English for Tour Guides
Being a tour guide is a very important job. In many
cases, the tour guide is a traveller's first impression of a
foreign country. In other cases a tour guide may be
responsible for teaching tourists about the culture and
sites in a city or town. In addition, many tour guides
hold the responsibility of teaching tourists about
safety. Even if you are only responsible for taking a
tourist from the airport to his or her hotel, it is your
responsibility to make the short trip interesting,
informative, and safe. The following pages will help
you learn some important vocabulary and phrases that
you can use with your English-speaking tourists.
Check your understanding as you go.

Explaining Rules, Safety and
Etiquette

You are strictly forbidden from taking photographs
inside the museum.
Please stay on the marked path.
I'm sure this goes unsaid, but remember to place all
trash in the garbage bins.
Please pay attention to the time. We don't want to keep
the driver waiting.
Classes are in session, so we need to keep our voices
down.
The bus will be leaving at 5:00 pm sharp.
You'll have some free time to look around after lunch.
Please meet back here in one hour.

Explaining safety
Tour Guide

putting your arms out the window.
Please do not feed the animals.
Please remain seated until we come to a full stop.
Please stay with your group at all times.
Please keep to the sidewalk.

Ana Paula Lomonaco
Explaining etiquette and
customs
Tour Guide
It is customary in our country to tip the friendly bus
driver.
In this region we bow rather than shake hands during a
first meeting.
Though the all-inclusive includes tips for the servers, it
does not include tips for the bellboy.
To indicate that you want to get on or off the bus
simply wave your hand at the driver.

Sample Conversation
Guide:It's about a three minute ride up to the top of the mountain. As we pass the two towers the
gondolla may sway a little.
Man:This thing is safe, right?
Guide:Yes, you don't have anything to worry about. We do about 100 trips a day up the mountain, and
these tours have been going on for over ten years without any accidents. Keep your eyes open for wildlife
as we ascend. It isn't uncommon to see deer and even bears.
Woman:What's that mountain to the left called?
Guide:That's Mount Karen. And to the right of that with the three small points is Mount Brown. Now, if
you look up straight ahead, you should be able to see a large eagle's nest. Does everyone see it there?
Man:Are there any baby birds?
Guide:That's a good question. I haven't seen any yet, but we usually see them around this time of year.
Woman:What's that lake down there, to the right of the green meadow?
Guide:I'm glad you asked. That's John Lake. It's actually a man made pond that was built as part of a
conservation effort over twenty years ago. During the 70's there was a lot of clearcutting of forests in the
area, and much of the wildlife was lost. Since John Lake was built, ducks, swans, and geese have
returned to the area.
Man:Is this the highest mountain in this region?
Guide:No, actually, Mount Heather, which you we will be able to see in just a minute or so has the highest
peak. But, this is the highest mountain for recreational purposes like skiing and guided tours.
Woman:Can you ski throughout the year?
Guide:No, it warms up enough to actually suntan up there in the summer. Oh, look everyone. There are
two deer feeding in the clearing right below us.
Man:Thanks, that should be a great photo. So... what is there to do besides ski at the top of the hill at
this time of year?
Guide:Oh, there's plenty to do. We have horseback riding, snowmobile tours, and a petting zoo for
children. If you look to your left you'll see the snowmobile trail going through the mountain.

Ana Paula Lomonaco






Welcoming tourists:

Hello everyone. My name is Luca. On
behalf of Suntan Tours I'd like to
welcome you all to Los Cabos. The bus
ride to your hotel will take about fifteen
minutes. Right now I'd like to take a
minute to familiarize you with the area
and discuss some brief safety
precautions. Firstly, I ask that you
remain seated until we reach our
destination and that you not eat or
drink while on the bus. Secondly, please
realize that it is against the law to get
drunk in public. Enjoy your vacation,
but do drink responsibly and do not
drink and drive.

