What Does a Tour Guide Do?
Tour guides lead groups of people on tours of a particular area or attraction. They provide information about the history, culture, and architecture of the place, and they answer questions from the group members.
Tour guides can work in a variety of settings, including:
* Museums
* Historical sites
* National parks
* Cities
* Cruise ships
How to Become a Tour Guide
There are no formal requirements to become a tour guide, but most employers will prefer candidates who have a bachelor's degree in history, art history, or a related field. Some employers may also require tour guides to have a certification from a tour guide association.
You can also gain experience by volunteering as a tour guide at a local museum or historical site. This will give you the opportunity to learn about the history of the place and to practice your public speaking skills.
