What is Guide-Link?
Guide-Link was formed five years ago with the idea of providing
a service to small and large tour operators looking for guides
around the country. In addition to finding
and booking guides we also arrange and plan tours, prepare
itineries and events, and advise on most aspects of travel
and visits in Britain.
We both act as tour guides throughout England,
but for larger groups we can also offer a guide booking service
and arrange itineries.
In addition we can arrange all transport requirements, make
hotel reservations and arrange entry to museums, stately homes
and heritage properties.
Language guides are available in many languages and if special
interests are required a wide range can be covered.
