Simple, Relevant, Practical

Nick Mannings approach to being a tour guide is sensible and applicable. I am certain his instructions and suggestions would sharpen the skills of the most seasoned tour guide. The guidance is sound and easy to comprehend. I am now much more aware of the immense responsibility of and have increased respect for tour guides. Best of all, he makes being a tour guide sound like a really fun way to immerse in any community whether at home or elsewhere.

I chose this audio book because I am strongly considering being a tour guide as a part of my upcoming world tour experience. I love history and enjoy moving around the United States and abroad. HTBATG is so complete and thorough, I do not feel a need to search for other instructions (other than those provided by any respective employer).

Using Mannings techniques, I plan to practice being a tour guide in my current localeand then spread my wings and fly with it!

Mannings narration is fluid and natural. He is articulate, and also personable, leaving the listener with the feeling of having partaken in an engaging conversation.

This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review. Thank you Audiobook Boom.
