Almost every time I ve taken a trip that has a tour guide, I ve had a great time. For the most part, they are knowledgeable, engaging, and have a knack for creating a sense of wonder at various sights. The last tour guide who entertained us was this past summer in Seattle when we took The Ducks , a tour in one of those vehicles that can travel on land and on the water. Our guide started out dressed like a pirate and then changed hats and personas at different points along the 90-minute sweep through sections alaska airlines schedule of the city.
Okay, sure this may sound like the silliest tour in the world, but it was a blast. The guide knew a ton of stuff about Seattle that I may have missed otherwise. Plus, if you re with a group of fun people who are into having a good time, like we were, the world seems brighter. I m always interested in seeing where other travelers are from, as well.
During the tour, I wondered how much a Duck tour guide might make. According to an article on the worst jobs, probably not much. Tour guides are on the list as the least well-paid. That s one of the reason s why their job is lousy and one reason why it s important to remember to give a tip at the end of a tour. Now, I wish we had given more.
