The Guides

Welcome to The Guides, TILT’s regular feature celebrating the extraordinary individuals who bring the world to life through knowledge, passion, and presence.

From the storytellers animating the streets of London to the mountain leaders navigating the trails of Nepal — and the naturalists guiding trekkers through jungles rich with wildlife — we spotlight the voices and experiences that transform travel into something deeply meaningful.

Each edition introduces guides who break barriers, champion inclusivity, and open doors to cultures, landscapes, and adventures we might never find alone.

The Guides honours those who show us the way — not just across terrain, but into the heart of every journey.
