Co to jest system tour guide i dlaczego warto z niego korzystać?

Wakacje to dla jednych czas niedużych wyjazdów, a dla innych realizacji podróży życia. Gdziekolwiek byśmy jednak nie byli, warto skusić się na zwiedzanie muzeów, starówek czy całych miast z przewodnikiem, dzięki czemu wycieczka stanie się dużo bardziej owocna. Coraz częściej elementem niezbędnym do oprowadzania stają się specjalne systemy tour guide. Na pytania - co to jest i gdzie ma zastosowanie - odpowiemy w dalszej części artykułu.

Czym jest system tour guide?

Zestawy tour guide to nowoczesne urządzenia mobilne, które służą do bezprzewodowej komunikacji, a dokładniej do jednokierunkowego przesyłu dźwieków. Są to radiowe systemy, które - jak wskazuje nazwa - służą oprowadzaniu. System tour guide składa się z nadajnika i odbiorników, które wielkością przypominają telefon komórkowy lub powerbank. Nadajniki posiadają niewielki mikrofony, przez które przewodnik kontaktuje się z grupą, zaś odbiorniki są wyposażone w słuchawki, by odsłuchiwać opowieści czy ogłoszenia osoby oprowadzającej. Zestaw tour guide jest zaprojektowany z myślą o obowiązkach przewodników turystycznych, którzy z reguły pracują w dość dużym hałasie i muszą przekazać jak najwięcej informacji grupie turystów. Tak zwane audioprzewodniki czy radioprzewodniki umożliwiają komfortową komunikację nawet w bardzo trudnych warunkach. Systemy tour guide są dostępne w dwóch wariantach - zestawach analogowych lub cyfrowych, niekiedy stosuje się też sprzęt do dwukierunkowego przesyłu dźwięku (raczej w biznesie, tłumaczeniach).

Zalety systemu tour guide

Największą zaletą zestawu tour guide jest oszczędność czasu i zdrowia przewodnika oraz zwiedzających. Osoba oprowadzająca nie musi już dłużej czekać, aż grupa się zbierze, by przekazać jej informacje na temat historii danego miejsca, a do tego nie musi krzyczeć, by być słyszaną. Co więcej, często odwiedza się miejsca, w których należy zachować ciszę, zatem mówienie pełnym czy podniesionym głosem w kościołach, muzeach czy miejscach kultu jest zakazane. Zestawy tour guide są również bardzo łatwe w obsłudze. Z reguły wystarczy wcisnąć jeden guzik, za pomocą którego uruchamiamy i wyłączamy urządzenie. Jest to więc dobre rozwiązanie również dla starszych osób i małych dzieci. Kolejna zaleta to możliwość słuchania opowieści przewodnika nawet z dużej odległości. Niektóre odbiorniki pozwalają na oddalenie się od nadajnika nawet o 100-200 metrów, przez co zwiedzanie staje się bardziej komfortowe i możemy na przykład zrobić więcej zdjęć z rożnych perspektyw, nie opóźniając wycieczki. Warto podkreślić, że zestawy tour guide mają możliwość podłączenia telefonu lub MP3, co daje kolejne możliwości w postaci autodeskrypcji opowiadanych historii. Tour guide są sprzętem wytrzymałym, dzięki czemu można udać się na bardzo długą wycieczkę, nie martwiąc się o baterię w odbiorniku. Niewielkie gabaryty sprzętu sprawiają, że jest on wygodny podczas zwiedzania i nie obciąża turystów ani przewodników. Coraz częściej nadajniki i odbiorniki są bardzo estetyczne i wykonane z dużą precyzją. Ostatnią zaletą jest cena sprzętu. Zestawy do oprowadzania są stosunkowo niedrogie, zaś ich działanie stanowią ogromne ułatwienie zarówno dla osoby oprowadzającej, jak i dla turystów.

