Most people love travelling and immersing themselves in new environments.
For a successful and enjoyable tour, it is important you be in the company of a tour guide who will help you know more about the place you will be visiting and also inspire you to visit again.
Here are the qualities that a good tour guide should possess.
1. Great understanding of direction
A tour guide should be able to know where they are going and direct his/her guests accordingly. They should also be ready to inform the guests where they can converge once the tour is over.
2. Good sense of humour
A good tour guide should be able to provide amusement and provoke laughter to the guests to ensure that the tour is enjoyable and worthy of the memories. A good sense of humour comes in handy as it helps in bonding between them and the visitors.
3. Strong communication skills
A guide should be able to communicate efficiently with different groups of people. Communication matters a lot in such an industry and how good it is is the power that keeps bringing visitors back to the site.
4. Patience
A good tour guide should show enthusiasm and competence especially when dealing with questions. He/she should act as though they are answering the questions for the first time.
5. Punctuality
Time management is very crucial with tourists. This is because they do wish to cover more and have enough time in exploring the new adventures. A guide who isn't time conscious makes travellers unhappy.
