Ask Any Adventure Traveler – A Great Guide Makes A Great Trip | |
|
Follow the Leader
What makes a great tour guide? Travel around enough and you probably have your own criteria. A sense of humor is essential. The ability to juggle multiple tasks with endless energy, ease and competence ranks high as well. Local knowledge is a must and profound love and pride in his or her country is a wonderful trait that can make you feel welcome and at home in a distant land. A great guide wears many hats; a chauffeur, a repairman, an entertainer, a chef, an educator, a magician, lion tamer and if needed, a nurse. One thing is also for certain, a great guide has a dedicated following. We hear it all the time, "just tell me where (insert name) is guiding this season and that's where I want to go!" That's why it was no easy task when we asked each member company of Trusted Adventures to come up with their top candidate for guide of the year. The ballots are in and here is our list of the Greatest Guides. The trick now is getting a spot on one of the trips they'll be leading this year!