Pozostałe zastosowania zestawów tour guide

Systemy tour guide, przez wzgląd na liczne zalety i funkcjonalności, ma zastosowanie również w innych branżach niż turystyka. Z zestawów nadajników i odbiorników tego typy korzystają również piloci, tłumacze czy prezenterzy, którzy często muszą zdawać relacje z różnych miejsc, niekiedy pracują w trudnych warunkach i ogromnym hałasie. System jest używany podczas oficjalnych kongresów czy ważnych konferencji, ale również podczas spotkań bądź szkoleń. Z tego względu częstymi klientami stają się biura podróży i muzea oraz agencje eventowe, międzynarodowe koncerny, uczelnie, agencje tłumaczeń, firmy szkoleniowe, przedsiębiorstwa, organizacje pozarządowe czy sektor publiczny. Należy dodać, że systemy tour guide są doskonałymi rozwiązaniami dla różnego rodzaju pracy w hałasie, dlatego są wykorzystywane również w fabrykach.

Czym są i do czego służą systemy Tour Guide

Artykuł Dodaj artykuł

18-11-2016, 00:00 Systemy tour-guide powstały z myślą o turystyce. Ich pierwotnym przeznaczeniem było umożliwienie komunikacji przewodnika z grupami turystycznymi lub pielgrzymkowymi. Coraz częściej znajdują swoje zastosowanie w innych dziedzinach życia, na przykład w biznesie, przemyśle, czy kulturze, i cieszą się rosnącą popularnością.

Jak działa tour guide system i z czego się składa?

Typowy tour guide system składa się z nadajnika radiowego oraz kieszonkowych odbiorników ze słuchawkami. Osoba posiadająca nadajnik (np. przewodnik wycieczki) za pomocą bezprzewodowego mikrofonu przekazuje informacje do pozostałych członków grupy. Istnieją też systemy audio-guide, które polegają na odsłuchiwaniu nagranych wcześniej wypowiedzi lektora oraz systemy do komunikacji dwustronnej, które umożliwiają prowadzenie dyskusji.

Systemy audio tour guide umożliwiają przekazywanie informacji dużej grupie odbiorców w zatłoczonych, hałaśliwych miejscach, bez konieczności przekrzykiwania się. Są lekkie, niewielkie i wygodne, a ich obsługa jest prosta i nie sprawia kłopotów użytkownikom. Nie wymagają instalowania żadnego oprogramowania, ani stałego dostępu do źródła zasilania.

Gdzie można stosować tour guide system?

Pierwotnym przeznaczeniem systemów tour guide była turystyka. W ostatnich latach stały się też popularne w innych branżach. Jakich? Oto kilka przykładów.

• Przemysł. Podczas oprowadzania gości po hali produkcyjnej, czy prowadzenia szkoleń na terenie zakładu, hałas może stanowić barierę komunikacyjną. System tour guide pozwala unikać podnoszenia głosu i zwiększa komfort wypowiedzi. Dzięki temu goście czy prelegenci nie mają problemówz odbiorem komunikatów. Szczególnie efektywny jest system tourguide full duplex, który umożliwia komunikację dwustronną.  
• Muzea. Panuje tam zazwyczaj cisza, więc gdy w jednym pomieszczeniu spotkają się dwie grupy turystów, mogą przeszkadzać nie tylko sobie nawzajem, ale też pozostałym odwiedzającym. W takich przypadkach system audio guide powoduje, że każdy uczestnik wycieczki może wysłuchać przewodnika lub lektora w komfortowych warunkach.  
• Tłumaczenia. Podczas wycieczek, delegacji, na międzynarodowych targach, konferencjach, a nawet spotkań o charakterze rządowym – wszędzie tam tłumacze odgrywają ważną rolę. Systemy tour guide sprawdzają się doskonale, ponieważ pomagają usprawniać przebieg wydarzeń. Organizatorzy międzynarodowych spotkań mogą zdecydować się na systemy mobilne lub systemy stacjonarne, które wykorzystywane są zazwyczaj w profesjonalnych salach konferencyjnych, na uczelniach oraz w biurach tłumaczeń.  
• Audiodeskrypcja. Jest to sposób werbalnego przekazywania wizualnych treści osobom niewidomymi niedowidzącym. Służy do relacjonowania wydarzeń sportowych, kulturalnych, czy artystycznych.Tour guide system pozwala aktywnie uczestniczyć w życiu społecznym osobom z dysfunkcjami wzroku.

