I am a tour guide. How to introduce yourself to tourists in an interesting way?

As a tour guide, you should not only tell about the scenic spots vividly, but also organize car activities. Usually in the process of traveling with a group, it takes two or three hours by car. What shall we talk about in these two or three hours? Some old tour guides will give lectures specially, but ordinary tour guides can't reach this level, and some tourists don't want to listen to too many explanations. What they need is fun, listening to jokes, singing and having fun.

I have seen many car activities organized by tour guides before. Generally speaking, tourists need to participate. There are indeed many tourists who are willing to sing, tell jokes and stories, as well as tourists who recite ancient poems. They are full of emotions and won warm applause. But more often, tourists don't want to come up, and the tour guide is invited down. But the guests just didn't come up, and the result was a bad ending. In fact, when you meet such guests, you don't have to have them all perform. A tour guide can sing "one-man show" by himself. Some tour guides find it difficult to sing a monologue, but it is not difficult. With the right method, they can sing well, just as stand-up crosstalk can speak well.

To sing a monologue well, a tour guide must master rich performance materials, and only when he has goods in his stomach can he cope with it calmly. Moreover, even if tourists are willing to participate in the activities, if the tour guide does not perform well, the interest of tourists will not be aroused. I remember once singing Huangmei Opera "Fairy Couple" with a tour group. Because the guests couldn't sing, I sang the roles of men and women myself, which made them admire. Immediately, a guest came up to perform the role of "King Flower" by himself, and the atmosphere came up. All the people have wonderful performances. On another occasion, a guest recited Su Shi's "Shuidiao Tou", which was full of sound and emotion. After the recitation, the whole group applauded warmly for a long time. Later, the tourists who came up are much better now, because everyone likes comparison and no one wants to be compared. I remember another trip to the northeast, and the car was covered with a large snowfield. A tourist sang an old song of the former Soviet Union called "Three Rickshaws": "The Volga River is covered with ice and snow, and three Rickshaws are running on the glacier ... Look at my poor old horse, who has accompanied me all over the world. What I hate is that money bought him and a tragic fate is waiting. " The rich songs floated on the snowfield, and my eyes filled with tears involuntarily, and everyone was deeply moved. This is the only time I was moved to tears by singing, and it was an oratorio without music accompaniment. Since the arrival of this tourist, every visitor has been full of feelings in singing, and he is not as confused as he was at the beginning. I also practiced a few songs after I went back, and I can sing them with emotion, because I know that the power of example is endless.

Speaking of singing, I think of a local companion of mine. Her background information is not too hard and her knowledge of history is weak, but every time tourists like her very much. Why? Because she knows what to vote for tourists. I remember when I took the first group with her, a tourist sang a famous Cantonese opera song "Queen Flower", and the whole car received excellent response. She asked the tourists if they liked this song best, and the tourists said, of course, it is a flower in our local culture. So she kept this sentence in mind. The next time I took a tour group, as soon as she received the Guangdong tour group, she said, "I can't speak Cantonese, but I can sing Cantonese songs. Do you want to hear it? " Everyone was surprised that a northern girl could sing Cantonese opera, so they cheered together. So she hung up her voice and enunciated a short passage of "Empress Dowager Cixi Flowers". Although she couldn't finish it, this short passage shocked four seats and aroused the friendliness of tourists. Later, the group had some problems in food, accommodation and transportation, but the tourists can forgive them because they like the company. Later I asked her how she could sing this Cantonese opera, and she said; Specially let a Guangdong tourist buy a tape and send it to her. She studied hard at the tape recorder for another month, and finally got this result. So be careful when you are a tour guide, and don't hum your favorite songs to fool tourists.

Besides singing, there are many programs such as telling jokes, guessing riddles, and brain teasers. Especially those awkward tourists, it is really difficult for them to sing. But if you say some riddles, brain teasers and so on. People who can guess are chatting noisily below, and the atmosphere comes up. It takes half an hour to carry out a series of such activities, 1 hour, and with the wonderful singing of several tour guides, it can be regarded as an activity in the car, and tourists will be satisfied.

