Everyday, tour guides and tour leaders face the challenge of how to handle cultural differences.

It is our job to educate, entertain and inspire travels and allow them to appreciate different parts of the world. In many ways, we are cultural translators ourselves. We explain things that might be difficult to understand and point out things that travellers may otherwise miss.

The other side of the coin, however, is that we as guides and presenters, first have to bridge that intercultural gap ourselves. We need to make our guests feel comfortable, respect their boundaries and communicate in a way that doesn’t offend any of their unique sensibilities.

Not an easy task, and not one that you can get right all of the time. To help you with this sometimes daunting task, here are six tips to set you up for success when handling cultural differences on tour!
