The Advanced Certificate in Tour Guiding was a solid choice for me. I mean, I was a bit skeptical at first, but the course really delivered. The instructors were knowledgeable and the materials were pretty good. I liked how we got to learn about different types of tours, like food tours and adventure tours. It was cool to see how the concepts we learned in class could be applied in real-life situations. One thing that really stood out to me was the emphasis on customer service and how to handle difficult situations. It's definitely given me more confidence in my ability to lead tours and deal with unexpected issues. Overall, it was a good experience and I'm glad I took the course.
