The New Austrian Guides' Badge

The Austrian tourist guides’ badge, has become a symbol for quality guiding services throughout Austria. We felt that after using the same badge for 10 years it was time for a change and have created a new look for our badge. Both badges are valid throughout Austria and are your guarantee for excellent service.

The badge ist an emblem of recognition for Austrian guides and a guarantee for a quality guiding service. It is an expression of our dedication to the sound, multifaceted imparting of history and culture.

Only state approved guides are permitted to wear the badge and to guide in Austria.
