 Not very useful November 4, 2004
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
Absolutely basic approach to tour guiding in this book can hardly give you any valuable knowledge of the profession! Obviously, the authors were unable to give us a more insightful and informative text on tour guiding as such, so they decided to fill their book with some other topics more or less irrelevant to the theme. The second half of the 'Tour Guiding Business' gives us an equally simplified approach to travel agent practice focusing on such topics as 'Making your business legal', 'Equipping your office' and 'Marketing a large tour operation'. Think twice before you decide that you need the book.
 Missing important details; basic business boilerplate January 21, 2002
39 out of 40 found this review helpful
This book was a disappointment. I found it to have several chapters of vague generalities and typical small business boilerplate that I don't want to pay for. It definitely does not give me the information I need to know to start a tour operator business. The most important example of it is it simply says nothing whatsoever about insurance and how to protect yourself from liability. That in itself should be an absolute condemnation of the book. The only reason I didn't give it 1 star is it says a bit about how to guide a tour, which someone might find slightly useful, but overall, the book is not worth buying.

This book gives an in-depth look at the tour guiding industry. The authors provide invaluable travel tips from behind the scenes. Included are checklists of travel items, examples, and an Appendix filled with useful travel organizations. Anyone who enjoys travelling and would like to make money doing it, should pick up this book.
