Testimonials for Livingstone Tour Guide Academy
SusanneCape3 months agoPractical, Inspiring, and So Worth It!
I recently successfully completed the tour guiding course (Western Cape) at Livingstone Tourism Academy which was engaging, well-structured, and full of practical tips. The instructors’ passion for our history, natural resources and real-life examples made learning thoroughly enjoyable. I left with stronger storytelling skills, better group management techniques, and a deeper appreciation for the guide’s role. A huge thank you to Ronel, Jacques, Peter and Ernest. I loved every minute of it and I am looking forward to cover other regions through this college. Highly recommended!
