The Shetland Islands Tourists Guides Association
(S.I.T.G.A.) has about 30 members, all fully
trained, fully insured and regional affiliates
(Green Badge holders) of the Scottish
Tourist Guides Association. All our guides
adhere to their Code of
Conduct and Standards
of Performance.
It is a policy of S.I.T.G.A. to recruit and
train people who are multilingual, so that collectively,
they can guide using most European languages.
Individual guides specialise in Shetland's
many areas of interest, e.g. archaeology, wildlife,
geology, genealogy, history, botany, traditional
music and culture etc.
Guides can help with compiling an itinerary
for large or small parties, and they can cater
for special interest groups visiting any part
of Shetland.
