Running your tours
Running tours well is mostly about the boring parts done reliably: not being double-booked, protecting yourself against no-shows, and turning a good tour into a review that brings the next guest. These guides cover the day-to-day systems that keep a one-person tour business calm — the admin that happens around the tour, so the tour itself stays about the guiding.
