      Historical tour guide/ wine guide

      As a Historical Tour Guide, I taught a diverse group of tourists and students from many different cultures. Focusing on the historical sites in Rome and the Italian Peninsula, my main post was working in the Vatican Musuems, hosting special guests for the Swiss Guard. Organization of tour schedules, group travel, lodging, and marketing development were all essential elements to my duties. I worked with small private groups, large groups as many as 60 people, and VIP clients such as memebers of the US State Department and Dutch PMs. Show less
