Guiding the tour guides

We are happy to help the Bailiwick of Guernsey Accredited Guides Training Scheme with training on presentations and their tour guiding.

The skills in being a tour guide, whether on foot on in a vehicle are varied as the guide needs great people skills as well as a library of information which they can convey in an entertaining and memorable way.

We have been involved in training on presentations for over 20 years during which time the props may bave become digital but the core human to human delivery skills have been constant.
