5 steps for a guide to create a new route
After you have specified the theme of your tour, selected price and prepared your speech – it’s time to plan your route. Because as everybody knows – presentation is the most important part of your excursion and without it your tour will be just a simple lecture. So what should you do to plan your new perfect route?
- Specify the list of the objects – according to the theme of your tour you should select the most unique and interesting for your travelers sightseeings, including historical objects, bridges, towers, architectural objects, museums, galleries, exhibitions, art monuments, archaeological and natural sights and so on.
- Choose the most significant places – we bet there are dozens of cool places in your city that you’d like to show to your foreign guests, but as your tour has a time limit, it’s not necessary to show all of them. About 10-12 different places of interest are quite enough for a 2-3 hours trip. While choosing, rely on their uniqueness, popularity, expressiveness and informative value.
- Plan the order – try to take into account the most convenient ways to reach the sightseeings, the best observation platforms for the beautiful views and try to avoid circling around as travelers love fresh impressions of the newly seen places.
- Check the route – before offering your travelers the new route – go and check it yourself: explore streets and squares, parking’s condition, pedestrian area’s location and so on. Make sure, that there’s a free access to all the sightseeings that you are planning to visit and outline the most comfortable places for tourists to stay at during your speech.
- Follow the timing – keep time and make sure that your new route manages in your planned excursion’s duration. Don’t forget you’re your tour has a time limit and you shouldn’t keep your tourists longer than they were promised.