Zastosowań systemów tour guide z pewnością jest dużo więcej, a sposób ich wykorzystania zależy często od fantazji użytkowników. Na rynku dostępnych jest wiele rodzajów systemów, które dają przeróżne możliwości. Mnogość rozwiązań powoduje, że systemy audio tour guide zyskują coraz więcej zwolenn

5 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Deciding on a Guided Tour

Booking your ticket to the far-off destination you’ve been dreaming of is a thrilling experience in itself. The exhilaration of knowing you are about to have the adventure of a lifetime is enough to keep you riding high for weeks or even months.

But if you're not a planner by nature, spending hours figuring out the logistics of your trip can be a serious buzzkill.

Thankfully, travel companies are making it easier than ever for travelers to head out on breathtaking excursions without planning a single thing. If you’re up to trying something new but don’t have time to figure out all the details, then perhaps it’s best to leave it up to the professionals.

On a recent journey to South America, I tagged along with Mountain Lodges of Peru , a travel company offering a unique take on guided tours. (It’s no wonder this company was named one of the best tour operators in Travel + Leisure ’s 2017 World's Best Awards .)

From transportation, to food, to lodging, right down to the pack mules for the Inca Trail , every single moment of this trip was meticulously planned for our group. All we had to do was take in everything Peru had to offer, worry-free.

If you’re hesitant to book a guided trip, ask yourself these five crucial questions to set your mind at ease before putting your travels in someone else’s hands.

How large is your group?

If I learned one thing about guided tours on my trip through Peru, it was that they are the ultimate way to see a new destination as a solo traveler .

Upon landing in Cusco at 6 a.m. following a nine-hour overnight flight from Los Angeles, a member of the Mountain Lodges of Peru team was there to greet me, help with my bags, and get me to my hotel so I could get back to bed before our big adventure began. As a woman traveling alone to a country I had never visited, it was quite reassuring to know I wasn’t simply riding along in the dark with total strangers.

How comfortable are you traveling to a new and unfamiliar place?

If you’re traveling to a destination where you’ve been once or twice, then perhaps you won’t feel the need for a guide, instead opting to re-visit all your favorite haunts. But, if you’re going somewhere new and you don’t know the language or the location well — or are simply looking for a new take on a classic — then a group guided tour may be the ideal answer.

Having a guide to share the ins and outs of Peruvian travel culture proved crucial more than once on my trip. For example, in Peru it’s customary to tip a few sol to people you take pictures of, especially those dressed in traditional clothing at its many cultural sites. This was something our guides informed us of in the beginning of our trip, along with the custom of tipping to use the public toilets in many of the villages and towns we passed through. And perhaps best of all, our guides also carried plenty of extra supplies with them along the routes, just in case.

How deep do you want to dive into a new culture?

Beyond feeling like I was truly immersing myself in the Peruvian culture thanks to my intrepid guides who explained every sight and sound’s importance to the country in detail, I also learned a great deal by listening in on what other travelers on my trip were asking.

Moreover, during our journey, our guides took us to places other tourists don't venture to, like the town of Choquecancha, where we met with master weavers to learn about their trade and have a peaceful lunch with them in their own shop. While I had my own questions for these women, it was an added bonus to join conversations they were having with my fellow tour group participants.

There, I was able to learn things I didn’t even realize I had questions about, like how the women dye their threads in such remote locations (they boil local vegetation and dip the alpaca wool in and out throughout the day), and just what their different hat styles really mean (it’s an indicator of their marital status. If only it were that easy in the United States).

Thanks to my tour group's unique partnerships within the communities they pass through, we were given unfettered access to the people and places that make Peru so unique. And that’s an experience I would have a hard time finding on my own.

Is your location particularly difficult to travel around in?

In Peru, the roads are thin and winding, the mountains are endlessly high, and some areas are so steep and so narrow to climb that had my guide not been there to show me the way, I may have turned back more than once. But having the backing of someone who has been there once or twice (or a thousand times) gave me the complete sense of calm I needed to let go of all travel fears and anxiety .

