Description

Creating tours that are interesting and educational for visitors (and guides!) is a challenge every historic site faces. Great Tours! helps to focus clearly on the material culture and significance of a site and then shows how to use that focus to train and motivate guides. The book shows how to manage tours to a fresh new level that is engaging and educational for visitors of all ages and abilities. Readings and workshop activities frame the process throughout and allow professionals to develop what is most appropriate for their site, while working to strike a realistic balance between ideals and every day reality. Great Tours! offers a unique combination of theoretical guidance and practical activities, supplemented by reproducible forms and a bibliography and index, that make it an invaluable resource for anyone involved with planning tours and training guides.