In addition, telling stories is also a good choice. Stories are easy to recite and take a long time. A short story can be decorated for half an hour, and it will remind tourists of all kinds of strange stories. Time flies. Tourists in Guangdong like to "tell the story of the past", which is actually a short story. I will write it down every time, so that my explanation materials will be more and more abundant in the future.

For different tourists, the content of the performance needs to be different, such as singing. For older tourists, you can't sing the latest pop songs, because they have hardly heard them and don't know what you are humming. This performance is not good. Some young tour guides say they don't like and won't sing those old songs, but you should know that those who can join the tour group have certain financial strength, and most of them are middle-aged, so tour guides must learn some old songs. This is not a question of your hobby, but a question of work needs. In fact, learning a song, there is no need to study hard sentence by sentence. Take a tape and play it over and over again, and you will naturally learn it. Moreover, tour guides should buy more tapes of all kinds of songs, and play different tapes according to different types of tourists when driving, so as to be welcomed by tourists and listen to songs quietly. Secondly, the tour guide will learn these songs by the way.

Below I list two presentations of automobile activities, which I used during my tour. Different guests have different choices. You can draw inferences from others, choose different contents according to the characteristics of your tourists, and form your own wonderful speech.

1. Automobile activity demonstration lecture (student group)

This time we will drive for more than two hours. I just introduced the itinerary and scenic spots. Let's do some small activities in the next hour. First of all, my tour guide will tell you a few small programs. Then, please give a warm performance on stage. I have a mystery prize!

I know that today's students like to play rather than study, which reminds me of a joke. A student threw a coin into the air: "Look up to see a movie, play billiards on your back, and learn when the coin stands up." Is that what you are?

This learning attitude reminds me of an exam story: an invigilator is staring at a student throwing dice in confusion. Strangely … the students threw the same question several times … and asked the students why? The student replied helplessly: "The teacher said that every question should be checked."

Speaking of exams, I think of another joke: a class in a medical college had an oral exam, and the professor asked a student what the oral dose of a certain medicine was each time. The student replied, "5 grams." 1 minute later, he found that his answer was wrong. It should be 5 mg, so he quickly stood up and said, "Professor, allow me to correct it?" The professor looked at his watch and then said, "No, you died of an overdose 30 seconds ago."

Another joke about foreign languages goes like this: A mouse was driven into a dead end by a cat, and the mouse was forced to imitate the dog "Woof! Wang! " After barking twice, the cat was startled by the sudden barking of the dog. After the released mice came home, they immediately held a family meeting to tell their story of bravely defeating the enemy. Finally, he said with deep feelings, "How important it is to learn a foreign language, son!" "

It is difficult for us in China to learn foreign languages, and it is even more difficult for foreigners to learn Chinese, because Chinese characters have different meanings after rearrangement. A foreigner is trying to practice Chinese. Once, he walked into an elevator and saw a girl in it, so he decided to practice. He wants to say, how are you? But he doesn't remember. Finally, the words he choked up were: "OK?" The girl looked at him strangely and thought, does he know my mother? When he saw the girl's face was wrong, he thought he must have made a mistake, so he worked hard for a long time and said, "Hello, Mom." The girl raised her hand angrily and gave him a slap in the face. This is the consequence of not learning a foreign language well.

China students always say it is difficult to learn foreign languages, while foreigners say it is difficult to learn Chinese in our country. A foreigner once said, "Last night, watching the news, one station said that China had won the American team, and another station said that China had won the American team. Who won? Huh? China won all the games? How to say this! "

Another American student said, "I think you China people are very modest." "Why?" "In the street, I saw many big signs boasting about themselves, such as: China is good, China people are good, China agriculture is good ..." It turned out that he took "silver" as "very". Another foreigner came to China not long ago and learned a little Chinese. One day, he commented, "I find you China people are really hardworking." Asked why, he said, "Look, there are many signs hanging in the streets and lanes every morning, which say' Breakfast' in big letters. You see how hard they work, urging people walking in the street to get up early! "

After reading the above paragraph, some students couldn't help it, and they all had many interesting paragraphs to share with you. At this time, the tour guide can take the opportunity to hand over Mike. A good team will keep fighting, and you can't stop for an hour! But some students in the team can't talk very well, and no one can tell a few jokes, so they just rely on the tour guide to continue playing. )

After the joke, I'll give you some brain teasers! The worst dish-the sister of the same name who has been fired the most-the most expensive button for female workers-the most arrogant collar for kickbacks-the worst recipe for white-collar workers-a three-point bestseller-the most beloved animal of female secretaries-swallows.

