A Guide by Any Other Name They may have changed their name, but the Association of Approved Tourist Guides of Ireland (aatgi), formerly the Federation of Irish Guiding Interests (figi), is still committed to providing the highest quality professional service. It's often said your enjoyment of a country is only as good as your tour guide, and the members of aatgi are without question among the best guides in the world. To be a member of aatgi, guides must know the island of Ireland back-to-front, inside-out and upside-down, and be registered and trained by Fáilte Ireland. And we agree that a top guide for your group is worth their weight in gold. Back to news
