This is great. Some friends of mine who are expats in my country are having a group of people from their country visit and have asked me to show the guests around town (speaking their language) ..which will be be an exciting challenge. Thank you for this
Good evening my name is Julian Gonzalez, and I considered that the tips of the show in the video are very important because we can see in the practise form how we should do a tour guide; besides he recommend a the behavior suitable with the tourist; for they have a good experience during the tour, for example: When our asking groups of the opinion however at tour.

Very useful, thanks so much. I am a published author and am starting my own LITERARY walking tour of Galway city, City of the Scribes (a pun on Tribes, i.e.Galway's founding families). I did a "recon" earlier in the month and got everything packed into a tight 90mins, but having a "script" to work from will be crucial.
Best of luck - please report back and let us know how it goes!

Jane Noya hello jane
@@herichami1063 yes?
hello 😊
Wow
MANY TIMES WE THINGS VERY BASIC FOR HIGH BUT VERY IMPORTANT TIME TO TIME TO MAKE A GOOD GUIDANCE TOURIST WALK THAT DURING OR AT THE END OF THE TOUR VISITORS REALIZE BUT INTHE MOST CASES NOT EXPRESS OR SIMPLY NOT DEPENDING ON THE cituacion LES MATTER IN WHICH THE CREDIBILITY IS SEEN THE GUIDE .
"kwno wath are you talking about", know your work area´s, practice, carfully in the street´s, be notorius and simple for the turist´s, where, when, how and the check list of the activities in the travel or guide. look into the eye turist, look him in the eyes usually, clipboard?m looks important but interrups other activities, :D.
Hey Nick, thank for you tips! I have a question if you don't mind answering, if I'm giving a tour in a very sunny and hot place, is there a problem if i use an umbrella and how should i use so it doesn't interfere with the tour? And do you have any tips to actually design a walking tour?
Hi Camilo - sorry I missed this when you first asked the question. Yep, an umbrella for that sort of thing is totally fine, just be aware of where it's positioned so it isn't blocking your face or the view. And RE designing a walking tour, my book talks about that specifically. You can find a free sample of the audiobook which talks about it on youtube here: ruclips.net/video/3PM05N9c1xY/видео.html and the full book is available on Amazon here: www.amazon.com/dp/B00N0OLOEO/
Cooler please
I can't find the page to buy the book... Please advice
Hi Ratana - thanks for letting me know the link in the video was broken! It has now been fixed, however the direct links are:
Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B00N0OLOEO
iTunes itunes.apple.com/us/book/id969931943
Google Play goo.gl/EtpSLk
Audible www.audible.com/pd/B01M19D9R2
I hope that helps!
In my place it's very difficult to purchase anything from amazon.. Usually we purchase directly n book can send via email ( e book).
COMENTARIO ACERCA DEL VIDEO DE LOS 12 TIPS POR NICK MANNING:
MUCHAS VECES PASAMOS COSAS MUY BASICAS POR ALTO PERO A LA VEZ MUY IMPORTANTES A LA HORA DE HACER UNA BUENA GUIANZA TURISTICA A PIE, QUE DURANTE O AL FINALIZAR EL RECORRIDO LOS VISITANTES SE DAN CUENTA PERO ENLA MAYORIA DE LOS CASOS NO LO EXPRESAN O SIMPLEMENTE NO LES IMPORTA DEPENDIENDO LA CITUACION EN LA QUE SE VE INVOLUCRADA LA CREDIBILIDAD DEL GUIA.