Everyone guessed well. The students in our class are all very clever! Let me give you a little more:

A field of green grass. Name a flower. -Plum blossoms

Another meadow is still under the name of wild plum blossom.

Here comes a sheep. Give it a name. strawberry

Here comes another wolf, beating a kind of fruit. -Myrica rubra

Here comes another flock of sheep, fighting for a snack. -Hiroyuki

Let's guess this idiom:

7/8 (seven ups and downs)

L x l= 1 (unchanged)

2468 (coincidentally)

Charcoal (top-heavy)

A beautiful woman decided not to have children.

Women are always divorced.

Everyone has studied geography, and some students like to travel, so guess the place name. 、

Guess the provincial name first.

Thawing of rivers-Jiangsu

Newly demarcated national boundary (name of autonomous region)-Xinjiang

Ancient (name of autonomous region)-Inner Mongolia

Anchor and sail (name of municipality)-Shanghai

It's harder now. Let's guess the name of this city:

Gold, silver, copper and iron (Jiangsu place name)-Wuxi

Air ferry (name of famous city)-Tianjin

Warm season (provincial capital)-Changchun

The ditch is not shallow (Guangdong place name)-Shenzhen

Bon voyage (Liaoning place name)-Lushun

Banquet (Henan Place Name)-Kaifeng

Guess the country name again:

Red Crops-Danish Blue Crops-Netherlands

Let's talk about something relaxing. Let me tell you some jingles.

Everyone thinks that our tour guide work is quite easy, but there is a saying in our industry that tour guide work is like this:

Get up earlier than the chicken,

It's not just cows,

Eat more miscellaneous food than pigs,

Go to bed later than miss,

Earn less than migrant workers,

Better looking than anyone!

How's it going? Now you have a different understanding of tour guide work! The general activity has lasted for at least 40 minutes, and the tour guide has also performed, so we can stop here. But if the atmosphere is particularly good, or the journey is long, you can come again. )

I also have a tongue twister here. Let's see how our classmates speak Mandarin.

Forty-four stone lions (you can let them talk together, or you can let them try it alone with confidence to ensure laughter)

Almost an hour has passed here, and the rest of the time, if anyone wants to come up and perform, they will perform. If no one wants to come up, let everyone rest and don't ask. )

I have to recite jokes and these contents for hours, sometimes more than the background, which is quite hard, but there is no question of silence. Sometimes tourists listen to the tour guide very much, and when their emotions are aroused, they will interrupt and tell jokes. The tour guide will write down these jokes conveniently, and his database will be more and more abundant in the future.

2. Demonstration lecture on automobile activities (middle-aged cadre group)

This time we will drive for more than two hours. I just introduced the itinerary and scenic spots to you. Let's do some small activities in the next hour. First of all, my tour guide will tell you a few small programs. Then, I hope everyone will take part in the activity. Let me sing a song for you first. Just now, a tourist asked me where I came from, so I sang you a folk song from my hometown. Please guess where I come from! I'll send a song "Jasmine" first, and let everyone guess which province I'm from. (Singing) Now I'll send you another song. Guess which city I'm from! (singing the song of Mochou Lake).

There are many folk songs in our hometown. I'll sing another song, The Beauty of Taihu Lake, which I sang in Suzhou and Hangzhou dialect. Oh, the flavor of Jiangsu folk songs is complete! When I finish singing and see which tourist can understand the most sentences, I will have a prize! (Singing) I have finished my performance. Are there any tourists coming to sing two songs from my hometown? There are usually one or two people attending, and tourists should praise their hometown after singing. )

Let's guess some riddles of place names, and you can also submit the riddles about your hometown! You can say the first riddle above. Generally, when guessing riddles, tourists will also ask questions to the tour guide, and the atmosphere is very good. I can't guess many of these riddles. You are really great, but I have written them down. Next time a tourist gives it to me, I won't miss the answer. I want to thank you in advance.

