As a tour guide, you may have years of experience showing travelers around. You are probably familiar with popular as well as off-the-beaten spots in your destination. Your clients appreciate your passion in the face-to-face interaction. But how to attract potential clients to meet you in person? In other words, how to design an attractive sightseeing tour that travelers would choose. A modern tour guide needs to present well on the internet, thus encouraging potential clients to book your sightseeing tours.

Tip 1: Shout your specialty.

For your destination, there may be hundreds of thousands sightseeing tours available. Why should a traveler choose your tour rather than anyone else’s? Because the sightseeing tour with you is unique. Try to differentiate your tour and service. For instance, are you expert on local customs and tradition, so that the sightseeing will be more fun with local interaction? You can also design themed tours like tapas tour for food lovers, creative markets visit with style, witch tour in the night, movie tour at famous shots…Shout your expertise when designing a tour.

Tip 2: Photos are inspiring.

Visual images and videos are inspiring and welcomed by most travelers. Photos create direct impression of what to expect on a tour. Thanks to the fast technology development, video presentations are now quite achievable. High-quality and interesting photos sometimes “lure” people to visit a place. However, mind that you are encouraging people to come and visit with their own eyes. Do not over present, making feel a virtual tour is enough.

Tip 3: Detailed and clear introduction.

Clients can not book your sightseeing tour if basic information is missing. Good presentation attends to details. Give a clear and consistent introduction on tour length, what to see, sightseeing itinerary, tour inclusions and exclusions, maximum number of people in the group, special notice if any… It actually saves a tour guide’s efforts by clarifying things in advance.

Tip 4: Show your humor and wisdom!

Travel is about fun. In a sightseeing tour by a Zagreb local guide, “Exclusions: Bad tempered, no-sense of humor, it’s-just-another-tour local guides.” Isn’t it reassuring that this would be an interesting tour with a lot fun? For a personal/private tour guide, people choose you rather than merely a tour. Don’t be shy to show your own characteristics.

Tip 5: Listen to your clients and keep improving your sightseeing tours.

Feedback is great to have. It justifies the hard work of a tour guide. It passes on the words as testimonials. Moreover, it helps to improve. While afterward feedback may be less attainable, you can listen to your clients during the tour. See what they rose with interest. Can it be applied to the tour for a better experience? Keep improving and updating your sightseeing tour.

Happy Exploring!

Shows the most important sights in London

Traveling and sightseeing alone in a foreign country. Do you think that it is too dangerous and too lonely and is it better to be in a group tour? Which do you like better?

Previously know as Europass, Eurail travels through over 20 beautiful and scenic countries. With a list of destinations that includes France, Germany, Ireland, Greece, Italy and Spain; there are world famous sightseeing stops that are fairly obvious. Many travellers feel that a Eurail vacation would not be complete without stopping at sightseeing hotspots such as the Eiffel Tower in France, the Rhine River in Germany and the Acropolis in Greece.

These incredible sightseeing stops are a great start to a Eurail vacation. However, considering the amount of countries Eurail runs through, each with its own distinct history and landmarks, there are many great sightseeing stops that are overlooked. These nations are often traveled through by Eurail vacationers, but are certainly not explored to the extent that France and Germany are, for example. Eurail vacations offer sightseeing travel through Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern Europe. Throughout this impressive scope of cultures and countries, it’s understandable that certain sightseeing destinations get passed by. If you are considering a Eurail vacation and plan to do some sightseeing, take a look at some of the lesser-know sightseeing areas between visits to the Leaning Tower of Pisa or the Cliffs of Moher and Burren.

Bulgaria

This Eastern European nation rests pleasantly on the western side of the Black Sea. Its capitol, Sofia, features many parks, bars and clubs making it a fun place to stop. It also holds over 250 historical landmarks and culturally valued locations such as museums and theaters. While it may not be approached with the same enthusiasm as cities such as London and Venice, it is one of the most commonly visited locations in Bulgaria. Many areas of Bulgaria are absolutely beautiful but are less likely to be visited on many traditional Eurail trips through Europe. The mountainous terrain is accompanied by a wide array of physical traits, and make for a gorgeous and interesting trip as your train winds its ways through the many various landscapes found within the country. This diversity of landscape provides the best places to see in the county. The Black Sea beaches are wildly popular in the summer, and the many mountains provide great skiing. These factors combine with historical monuments to make Bulgaria an excellent place to visit in Europe on a Eurail vacation.

