As far as I am aware, Tourist Guide Techniques have not previously been the subject of many manuals. I have decided, then, to offer the future tourist guides everything my long career in the tourism field has taught me about the technical aspects of guiding. This to help them to better understand their role as interpreters of what is observed and how to practise it efficiently. There is no such thing as a universal way in which to guide tourists since this art and profession derives its uniqueness from the spontaneity and individual charisma of each tourist guide. What is presented in this manual is a method based on assorted suggestions and procedures that will assist the tourist guides and establish a sound understanding of what they must know. This manual, therefore, does not intend to supply a set formula which must be followed slavishly, since that would inhibit the individual creativity which each tourist guide should possess. Instead, this manual provides a mean to better prepare them TECHNICALLY for their future tasks. [Author]

Guides are tourism professionals who lead their guests through the most interesting parts of their region. It is their task to engage visitors and to help interpret the sights that they visit. They please tourists by telling interesting but relevant narratives and respond in proactive ways to their complaints and requests.
