Being a great tourist guide involves much more than showing Scotland’s visitors around our stunning scenery and interpreting our past history. STGA Blue and Green Badge guides are passionate ambassadors for Scotland wherever they go, whether it is to England, America or Austrailia or simply on the streets of a Scottish village.
Such is the case for Edinburgh Blue Badge Guide, Ronnie Berri, who has recently returned from Berlin, Germany, after representing our Government’s Aviation team at the 17th World Route Development Forum.

Well ponder no more, because the World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations publishes a quarterly magazine, bringing all the latest news and experiences of guides of all nationalities.
