Who are we and what do we do?

Essex Tourist Guide.com is owned and operated by Essex Tourist Guide Limited - an independant Essex based company dedicated to promoting local businesses and attractions throughout the county of Essex.

Launched in December 2008, the aim of the Essex Tourist Guide is to increase visitors to our county by providing an easy to use and advanced search facility for users enabling them to search for bars, pubs & clubs, accommodation providers, restaurants, places to visit, things to do and much, much more.
Each business can include their full contact details such as address, phone and fax numbers, and website and email addresses, allowing direct contact without users having to go through an on-line booking system.

If you own or run a tourism related business based in Essex and would like it listed on the Essex Tourist Guide, please click here for more information on our comprehensive advertising package and details of how to apply.

In order to continually monitor and improve our services we welcome any comments or suggestions you may have. Please let us know via the Contact us page where you will find our full contact details and enquiry form.

We hope that you find our guide useful in planning your visit to Essex and welcome you to our county.
