What does a Tour Guide do?
As a tour guide, you can look forward to an exciting and varied everyday working life. Tour guides familiarize people with the history, functions, customs, nature of a particular region, country or establishment. The tour guide's responsibilities include planning travel itineraries, familiarizing customers with the locality by vehicle or foot, and ensuring that the group remains safe at all times. You should also stay up-to-date with new attractions that may be of interest to customers. To ensure success as a tour guide, you should be an excellent storyteller with a knack for customer service. As your customers typically include foreigners on vacation, you should be aware of different cultures and languages. An outstanding tour guide will perform minor alterations to each itinerary to suit the unique interests of each group.
