I found the Graduate Certificate in Tour Guiding (Advanced) to be a well-structured and informative course. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided useful insights into the industry. I appreciated the emphasis on practical skills, such as creating effective tour itineraries and managing group dynamics. The course materials were generally good, although some of the readings could be more up-to-date. One of the highlights of the course was the opportunity to work on a real-world project, where I had to develop a tour program for a fictional travel company. This exercise helped me apply theoretical concepts to a practical scenario. While there were some areas for improvement, overall I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others looking to enhance their tour guiding skills.
