About GGA

The Global Guide Alliance was created to provide a gathering place for education and connection for local guides around the world. So often we feel isolated in our profession, limited to fellow guides we know in our cities and regions.

Our principal activity is to host the Global Guide Summit, a virtual conference that provides support, community, education and work opportunities for our industry, making us feel part of a global community of experience givers!

THE TEAM

GGA is entirely volunteer-run, and spearheaded by three professional guides and trainers.
