Festival Talks Introduction by Álvaro Garza

Originally, I created Tour Guide Talks because I wanted to collect and share tour guide´s travel perspectives and 2nd I wanted to collect and share the tour guide´s bag of resources. I must tell you, these guides know where to find things, the best restaurants, the hidden treasures, great recommendations, and the directions to what you need to experience. Tour guides are great resources because they are deeply entrenched in their communities and are always looking for that golden nugget to share with their guests. AND they always know and have insights as to what festivals their guests should experience while in town.
Therefore, I decided to create Festival Talks because of the wealth of information these guides have for festivals being held in their surrounding communities. Tour guides will be reporting on the festivals, the festival´s history, what people do to celebrate the festival, the foods eaten, the festivities, concerts, and more importantly why you should join in if you happen to be traveling to that destination in the future.

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.
