It's really hard to get into the tour guiding industry. So I've written a book called 'How to be a tour guide: the essential training manual for tour managers and tour guides' to make it easier. It is available at www.thetourguidebook.com
It starts with the basics, explaining how the industry works, then moves into the secrets of conducting a successful tour such as how to speak in public, how to lead large groups and how to ask for tips at the end. It also gives tips and tricks for applying for jobs and starting your own tours anywhere in the world.
