London Heritage Guides
We are an association of London tour guides, founded in 2025.
We believe that tour guiding is a form of performance art. Our mission is to create a centre of excellence for the training and education of London tour guides. Our intention is to enable every student to develop the skills they need to fulfil their potential and become the best tour guide they can be.
Applications for our training course, The Art of Tour Guiding, are open now.
If you are ready for the adventure, all you need to bring is your curiosity and creativity, your willingness to collaborate and your commitment to stretch yourself. Come and join us on the journey to discover your inner tour guide!
Our training course
Our training course, which is run by Dr Caroline Dunmore, has a 14-year track record and is highly acclaimed.
This is what some of our 2023-24 students had to say about the course:
“I am already a qualified guide, having done other London-based guiding courses before. I had heard many good things about this course, but it wasn’t until I actually did it that I was absolutely amazed. This is by far the best course I have ever done.”
“Having completed the course I now feel inspired, skilled and confident to deliver. It’s been a challenging but joyous journey. I have learnt so much in such a short space of time.”
“This is the best course I have ever done. By far. I loved all of it. … This is adult learning as it should be.”
