See Southampton Heritage Guides – Sightseeing tours, tour guides and accessible tours
The history of See Southampton
In the Spring of 2014 a group of qualified Southampton tour guides decided it was time for a fresh and exciting approach to guided walks and tours in Southampton. See Southampton was formed and since then has gone from strength to strength delivering an entertaining programme of walks and talks for cruise ship passengers and visitors and Southampton residents.
See Southampton also offers an information service to cruise ship passengers visiting the city; delivers local library talks; publishes heritage articles in the Daily Echo; and runs exhibitions in the Westgate Tower, Westgate Street.
Meet the Tour Guides
See Southampton guides have been trained and examined to the exacting standards of the Institute of Tourist Guiding, of which they are all members.
See Southampton is determined to maintain the high quality of its guiding services and the knowledge of its guides.
Southampton Cruise Tourist Information
One of See Southampton’s most successful initiatives has been the establishment of the volunteering team, providing tourist information to cruise passengers at port terminals, ensuring that these visitors have an enjoyable and enriching visit to our city.
Join our team!
We are extending our team of volunteers to greet cruise ship passengers. If you have a broad knowledge of Southampton and other local places of interest as well as a good understanding of local travel arrangements we would be pleased to hear from you, and particularly if you speak a second language such as French, German, Russian, Dutch, Polish, Cantonese or Italian.
Collaboration
See Southampton is committed to working collaboratively with all organisations promoting Southampton’s history and heritage, as well as with local businesses and educational establishments.
Awards
See Southampton have been winning awards, including Gold Awards from SO Stars, holds TripAdvisor ‘Travellers’ Choice Awards’ and been awarded two silver awards for ‘Best Guided Tour/Event of the Year’ by Tourism South East’s ‘Beautiful South Awards for Tourism’.