And sure, not every destination is as treacherous sounding as climbing a 13,000-foot elevation, but you know what, navigating the streets of Rome, Tokyo, or Rio can be just as confusing. A guided tour offers you the chance to not worry about which route is best, as someone else has already determined that for you.

Do you find value in sharing experiences or would you rather have time to self-reflect?

Going to Peru I knew I’d see a lot, learn a lot, and have plenty of time to soak up the culture, but one thing I didn’t anticipate was how easily I’d make a host of new friends and how crucial they’d become to my journey.

Each night, our tour group would gather over a meal to discuss the plans for the next day and also share with one another what we had learned along the way. It was in these shared moments that I felt even more connected to my trip and was able to see the same experience through other perspectives.

But the guided tour also offered me the opportunity to break away from the group whenever I chose to do so to take a quiet moment to myself. Be that over morning tea (or coca leaves in Peru), an evening stroll, stepping away in Machu Picchu to soak it all in, or simply choosing to not take part in a guided activity, those little moments were just as essential to the enjoyment of my travels as the guided days.

And, on this particular trip, I was able to choose which adventure I wanted to go on each day: a guided hike or a guided cultural exchange, which meant I could still personalize my travels.

In the end it’s important to remember it’s your money, your time, and your own personal journey, so do what’s right for you to ensure it’s the fulfilling experience you were hoping for.

Once you choose a destination, do a bit of searching to see if there’s a guided tour that fits your goals (like eating your way through Italy or biking through Napa Valley), your budget, and your time.

What Does a Tour Guide Do?

How do you make your travels more memorable? Let's talk about tour guides, the unsung heroes of every great trip.

A tour guide makes up 85% of what travelers think about a tour. So, if you're running a travel business and want to improve customer satisfaction, start by hiring and/or training great tour guides.

In this guide, we'll explore what makes a great tour guide. We'll look at the skills they should have, like sharing knowledge, ensuring safety, respecting local cultures, and caring for the environment.

How important are tour guides?

Travel guides are the heartbeat of the industry. They turn simple trips into unforgettable experiences by blending stories, culture, and adventure.

These guides do more than just show the way. Whether it's leading a tour through ancient ruins, leading a wildlife safari, or guiding you through a city, they connect people with the world.

So what do they do? We've got 10 key things tourist guides should practice and be trained in.  

What does a tour guide do?

1. provides information.

A tour guide's superpower is sharing fascinating information. They don't just show places; they bring them to life with stories about history, culture, and more.

Imagine exploring an ancient site while your guide unveils its secrets, from architectural marvels to dramatic historical tales.

• Why It Matters: This storytelling turns a regular trip into an unforgettable journey. It's the difference between just looking at old stones and feeling the pulse of history beneath your feet. Tourists carry these stories home, making their experience richer and more meaningful.
• The Risk of Falling Short: A guide who can't weave these tales leaves travelers with just snapshots, not stories. It turns an adventure into just another walk, leading to disappointment and forgettable trips. For a travel business, this means unhappy customers and a reputation that takes a nosedive.

2. Guarantees guest safety

At the core of a tour guide's responsibilities is ensuring the safety and well-being of guests. This includes sticking to safety protocols, guiding guests during activities, and handling emergencies effectively.

Take a wilderness hike, for example. A skilled guide not only checks that everyone has the right gear but also clearly explains safety rules. If a hiker twists an ankle on a tricky trail, a guide's quick response is crucial.

• Why Safety is Key: Safety is the foundation of a successful tour. A guide's ability to manage risks and respond to emergencies not only protects the guests but also builds trust. This trust is essential for an enjoyable and worry-free experience.
• The Consequences of Neglect: Ignoring safety can lead to serious consequences. A lapse in safety measures might result in accidents or emergencies, tarnishing the tour experience and the reputation of the travel business. In the world of travel, a safe journey is as important as an enjoyable one.

3. Manages itinerary

A tour guide's ability to organize and execute a tour itinerary is vital. This involves scheduling activities, coordinating transport, and managing time effectively to guarantee a seamless experience.

