touringA promotional video  (your friend in Rome is at 2.00′) and an interesting article about tour guides… a wonderful job, but not an easy one!

From the list of 10 major qualities you can read in the article we expecially believe in interaction and flexibility…a tour guide is not a teacher, but it’s someone helping you in understanding and appreciating the city, the site, the museum you are visiting…YOU are the leading actor, not the tour guide!

On top of that, the tour guide is a “local”, he (or she) is someone living in the city you are visiting, maybe he (or she) was born there and has experienced this place since his (or her) childhood, therefore is able to tell you how the city changed and “where it is going”…

The tour guide is a “percolator”, someone screening for you everything which might be interesting  in town, from the main attractions to the temporary exhibits, from the ice cream shop to the good music festivals: commercials always show the best side of everything, but we have tried them before you and we can tell what is worthing value and which is its reputation.

Trust us… a local nice tour guide can add a lot to your travel experience!
