They travel with a variety of sightseeing groups, relaying information on a given location, art piece or culture. Most importantly, Tour Guides present information with an air of first-hand knowledge and confidence.Although some secondary schooling is required or a degree in hospitality or history, it is more important for a Tour Guide to have strong, working knowledge of his or her tour focus. A solid memory and good communication skills are also needed to relay helpful anecdotes and respond to questions quickly and accurately.
