers.
Some guides also offer a variety of walking tours in our Manx towns and villages, or more strenuous countryside hiking or cycling tours.
Driver guides are licensed to chauffeur you in their own, or a hired, vehicle.
Many guides offer specialist themed talks and tours at your request and tour planning services can also be provided.
FIND a GUIDE
Our guides know all about the Isle of Man – whether it’s history, geology, wildlife, archaeology, Manx Gaelic, folklore, the story of the landscape – or where to get good food and drink! And some have specialist areas of knowledge and interest.