Consider a multi-day city tour. Here, the guide carefully plans each day, arranging museum visits, landmark tours, and dining experiences, all while balancing the group's time to maximize their enjoyment.

• Why it matters: Efficient itinerary management is the backbone of a smooth tour. It ensures that every experience is woven seamlessly into the journey, giving guests a well-rounded and hassle-free experience.
• The impact of poor management: If a guide mismanages the itinerary, the tour can turn chaotic, leading to missed opportunities and dissatisfaction. Timely and organized execution is key to keeping the tour on track and ensuring that every moment counts for the guests.

4. Knows how to engage guests

A tour guide's skill at engaging with guests, answering their questions, and offering enlightening insights plays a big role in enhancing the tour experience.

Imagine a wildlife safari where the guide doesn't just point out animals but passionately describes their habits and habitats. They encourage questions, sparking a deeper connection between the tourists and the wildlife around them.

• Why engagement matters: Effective engagement transforms a standard tour into an interactive journey. It's not just about seeing; it's about understanding and connecting. When a guide is interactive, it elevates the tourists' enjoyment and enriches their learning.
• The downside of disengagement: A guide who lacks this ability may leave guests feeling disconnected and uninvolved. Engagement is key to keeping the experience lively, educational, and memorable. Without it, even the most exotic tour can feel flat and unimpressive.

5. Speaks local

A tour guide's proficiency in the local language, coupled with their ability to translate or interpret for non-native speakers, is crucial for a smooth tour experience.

For instance, in a foreign country, a skilled guide not only fluently translates the tour explanations but also bridges the gap in conversations between tourists and locals. This ensures clear and effective communication throughout the journey.

• Why language skills are vital: Being fluent in the local language is more than just about communication; it's about connection. It helps in accurately conveying the essence of culture and history, and in facilitating meaningful interactions with locals.
• The impact of language barriers: Without strong language skills, misunderstandings can occur, potentially leading to a less fulfilling experience for the tourists. A guide's ability to speak the local language fluently is key to a seamless and enriching travel experience.

6. Excels at tour planning and logistics

A tour guide's role in overseeing and executing the logistical aspects of a tour is crucial. This includes arranging accommodations, meals, permits, and tickets, ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Take a cruise excursion as an example. Here, the guide handles all the details, from coordinating transport from the ship to securing attraction tickets. He also organizes a picnic lunch for the group.

• Why it matters: Efficient planning ensures that every aspect of the tour is hassle-free for guests. It's about providing a seamless experience where tourists can focus on enjoying their adventure, not worrying about the details.
• The consequences of poor planning: Poor planning can lead to logistical mishaps, inconvenience, and frustration. A tour guide's skill in managing these details is essential for a successful and enjoyable tour, enhancing the overall travel experience.

7. Respects cultural aspects & beliefs

Tour guides' ability to promote cultural respect and sensitivity among tourists is pivotal. It involves ensuring tourists appreciate and follow local customs and traditions.

For example, on a cultural heritage tour, the guide might encourage visitors to remove their shoes before entering a sacred temple. This reinforces the importance of respecting local practices.

• Why it matters: Respecting cultural norms is the key to an immersive and respectful travel experience. It helps tourists connect more deeply with the places they visit and fosters mutual understanding between different cultures.
• The impact of cultural insensitivity: Lack of cultural respect can lead to uncomfortable situations and offend local communities. A guide's role in educating and guiding tourists about these aspects is critical for maintaining harmony and enhancing the overall quality of the tour.

8. Promotes sustainability

A tour guide's commitment to promoting responsible and sustainable tourism practices is crucial. This includes educating tourists on proper waste disposal and minimizing their impact on the natural environment.  

Consider a nature hike: a knowledgeable guide leads the way and teaches the group about preserving the ecosystem. They emphasize the importance of leaving no trace, like avoiding littering, to protect the environment.

• Why sustainability matters: Encouraging sustainability is vital for protecting the places we love to visit. It ensures that these destinations remain pristine and enjoyable for future generations. Responsible practices reflect a commitment to the environment and local communities.
• The risks of ignoring sustainability: Neglecting sustainable practices can lead to environmental degradation, disrupting natural balance and diminishing tourist destinations. A guide's role in promoting sustainability is key to maintaining our natural and cultural treasures.

