Tour Guide Talks

This show is about great tour guides. We are going to get to know them on another level and talk about the ups and downs of the tour guide profession, their passions, their quirks, and their love for the tour themes they host.
We will learn how some guides are historians, as others are history detectives, some can be philosophers that explain the unexplainable, some are social psychologists that can give you historical context so you can better understand why things are the way they are.
We are going to discuss why guides are more than just local facts. It's in a guide´s nature to be gregarious and inquisitive and always willing to help. That makes them great resources to hidden gems and recommendations. They have connections to where to find things, an be that translator when need be.
Above all, this podcast is about letting these great storytellers tell you their perspectives, strange interactions with guests, funny stories, and fact sand the secrets they want to share with you.
