What is tour guide insurance?

Tour guide insurance is a specialist form of cover designed to meet the needs of professional tour guides.

Your duty as a tour guide operator is to place your customer in the heart of the experiences they desire. However, in order to perform your responsibilities and to ensure your customer has a great time you are responsible for ‘proper performance of the contract’, this means that you can be held liable if aspects of the trip or holiday don’t go to plan, which can include the actions or inactions of subcontractors & suppliers.

Our broking specialists have many years of travel industry and insurance experience and know that not all tour guides have the same insurance requirements.

We take the time to thoroughly understand your business, processes, the tours you arrange for clients and where they are located, and how you get clients.

Through building that relationship with you, our modular tour operator policy provides our brokers with the flexibility to design your insurance programme around the needs of your business.

Tour guide insurance is a specialist form of cover designed to meet the needs of professional tour guides.  A typical policy provides tour guides with important covers, such as public liability insurance and professional indemnity insurance.

No, but if you have any employees, you are legally obliged to have employers’ liability insurance of at least £5m in place.

Because things can go wrong.  Clients can fall ill, flights cancelled, itineraries changed, or mistakes made in them, or a member of the public can have their property damaged.  All of these can result in claims that tour operator insurance can help you with financially.

The cost of your cover will depend on factors such as where you do your tours, the type and number of clients you have, your claims history, and the countries you operate in.  For a personalised tour guide insurance quote, please call us on 0203 705 3014, and the team will be happy to help.
