About the book
Real-life guiding, clearly explained
Published by the European Federation of Tourist Guide Associations (FEG), The Art of Guiding shares the wealth of experience of author Katrine Prince in a clear, accessible style, with real-life examples, helpful do’s and don’ts, and humorous illustrations.
The book covers essential aspects of professional guiding: from conducting walking tours and guiding at sites to handling challenging questions and managing nerves.
This e-book is not a replacement for face-to-face training, nor does it confer any qualification. But it is an excellent reference and source of inspiration for anyone committed to guiding with excellence.
The seeds of this handbook were sown in the South Pacific… They asked me to leave them with a Guiding Manual. And this became The Art of Guiding.Katrine Prince, author
