Now that you have welcomed the group, it is time to put your tour preparation into action! If you are giving a public tour, you may have a disparate group of people, perhaps some families with children, tourists, or small groups of friends. You face the challenge of unifying that disparate group into a cohesive whole who feel comfortable sharing their thoughts with all.
Tip: Adult or multigenerational groups typically have no name tags, so spending a minute to introduce yourself by name and inviting the group to offer their names in a quick introduction starts to coalesce the group for your tour.
