Guiding is not about showing the trail for tourists, nor only about identifying plants and animals. Guiding is about  showing the beauty of the nature around us in the most interesting and relevant manner for the specific group of tourists that we are guiding. And this is exactly what we are training guides to do. 

 

Since 2005 we trained hundreds of nature guides in different countries around the world. Many of the guides we trained continue to work with tourism, some even opened their own tour operators; while others, especially the environmental education guides, continued to work in conservation either in different NGOs or at government institutions. 

​

Our training programs focus on the following:

Custom-made: We train the guides in the sites where they work, preparing for them the specific guiding materials for the topics that they are likely to guide about.

Practical: The guides are practicing their guiding in the exact same places where they are most likely to guide. 

Didactics: The guides learn and practice different didactical techniques to improve their guiding.

Knowledge: The guides acquire relevant knowledge so they can explain about what they see, and not only identify or showing the trail.