Ana Paula Lomonaco
Describing the location:
I promise you are going to enjoy your
stay here in San Jose, Los Cabos. This is a
beautiful, quiet city where you can relax,
sit by the beach, enjoy great meals and
feel very safe. You can walk into town
and enjoy the fountains or take a
moonlit walk along the water. Please do
not swim here. This is not a safe place to
swim because there is a strong
undertow. Cabos San Lucas is the place
to go if you want to enjoy swimming in
the ocean. You can take a short bus ride
from your hotel. There you will also
enjoy entertainment and dancing.
Ana Paula Lomonaco
Introducing special events and offers:
Suntan tours offers a variety of special
discounts depending on your travel
plans. We have golf packages, as well as
guided whale boat tours, and fishing
charters. There will be a short
information session at 1pm in the lobby
of the hotel tomorrow where you can
learn all about these offers. We
recommend that you do not purchase
packages from street vendors as they are
not always 100 percent reliable. They
also may charge you more than what
they say. Please take my advice and allow
Suntan tours to book all of your day trips
and activities while you are here.
Ana Paula Lomonaco
Offering advice:
If you need to exchange your dollars into
pesos, please use a bank or money
exchange. We don't recommend
exchanging your money at the hotel
because you won't get a fair rate. Some
restaurants will accept American or
Canadian money, but you are better off
to exchange your money and pay with
pesos. Or, if you prefer, you can always
use your credit cards. Also, if you want to
get around the city, or travel to Cabos
San Lucas, we recommend that you take
the local bus rather than a taxi. The bus
costs about one American dollar, and the
driver can give you change if you don't
have the exact amount. If you do decide
to take a taxi make sure that you
negotiate a price before you go.
Ana Paula Lomonaco
Closing remarks:
We're going to be pulling up to the hotel
in just a few minutes. Please sit back and
enjoy the view of the ocean on the left
hand side of the bus as we enter the city.
I ask that you remain in your seats until
we have come to a complete stop. Javier
will be meeting us at the bus to help you
with your bags. Please double check to
make sure your bag has been taken off
the bus. On behalf of Suntan Tours,
have a wonderful vacation in San Jose
and I hope to see you tomorrow at the
information session.

By Kenneth Beare
a = indefinite article (not a specific object, one of a
number of the same objects) with consonants
She has a dog.
I work in a factory.
an = indefinite article (not a specific object, one of a
number of the same objects) with vowels (a,e,i,o,u)
Can I have an apple?
She is an English teacher.
the = definite article (a specific object that both the
person speaking and the listener know)
The car over there is fast.
The teacher is very good, isn't he?

Ana Paula Lomonaco
Uses of 'Like'
'Like' can be used as a verb or as a preposition. There
are a number of common questions with 'like' that are
easy to confuse.
What's he like? - 'What like?' is used to ask about a
person's or object's character and is general in nature.
What does he like? - This use of the verb 'like' is for
general preferences. 'Like' as a verb is generally
followed by the 'ing' form of the verb (I like playing
tennis).
What does she look like? - 'Like' is used as a
preposition to express physical appearance. In this
case, 'like' can also mean 'similar to' if you are making
a comparison to other people.
What would you like to drink? - Another common
use of 'like' is in 'would like' to express wishes. Note
that 'would like' is followed by the infinite form of the
verb NOT the '-ing' form.

Ana Paula Lomonaco
Verbs Followed by the Gerund
or the Infinitive
Ana Paula Lomonaco
Verb + 'ing' OR Verb +
Infinitive
When two verbs are used together, the second verb is
often in the gerund form (-ing) or the infinitive. There
are no specific rules concerning which verbs take
which form. Like irregular verbs, you will need to learn
which form a verb takes.
Common Verbs + 'ing'
go
enjoy
quit
discuss
mind
can't stand
suggest

Examples:
They go jogging on Saturdays.
I don't mind helping you.
They can't stand driving in traffic jams.

Ana Paula Lomonaco
Common Verbs + Infinitive
promise
plan
refuse
want
need
decide
hope

Examples:
I promised to help him.
Alice needs to start that task.
He decided to quit his job.

Ana Paula Lomonaco
