Do you enjoy local history? Enjoy meeting people? Would you like to train as one of Winchester’s official Tourist Guides?
Winchester Tourist Guides have been taking people around our beautiful city for over 40 years and last year we guided more than 4000 visitors. We pride ourselves on our professionalism. All the city’s official Tourist Guides have been trained as Green or Blue Badge guides to the standards set by the national Institute of Tourist Guiding.
A training course is starting in October 2025 to train a fresh cohort of Green Badge guides for Winchester. It is an intensive course lasting 6 months with written and practical exams at the end, but leads to very interesting and fulfilling work.
Trainee guides come from a wide cross-section of communities and educational backgrounds, and there are no academic requirements to join the course. The most important things are an interest in Winchester and its history, good communication skills and a willingness to learn.
