SAMPLE TOUR GUIDING SCRIPT/COMMENTARY

Mabuhay! Are you all excited with our tour? I

can’t hear you, are you all excited? (YESS),
Ok, well me too, let us first do the head count
to know if we are complete, 1 2 3,…. 30. Ok,
we are complete. But before we begin, let me
first welcome you all in the beautiful province
WELCOMING TOURISTS of Cavite. On behalf of A Whole New World
Travel and Tour, I am “Gaea”, but you can call
me “G” for short. I am your official tour guide
for today who will give you 7,641 reasons to
smile. And with me is our very friendly coach
captain, Kuya Marco. Say “Hi” to Kuya
Marco. (Hi!) Great! We will be your
companions for the rest of the day. You can
always approach us if you need any help.
But before we proceed in our destination,
there are some friendly reminders and safety
precautions that I want you to know so that
our tour will be smooth flowing and hassle
free. So kindly keep in mind my reminders.

• First, synchronize your time with my time so

that no one will be left behind, the time with
PRE-ARRIVAL ACTIVITIES AND me is 08:00 AM.
REMINDERS • Second, for your own safety, watch your
steps and walk on designated areas only. In
case of emergency, I have a medical kit with
me, so don’t hesitate to ask me!
• Third, I have two flags here with me. If you
see me waiving ___ flag, it means that we
need to start walking. If you see me raising
this ___ flag, it means that I need your
attention so please gather around me.
• And lastly, observe a body-body system,
walk in pair so that no one will get lost.

So, we are about to start our very exciting

tour. But nothing would be possible without
the presence of the Almighty Father.
 Before we go on with our trip, may I request
everyone to bow your head and feel the
presence of the Lord.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and

of the Holy Spirit.

Lord, as we embark on this journey, may you

OPENING PRAYER bestow upon us your guiding hand and
enlightening spirit so that we would be able
to travel safely and be protected from harm
along the way. Bless every participant so that
he or she would be able to contribute
positively towards the completion of this trip.
May we realize that if we join our hand
together in your name, we can accomplish
anything. We pray also for those whom we
leave behind. May your Devine hands protect
them from all anxieties. May they be safe and
secure in your love, as we also are in our trip.
All this we ask in the mighty name of Jesus,
Amen.
