Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone wants to visit New York at least once. The Big Apple is a global tourist destination with a dizzying array of attractions throughout the five boroughs. The only problem is figuring out where to start—and that’s where the city’s tour guides come in. These guides are a vital part of New York’s raucous sidewalk culture, and, as The Tour Guide reveals, the tours they offer are as fascinatingly diverse—and eccentric—as the city itself. Visitors can take tours that cover Manhattan before the arrival of European settlers, the nineteenth-century Irish gangs of Five Points, the culinary traditions of Queens, the culture of Harlem, or even the surveillance cameras of Chelsea—in short, there are tours to satisfy anyone’s curiosity about the city’s past or present. And the guides are as intriguing as the subjects, we learn, as Jonathan R. Wynn explores the lives of the people behind the tours, introducing us to office workers looking for a diversion from their desk jobs, unemployed actors honing their vocal skills, and struggling retirees searching for a second calling. Matching years of research with his own experiences as a guide, Wynn also lays bare the grueling process of acquiring an official license and offers a how-to guide to designing and leading a tour. Touching on the long history of tour-giving across the globe as well as the ups and downs of New York’s tour guide industry in the wake of 9/11, The Tour Guide is as informative and insightful as the chatty, charming, and colorful characters at its heart.

By providing travelers with good opportunities to have the trip of their dreams, the professional International Tour Director brings income in to a country and to the tourism business in general.

Book excerpt: Terezin guide, historian and writer Pavel Batel survived a violent childhood in communist Czechoslovakia. In the chaotic post-communist period he graduated from a military academy, and then entered the world of elite protection services, where he often had to save his clients from the kind of violence they were inflicting upon others. In surprising turns of events, Pavel discovered and identified with his Jewish roots during a visit to the Terezin concentration camp. This opened his eyes to the problems of ethnic bigotry, and he vowed to do his part in opposing the nationalist groups that were growing to prominence in the former eastern block countries in the 1990s. He truly makes the past come to life through his gift for storytelling. In the Tour Guide's Tale, Pavel tells the story of his past, and brings forth some of the most dramatic - and little known - historical events that played out in Terezin.The Tour Guide story is told as a personal awakening, with the use of fictional bridges to past times and places, and elements of magical realism to heighten the drama. It is the author's hope that this work will not only entertain readers, but will bring greater awareness of the threat that hatred and intolerance still pose to our societies. It has been recognized by Philosophical faculty of Charles university as an exceptional and unique work of art.

Book excerpt: Take a tour you'll never forget as you navigate the stunning vistas of gorgeous Ireland along with the hearts and minds of a cast of characters who will live with you, long after you've finished the last page. During a routine tour of Ireland, tour guide Conor O'Shea finds himself on a journey of his own through the lives of his hilarious companions as together they navigate both the Irish countryside and the secrets of their individual lives. A Wall Street banker, a divorcee, a musician, a cop, and a professor all enter Ireland with something on their minds, and throughout their journey with Conor as their guide, they each begin to show something of themselves against the spectacular backdrop of Ireland. As colourful and turbulent as an Irish hillside, The Tour offers more than just a look at one of the world's most beautiful places, but contrasts Ireland's open skyways and idyllic views against the secret lives of the individual. Witty, informative, and with a touch of romance, The Tour offers a unique look at the lives of others as they travel the Emerald Isle

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State of Alaska is endlessly in the national news--whether the news be political, adventurous, or simply a report on odd occurrences (of which our state seems to have an abundance). Director of the Tours is an attempt by the author to report on both humorous and touching stories relating to the more than one million visitors whom choose to visit Alaska aboard cruise ships each summer. Thirty-five stories concern the author’s interactions in unique situations during his ten years of leading guests on mostly five and six day land tours. These tours stretch from Seward, in South Central Alaska to the Alaska interior city of Fairbanks. Another 11 stories relate to events occurring in winter, when we tour directors are encouraged to jump on board any cruise ship (space available), anywhere in the world—and get a feel for what our guests get to experience on these luxury liners. The author hopes you will enjoy these stories.