9. Handles the unexpected with ease

Tour guides' ability to handle unexpected challenges, like weather disruptions or participant concerns, is critical.

Imagine a sudden rainstorm hitting during an outdoor activity. An adept guide doesn't just find shelter; they swiftly rearrange the schedule to adapt to the new conditions, ensuring the tour continues smoothly.

• Why it matters: The unexpected is part of travel, and a guide's readiness to tackle these surprises head-on can make or break the tour experience. Their quick thinking and problem-solving skills keep the adventure on track, providing peace of mind for tourists.
• The impact of unpreparedness: If a guide cannot manage unforeseen events effectively, it can lead to disarray and disappointment. Being equipped to handle the unexpected is essential for maintaining the flow and enjoyment of the tour, no matter what comes your way.

10. Good record-keeper

Tour guides' skill in maintaining accurate records of tour-related information, including attendance, expenses, and incidents, is vital. Utilizing an online booking system enhances this process significantly, offering ease and precision in record-keeping.

Consider a guided photography tour. With an online system, the guide can efficiently log participant details, track locations visited, and note special photographic moments. This streamlines organization and provides participants with a detailed account of their experience.

• Why it matters: Online booking systems bring efficiency and accuracy to record-keeping. They simplify data management, making it easier to track and update tour details, leading to better planning and execution. For guests, these records can become cherished summaries of their journey.
• The downside of manual record-keeping: Relying solely on manual methods can lead to errors and oversights, potentially affecting the tour’s smooth operation and perceived professionalism.

An online system mitigates these risks, ensuring records are up-to-date and easily accessible. This digital approach is a significant advantage for both tour guides and operators in delivering a high-quality travel experience.

To sum up, tour guides are much more than just travel facilitators; they are the architects of unforgettable experiences. Their expertise in delivering engaging information, prioritizing safety, seamlessly managing itineraries, and promoting cultural sensitivity transforms a mere trip into an enriching journey.

In recognizing the invaluable role of tour guides, we see them as essential guides to the world's marvels. They bring depth, safety, and insight to every adventure. They are the bridge connecting curious travelers to the wonders around them, making each journey not just a visit, but a story worth telling.

As we applaud these unsung heroes of travel, we understand that their skills and passion truly open the doors to the world's treasures for us all.

The Difference Between Tour Guide and Tourist Guide

• 2024-03-07 2024-03-07

When it comes to exploring a new place, many people rely on the expertise of professionals to make their experience more enjoyable and informative. Two terms that often come up in this context are ‘tour guide’ and ‘tourist guide.’ While the names might seem interchangeable, there are actually significant differences between the two roles. In this article, we will explore these differences and understand the unique responsibilities each entails.

1. Tour Guide

A tour guide, as the name suggests, is responsible for guiding a group of tourists through a specific destination. Their primary role is to provide detailed information about the location’s history, culture, traditions, and landmarks. Tour guides are typically well-versed in their area of expertise and possess extensive knowledge of the sites they are showcasing.

Responsibilities of a Tour Guide:

• Conducting guided tours of various attractions and landmarks
• Explaining the historical and cultural significance of the places visited
• Answering questions and providing additional information
• Maintaining a structured itinerary and ensuring that the group stays on schedule
• Ensuring the safety and well-being of the tourists
• Offering recommendations for local restaurants, accommodations, and activities

For example, imagine visiting the magnificent architectural wonders of Rome. A tour guide would take you through the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Vatican, sharing captivating stories and highlighting interesting details about these iconic sites.

2. Tourist Guide

A tourist guide, on the other hand, focuses on providing individualized assistance to tourists. While they may have knowledge about the destination, their primary role is to assist visitors in navigating their way around a new place and ensuring a smooth travel experience. Tourist guides often work in the form of freelancers or are dedicated to a particular travel agency.

