Professional Skills of Tour Guide
- Hello, Michael. Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you too, Jane. I haven’t seen you in a while.
- I’ve become a tour guide in Europe.
-Ah, and how do you like your job?
- It’s great, but not easy. Tour guiding or, rather, conducting tours, requires a lot of professional skills of being a tour leader, public speaking, accurateness, necessity of knowing your topic and audience. You have to keep your talk light and positive, personalise information.
- And it’s also the way how you say it all. The presented information doesn’t have to be too serious, boring, but it does have to be witty and humorous. By the way, had you practiced before conducting your first tour?
- Yes, very much. I had learned everything by heart. During the walking tour I never read notes, although I always carry a clipboard. There are also some other tips about conducting tours.
- Perhaps, we’ll discuss them next at the French café?
- All right.
