]]> Six Tips for Tour Guides tag:janeswalk.net,2010:forums/viewthread/.6 2010-02-22T20:09:37Z Emmy pantin Attached are some tips for leading a successful Jane’s Walk.

]]> Hey Tour Guide! Speak up! tag:janeswalk.net,2010:forums/viewthread/.5 2010-02-22T20:01:53Z Emmy pantin You’ve put in all this wonderful research and organizing into your tour, and it would be heartbreaking if the people who show up can’t hear what you are saying. Here’s some helpful information on how to be heard above the din or city streets.

This is what you’ve got to do – seriously consider renting, borrowing or buying an amplifier/microphone or megaphone. We’ve made it easy for you to ‘self-organize’ (a Jane Jacobs term we know and love) to get this done.