Responsibilities of a Tourist Guide:

• Assisting tourists with travel arrangements, such as booking flights, accommodations, and transportation
• Providing recommendations on popular tourist spots, local cuisine, and shopping areas
• Helping tourists communicate with locals by acting as interpreters
• Offering guidance on travel itineraries based on individual preferences
• Resolving any issues or challenges faced by tourists during their trip

Let’s say you’re planning a trip to Thailand. A tourist guide would assist you in finding the best beaches, recommending popular local dishes like Pad Thai, and even help with language barriers when interacting with locals.

Key Differences

While both tour guides and tourist guides play essential roles in enhancing the travel experience, understanding the difference between the two can help you choose the right professional for your needs. If you’re interested in learning about the history and cultural significance of a destination, a tour guide is your go-to person. On the other hand, if you need assistance in making travel arrangements and want personalized recommendations, a tourist guide is the right choice. Remember, both guides have their own unique expertise and can contribute significantly to making your journey unforgettable.

12 reasons why good tour guides are so important

Ah, the tour guide. That special person who welcomes you to their country and looks after you, ensuring you have a fabulous trip! But how and why exactly are they a great addition to a trip? We enumerate ...

1. Tour guides navigate for you

Wondering if you've missed your bus connection is frustrating. So too is getting off at the wrong stop. And fuming at a loss of signal at the very moment you need your app to tell you which exit to take ... nobody needs that.

So yes, primary among the benefits of a tour guide is having someone to do all the navigating for you.

Navigating can include:

• Getting your from the airport to your hotel without hiccough.
• Leading you through the warren of streets in an old town.
• Taking the lead on a trek so you don't go in a circle.
• Even just ensuring you find your way out of that enormous botanic garden.

Navigating can include driving you

A tour guide also often drives you around. Or in some cases, they'll acquire a vehicle and driver for you.

This is a big help, saving your from the hassle of a car hire. You also won't have any heart-stopping moments when you pull out and realise you're facing oncoming traffic. And you won't ever come back to your vehicle to discover you didn't feed a hidden parking meter.

On safari, your tour guide is also your driver

2. Tour guides do your admin for you

This is a biggie. Tour guides take care of all of your admin for you, like:

• Preordering permits and pre-booking accommodation.
• Paying admittance fees beforehand, saving you the need to queue.
• Coordinating travel times for buses, trains, flights, etc.
• Overseeing the transfer of luggage.
• Ordering and collecting packed lunches, drinking water and the like.

Some of our trips, like Kilimanjaro climbs, involve a LOT of admin!

3. Tour guides keep you safe

If safety was the only benefit of a tour guide, we think it would be enough for us to be super pro tour guides! A tour guide looks after you from arrival to departure.

It's worth pointing out that at Follow Alice we believe tour guides should be locals. One of the reasons for this (although there are certainly others as well) is that only locals can truly know the do's and don'ts of their society and environments in order to keep you safe.

Local tour guides are there with you to ensure:

• You don't go into any dangerous areas.
• You're not accosted by overly zealous vendors.
• Your belongings are kept safe.
• You don't get bamboozled by shysters.
• You don't pick a poisonous plant, or pet a treacherous animal.

The list could go on.

Tour guides also ensure you don't get 'little things' wrong, like wearing sandals on a day when they know you need closed, sturdy shoes.

Adventure tour guides are especially important

The adventure tour guide offers a whole other level of safety and security. Whether it's guiding you safely through islands on a kayaking adventure, or leading you through thick forest on a trekking trip, they're there to ensure you:

• Set out with the right clobber to protect you from the elements.
• Stay on path and don't get lost.
• Don't push yourself too hard (sometimes by monitoring your vitals).
• Receive timely and appropriate treatment (medical or otherwise) should you need it.

It's impossible to overstate the value of a tour guide in keeping you safe, especially on an adventure trip.

4. Tour guides are interpreters

A tour guide speaks the language of the locals, and as such is your ever-present translator. Without a tour guide, you wouldn't be able to communicate with some locals. You'd also miss out on many interesting insights and some beautiful moments of connection.

Remember to always ask before taking photos of locals; your tour guide can assist in this to ensure nothing is lost in translation.