Let me tell you some jokes. You are all leading cadres, so you must care about state affairs. Let me tell you a joke about the international situation first. Before the Persian Gulf War, a female liberator was in Kuwait. She found that Kuwaiti women habitually walked 5 meters behind their male companions. She published an article attacking the male chauvinism in Kuwait. Recently, when she returned to Kuwait, she found the man walking five meters behind the woman. She was very excited and asked a woman, "It's amazing. How did you women win the status of your? " Ms. Kuwait said, "Landmines." How happy we China women are!

You are all leaders. You often make reports and often listen to them. Let me tell two jokes about reporting. This is a joke that happened in the past and should not happen again now. It is said that there used to be a leader who gave a report at the staff meeting. Because the manuscript was written by the secretary, he studied very hard and everyone was sleepy. Suddenly, I heard a sentence in my ear: "... lesbians stand up ..." Everyone was very surprised. Suddenly a chair was dragged into the meeting place, and the women workers stood up at a loss ... Only the leader turned over the manuscript in his hand and continued to read: "...! "

There is another story that has the same effect. A leader read Chairman Mao's quotations: "People's correct thoughts fall from the sky!" Everyone was shocked. He turned over a page and was shocked. Then he read, "Really?"

Speaking of making a report, Mandarin is generally required now, so there are many jokes in it! The most famous thing is that in the report, he said, "government officials should refuse to speak Mandarin!" And "the government will refuse to accept the supervision of the National People's Congress". Why? In fact, what he said was "government officials should consciously speak Mandarin!" "The government should consciously accept the supervision of NPC!" Some leaders want to say "it is imperative", but everyone is saying "it is really impossible", which makes everyone puzzled.

Another time, a reporter called a minister, Ding Lingling! The minister picked up the phone and said, "Hello! Who are you? " Wang xing reporter said: "I forgot!" (Wang Ji) The minister said, "Hey? What? " Wang Ji thought someone else answered the phone and asked, "Who are you?" The minister said, "I just won't say it!" " "(Minister)

There is another story: one day, a young lady was walking on the road. Suddenly asked, I dropped my key on my belt. A man walking behind her picked it up and rushed forward and shouted, "Miss, you dropped your key, Miss, you dropped your key." But his Mandarin is so poor that the young lady turned her head angrily and scolded, "Go to hell!" " !

There is also a famous joke: a man went to visit his friend and went to the door to hear the following conversation: "Are there many dead people there?" Another person replied, "A lot! So many, there is no place to stand! " The first one went on to say, "Then I won't die first. If you want to die, you can die first. I won't die until there is a place. " I saw everyone laughing and understood what was going on. It turned out that they were discussing whether there was a place to take a bath, not a terrible murder.

Some of our tour guides have problems with Mandarin. A while ago, I heard a tour guide say, "Welcome to our place. As a local ruffian, I want to introduce our city to you. " The guests were stunned. Why does a local ruffian come to guide everyone? Later, I learned that he said "local escort"!

There is also a tour guide. She said that she would sing a song for tourists. This song is called Never Change, which surprised everyone. It was not until the end that she made it clear that what she said was "never change your mind". Speaking of Shamian Island in Guangzhou, she said that the imperialists fell in love with it as soon as they saw it, and the tourists were dumbfounded if they had to strengthen it. So what she said was to catch it.

There's one more powerful. He told the guests that there are many brothels in Guangdong, and a big salty word is written on the wall of each one. We're all scared. How can we say that? The guests looked at each other, wondering what he meant. Seeing that everyone had strange expressions, he tried his best to explain and finally figured it out. It turned out that he said, "There are many temples in Guangdong, and a big Zen word is written on every wall!"

