Guildford offers a wealth of attractions within easy reach of its cobbled High Street, combining historic architecture with first class shopping, restaurants and entertainment. 

As part of the Visit Surrey Partnership, Guildford Tourist Information Centre has launched a service to group tour operators whereby they only need to have one contact phone number and make one payment for a multi-venue day trip or overnight stay.

Simply advise your requirements and the Tourist Information staff will then present two or three alternative day trips at different per head prices.  Days are often themed, such as Town and Country, Heritage, Homes and Gardens, Art and Culture or Spa and Shopping.

The organiser can then book the option, with amendments if required and make the payment to the Tourist Information Centre.  The staff at the Information Centre will then book and confirm all arrangements with the organiser.  Day trips can include any of the following:

• A guided walking tour of Guildford. 
• A visit to an historic home or building located in the town centre and the surrounding area. 
• An enjoyable trip to one of the many magnificent gardens in the area.
• Take to the water on the beautiful River Wey in the centre of Guildford.  Join a trip from the Boat House or Dapdune Wharf, the National Trust Heritage Centre.
• Visit some of the Arts, Crafts and Galleries in the town and the surrounding area.
• Discover some of the many great days out in Surrey. 

For further information on Guildford, visit or contact the Tourist Information Centre, where the friendly and knowledgeable staff will provide additional information on the area including local entertainment, events and festivals,  accommodation, shopping and places to eat.
