I Am a
Tour Guide
Julie Nielsen
While the excited and anxious tourists embark on their
journey, I prepare for their arrival. I will have carefully
considered the prior knowledge of my tourist and what they
will need to know when they arrive at the last tour
destination.
In order to ensure that my tour is engaging and meaningful, I
must map out the desired destinations in which we are
going, possible challenges, and pit stops. I will be adaptable
on this journey as unexpected events such as weather,
transportation issues and unplanned events will more than
likely take place. I will also have the knowledge required to
guide the tourists on such a journey.
I give my tourists the chance make
inquiries about some of the
excursions that we will participate in
throughout the tour. This is a great
time for me to answer any questions
they may have. I ensure that all the
needs of the tourists are met as my
tours focus on the traveller and their
learning experience. It is my job as
their tour guide to lead them in the
right direction so this tour is as
enjoyable and relevant as possible.
I will give my tourists some choice on how they spend their
time touring. Based on their interests and learning, they are
motivated to become more engaged and work together.
I will have my tourists express their
learning throughout and after each
destination. This allows me to stay on
track and make sure we reach our last
stop with the knowledge and skills

needed to continue on in other
travels.
As the tour guide, one of my main roles is to ensure the safety of my tourists. On such a journey as this, I will
have to make sure I know where all of my travellers are at so they don’t get left behind. I will also build
positive relationships with the tourists, as we are all on the journey together.
Tours are exciting adventures in which you learn many new things,
but they must include some relaxation time. The tourists need down
time after a long day of touring. I also need to make sure I have a
balance of guiding the tourists and rest.
When we reach our last stop, I
will have successfully guided the
tourists to all of the destinations
safely, helped them conquer
challenges that were raised, and
built positive relationships. My
hope as a tour guide is that the
tourists had a great time while
making new connections and
attained new concepts. After all
of the excitement, they will be
eager to tour on again to a new
place next year. I will ensure this
so they are able to move forward
and venture on.
When the tour comes to
an end, the unique tour
group pack up their new
knowledge and skills and
begin on a new journey. I
will see them off and wish
them the best on their
future travels.
Bon Voyage!
