Guided Tour at United Nations Headquarters

29 August 2001

United Nations tour guides have been conducting tours at the New York Headquarters since November 1952. The first corps of ten guides was hired by the American Association for the United Nations which ran the tour operation until 1955, when the guided tour operation was incorporated into the United Nations Office of Public Information. The number of tour guides - and the number of nationalities represented has varied over the years. In 2001, the Guided Tours Unit employs between 40 and 60 guides, who give tours in 20 languages and come form nearly 30 different countries.
