Becoming a Tour Guide

Ever thought about being an Ipswich Tour Guide?

Many Society members will have enjoyed, or read about, the splendid walking tours organised by Ipswich's Blue Badge and Town Tour Guides. Working together with Ipswich Tourist Information Centre, the Guides lead regular public tours, special themed tours, group tours, and even tours for visiting media and journalists - to name but a few. They are great ambassadors for Ipswich, helping to bring the town's history and heritage to life for locals, visitors and tourism professionals alike.

The Guides are hoping to train and recruit new members to their Association and as a first step are arranging an informal evening at the Tourist Information Centre, St Stephen's Church, on Thursday, 26 March 2009, 6-8 pm. If you would be interested on hearing more, do come along.