5. Good tour guides explain things to you

It's easy to find out the name of the bridge you're walking over. But do you want to know why it's called that? And yes, you can take a pic of a gorgeous tree and use an app to tell you it's name. But do you want someone there to explain why, for instance, the bark is stripped away near the base?

Tour guides are there to answer your questions, and also supply answers to questions you hadn't even thought to ask!

Tour guides have intimate knowledge of the area and can drop all sorts of fabulous knowledge bombs.

Tour guides also give you insights into how locals feel about what's going on in their country and around the world. So from them you get to learn about some truly local perspectives. And we all know that logic isn't universal – what seems logical to one culture can be very different in another, and it helps to have a guide with you to illuminate such things.

Finally, tour guides are there to ensure you don't blunder unnecessarily in terms of local customs and sensitivities. They can also advise you ahead of time if you need to dress smartly or cover up in order to enter certain places.

6. Good tour guides get you good deals

When you travel with a tour guide, they (and the tour company they work for) are able to get you the best deals. They know which days have cheaper admittance fees, for instance. They can also sometimes get tour guide discounts that aren't available to tourists.

Finally, when you join a tour guide who's leading a large group, they're often able to get some sweet group discounts.

7. Good tour guides are photographers

Sometimes it's great to hand the camera to someone else to take a photo with you in it. 📸

8. Good tour guides encourage you

On tough adventures like high-altitude trekking, most of us end up in need of some encouragement when the legs tire and the mind starts to tell you sneaky lies like you can't keep going. Your guide is invaluable is encouraging you in such moments. They can also provide little tips for the mind and body to help you to keep going.

A good tour guide believes in you and knows how to help you to believe in yourself.

We can't tell you how many folks have told us that they would literally not have made it to the summit of Kilimanjaro if it hadn't been for the support of their guides.

9. Good tour guides ensure you miss nothing

A tour guide knows the area intimately and knows of people, quiet spots and experiences that aren't discussed on any website. They're there to ensure you get the most out of your time, and have the most authentic experience possible.

This includes seeing animals!

Safari guides are trained to spot hard-to-see animals that city-dwelling mortals would surely miss. It's amazing the number of camouflaged animals and birds that safari guides are able to point out to clients.

They give you recommendations

A tour guide can also be invaluable in terms of recommendations for markets and shops to pop into, museums, galleries and palaces to visit, gardens and parks to explore, and so on.

And the reverse is true too. They know what places to avoid because they're actually letdowns, overcrowded or overpriced.

Tour guides also know where the locals like to eat – and those are often the places with the tastiest and best-prices meals. And when you have a local with you, there's no possibility of feeling awkward, like not knowing if you should seat yourself or wait to be seated. (Your tour guide is also a good person to ask about tipping customs.)

10. Good tour guides pivot when necessary

If you arrive somewhere and it's closed for renovations, or unexpectedly overcrowded, then your tour guide is able to pivot and suggest the next best option, or an alternative, to ensure you still maximise your time in the destination.

They really do take the headache out of travelling!

An experienced guide can pivot when necessary in a way that still gives you a memorable trip

11. Great tour guides celebrate your wins with you

A really great tour guide is invested in your trip. They want you to get the most out of the experience. And if it's an adventure trip with a set goal in mind, they want you to succeed in that!

Then, when you reach your mark, or push yourself beyond what you thought possible, a great tour guide is there to celebrate with you! They add to the victory moment by high-fiving you and generally making a fuss. 😄

Also, if you're a solo traveller, then it's especially wonderful to have another person there to make a noise about your win with you.

Tour guides are there to celebrate your achievements with you!

12. Great tour guides can even become friends

Sometimes, your tour guide adds so much to your trip, and you spend so much time together, that you end up becoming friends!

We cannot begin to tell you how many times this has happened on our trips. In their post-trip feedback, our clients often express not just gratitude for the encouragement and support of their guides, but also a genuine affection for these special people with whom they bonded and shared an incredible adventure.

One picture that perhaps best sums this up is this one below of Jack with one of his Kilimanjaro crew members at the end of the climb ...
