This is Chapter 32 in the book 'Walking Tour Guiding - the ultimate handbook'.

In this episode I share suggestions for a structure for your walks.  This is purely a guide. You should test and experiment to work out what is best for you, your environment, your personality, theme of the walk, and of course your guests.

Often safely is not at the top of the preparation list, and only gets noticed when there is an accident.  I suggest you consider the safety of your walking tour before you even put it together.