Portugal

Spain’s next door neighbor often gets overlooked by the many tourism powerhouses in its vicinity. Though smaller, Portugal offers many unique opportunities. Within an hour on a train one can travel from lush, green, vine covered mountains, to rocky, sloping mountains, to a terrain that is on the brink of being considered a desert, and finally end up at a sun filled strip of beach. There aren’t too many places where you can enjoy that much variety in just an hour. Eurail’s tracks through this beautiful nation wind along rivers and past the castles that dot the landscape. These natural wonders compliment historical locations older than Roman times and make the nation of Portugal a wonderful place to visit. A final point of attraction is the Portuguese wine economy that provides for many beautiful and fragrant environments. This small country is truly a stunning place to stay.

Slovenia

Picturesque and friendly nations in both Eastern and Western Europe are great places to enjoy sightseeing; however, an investigation of one of Europe’s centrally located gems should be included in any Eurail vacation as well. Slovenia is one nation that fits that mold. Set between the Alps, the Mediterranean and the Pannonian Plain this country is able to offer natural attractions such as mountains, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, forests, caves, hills, plains and even thermal springs. There is also the Mediterranean Sea, just in case everything else wasn’t enough. Slovenia is a paradise for those who enjoy the outdoors. There are also many small cities and villages throughout the landscape, and make interesting destinations for anybody seeking cultural experiences. Its capitol Ljubljana is known for its Baroque and Art Nouveau monuments, and provides many significant artistic and other attractions.

Finland

Finland can provide a true haven for tourists in Northern Europe. As a nation it is decidedly modern, with well planned cities and small towns. This makes the nation extremely accessible, and simplifies the travelling process greatly. That, however, is not the only aspect which makes Finland worth visiting; it just makes it much more attractive. Among the things to see in Finland are the northern lights in winter and the midnight sun in summer. The country stretches far enough North that these phenomena are possible to experience firsthand. Another major natural attraction is the nation’s many lakes. Boasting roughly 188,000 lakes, with plenty of corresponding islands, the country is a great place for people who enjoy water sports. It also offers vast expanses of nature outside of its modern cities that have been preserved. This combination of urban and wilderness make Finland a vibrant and diverse place to visit for any Eurail vacationer.

Sightseeing Tour in London der 10 Klasse Richard Wossidlo Gymnasiums 2009. Aufnahme: Daniel Seidel

London is a world class city that has a long and prosperous history. It is a city which is known for its entertainment and attractions, and is a mixture of both new and old. If you are looking for an older city which offers many sites and sounds, this is the city for you.

London is the capital city of the United Kingdom, and produces approximately 17% of the nation’s gross domestic product. It is a major political, business, and cultural city, and along with New York, Tokyo, and Paris, is a city of global proportions. Over 300 languages are spoken in the city, and residents are known as “Londoners.”

It was founded by the Romans around AD 43, and they called it “Londinium.” The language originally spoken in London was Latin with a nice blend of Greek. Since that time, it has become one of the largest cities in the European Union, with a population of over 7 million.

When it comes to tourism, London is a city which is great to travel to year round. Tourist attractions do not close their doors in winter, though summer is generally the best time to go. If you enjoy riding on boats, you can hire a boat and travel on the Serpentine near Hyde park for a couple of hours.

Cycling is great in London, though you may want to avoid riding with traffic. Cycling is excellent when riding through parks. If you enjoy horseback riding, you can have a taste of nobility by riding horses through Hyde park. Horses can be hired by the hour.

When it comes to hotels, if you’re looking for top of the line you could stay at the Blakes Hotel in South Kensington. If you’re on a budget, you may want to stay at the Hampstead Village Guesthouse, which is a nice Victorian house.

When traveling to this city, it is best to bring lots of money. London is known for being extremely expensive, and will put a drain on your bank account. If you stay at a hotel and eat meals in restaurants expect to spend at least 65 Euros a day.

All transactions can be made using credit cards or pounds. Most restaurants add a service charge to your bill, and those that don’t expect you to pay at least 10 to 15% tips. The same is true for taxi cab drivers. Travelers cheques can easily be changed into pounds at the many banks in the city.
