Most guides are freelance and are h

Most guides are freelance and are hired for particular jobs. Tour operators and other people employ guides mainly to inform tourists about the places they are
visiting. Therefore a guide has to have a good sound knowledge not only of a
particular place but also of other things which are generally relevant – for example,
architecture, history, and local customs. During our training we intensively learn a
vast amount of information about whole range of subjects, and we have to be
capable of jumping from one topic to another in the same sentence! But the way in
which a person conveys this knowledge is the key: you have to be good at judging
what your audience is interested in and you have to know how to keep their
attention. These are not easy skills, I can tell you!
A guid׳s commentary should be interesting, lively, and above all, enthusiastic. It shouldn’t be too academic and heavy, but neither it should it be frivolous. A sense of humour is also important, but again one should only be humourous where appropriate.
׳Getting the balance righ is the main skill of guiding and commentaries should vary according to each group. A group of schoolchildren and a group of architects require a
very different approach.
Tourists ask a lot of questions and a guide should
be friendly, helpful, and approachable. Guides shouldn’t claim to know everyt
hing - were not superhuman! If you don’t know the answer, say so, but add ׳
I’ll find out it for you Questions can vary. They can be practical ones, it’s important to know where the toilets are situated as well as the date of a monument! When things go
wrong – as they occasionally do – a guide should pause and calmly sort out the
problem, and try to make sure that the original itinerary is kept to.

A guide takes on a number of roles for the tourist: teacher, entertainer, ambassador, nurse, and the boss. As teacher the guide is passing on information, as
we’ve discussed. Most tour groups are on holiday so they want to enjoy themselves
and want to be entertained to a certain extent. People also need looking after, so
you sometimes have to be a nurse. Some people are jet-lagged or have minor
illnesses (sometimes worse!). When we train, we do a basic first-aid course.
As a guide you really are an ambassador for your country and it is your job
to promote it. For many people you are the only person from that country that they
have any contact with. As an ambassador you also have to know about diplomacy
and you are responsible for making sure everyone is happy.
You also have to be the boss in order to ensure that the itinerary runs
smoothly. You’re often in charge of checking in and out of hotels, taking care of
baggage, money, and so on. Efficiency is very important in all of this.
Above all as a guide you have to like people. You meet the world in this job, some great people and some awful ones, but youhave to try to treat them all as equals. Don’t be patronizing, but welcome everyone as if they were a VIP to your country. But most of all enjoy it
