Employees at top companies are mastering AI skills with the Workplace AI Institute
You know your city better than anyone, but between researching new tours, writing listings, answering booking questions, and managing reviews, you barely have time to actually give tours.
Tour guides wear every hat in the business. You are the researcher, the scriptwriter, the marketer, the booking agent, the customer service rep, and the performer, all before you even start walking. Creating a single new tour can take weeks of research, scripting, and test runs. Writing listing descriptions that actually convert takes another day. And then there are the emails, the review responses, the invoices, and the constant platform updates.
The guides who are growing their businesses right now are using AI to compress the research and admin work. They build new tour scripts in a fraction of the time, write listing descriptions that rank higher on booking platforms, and automate the follow-up messages that turn first-time guests into five-star reviews. They are not spending less time on their tours. They are spending less time on everything that isn't their tours.
This course teaches you how to use AI for every part of the tour guide business. You will learn to research and script tours faster, write descriptions that sell, manage client communications, and market your tours year-round. No tech background needed. If you can use a smartphone and a booking platform, you can do this.