Speaking of which, I see the tourists below are eager to try. I think they also have a lot of such jokes to tell us. I can't help it Come on, please tell us everything. Speaking of this topic, tourists are generally enthusiastic about participating, and you can hear all kinds of interesting stories. Of course, there are also speechless group guests, so it's up to the tour guide to find another topic. Most middle-aged people have families, so jokes about marriage and children are also suitable for them. There are also jokes with a little color, but don't go too far. Especially when the tour guide is a girl, if you say it yourself, the guests will be presumptuous to you, so pay attention to the jokes you choose. )

You are all over 40 years old, so you must have children. Children often make a lot of funny jokes. Let me say a few first, which can be regarded as attracting jade. If your child wants something better, don't be stingy to share it with us.

Xiaoming is a very young child. One night, he kept asking his mother to help him do this and that. Xiao Ming's mother was very angry and said angrily to Xiao Ming, don't call me mom again, or I won't recognize you. But Xiaoming really wants to drink water, but he can't call his mother, so Xiaoming timidly said, Mrs. Wang, please give me a glass of water. ...

Boy A: My brother was bitten by a mosquito yesterday and his whole finger was swollen!

Boy B: That's nothing strange! My uncle was stung by a bee last month and his whole foot swelled up!

Boy C: Then my sister doesn't know what stabbed her. Her whole stomach is swollen!

-Mom took Xiaolian to the concert. He is obviously interested in conducting. He followed the baton, watching the symphony orchestra for a while and the solo soprano for a while, trying to find out the relationship between them. Finally, he finally came to a conclusion and turned to his mother and said, "Mommy, why does the uncle in the middle keep scaring his aunt with a stick?" "no! Why did uncle scare her? " "Then why does she keep screaming?"

-Dad took his son to the circus. On the way back, his son said, "Dad, let me play the big bear in the circus." "Then what should I do?" "You played the uncle who played with the bear and kept stuffing delicious food into my mouth."

My son didn't want to sleep, so my father sat by his bed and began to tell him stories. An hour or two passed and the room was silent. Then mother opened the door and asked, "Is he asleep?" "He's asleep, Mom." The son whispered back.

Do tourists have many such experiences? Children really bring us a lot of trouble and fun. Does anyone have any interesting stories about children to share? (When people with children talk about "my children ……", that's the topic that they can't stop the car, so there is often a guest interface at this time, and sometimes it really can't stop! )

Let's talk about children before we get married. There are countless jokes about marriage! I remember such a joke:

When a newly married couple was about to get off the train, the bride said to the groom, "Dear, let others see that we have been married for a long time, ok?" "Well," said the groom, "then you walk behind me with the box."

Now you can guess how long you have been married just by looking at the walking state of the couples in the group. Tell you another joke:

-wife: "hey! How can a housewife always have endless housework? "

Husband: "Impossible! You don't agree with me to marry two. "

How's it going? This husband is quite powerful. Is there a better answer here?

Speaking of wanting to marry another one, it reminds me of a joke:

A Xiaohua told the school teacher, "Everyone in my family likes animals. Mother loves birds, eldest brother loves dogs, second brother loves horses, and younger sister loves goldfish. " "* Where's Dad?" "My father likes the fox next door."

Tracheitis (henpecked husband) is very popular now. A man said: If Columbus had a wife at home, he wouldn't have discovered America. The friend asked why? He replied, she would say, where have you been? What time are you coming back? Don't go out unless you make it clear!

Do your wives often ask you this question? Then you can tell her this story next time.

There is also a joke about being afraid of his wife:

-A young couple went out for a trip and rested in a place. In order to verify whether several men were "henpecked", the tour guide asked several men to stand together. Then he said, "Come if you are afraid of your wife!" Suddenly, almost all passed, and finally: only one person was still standing in the same place. Someone asked, "It seems that only you are not afraid of your wife." "No, I dare not move without my wife's permission." The man replied.

Speaking of being afraid of my wife, I also think of a story:

A friend asked a husband, "How does every quarrel between you and your wife end?" The husband replied, "Every time she kneels on the ground and climbs on me." The friend asked in surprise, "Really? Hard to imagine! " The husband said, "that's true, she said as she climbed, you coward, get out from under the bed!" " "

Speaking of the story of being afraid of my wife, I can't finish it for three days and three nights, but our drive is coming to an end and we have to go to tourist attractions. But don't worry, there will be a ride later, and I will tell you many jokes and stories!
