Much has been said about previous years of the activity carried out by different companies known as Free Tours. The main objective of these is to get tourists to know the place they visit in the most economical and attractive way possible. Many of these have been promoted by young people, who wish to have a job opportunity in relation to what who have studied and be able to put it into practice. It is a system that has spread across many countries, leading to multiple companies that are in the same city. As for the term free, it isused to that the visitor knows that they do not have to pay to make the reservation, which is usually made through the website. In this way, you keep track of the number of people who will participate in the tour.
The method is usually the same; stays with the visitors at aspecific point, and from there the tour takes place, and the duration ranges from one to a half or two hours.
It should be noted that the tourist is not obliged to give money, but usually always gives a symbolic price. Depending on where you visit, the average per person usually ranges from five to ten euros, although it varies depending on what you are willing to give at the end of the route, the guide is usually taken a photo with visitors and then uploaded them to the company'splatforms.
At the end of the routes is when the tips are given, in addition to informing them the tour guides who can rate them according to the degree of satisfaction on the different platforms available to them, such as Tripadvisor.
Tipping is the way in which these companies are financed, since they mostly do not have other institutions to give them financial aid it is common for those who work in such companies to be graduates and graduates in careers related to such work, such as History, Tourism and Art History.
It is not necessary when taking tours that have the official accreditation of a language, but it is usual that they are carried out in Spanish and English.
Our company, Córdoba Tips Tour, has two routes in Spanishand English, with morning and afternoon hours, although it varies depending on the season. The guide meets at the meeting point with the visitors, which goes with the T-shirt that has the company logo and umbrella, both in yellow.
The presentation and explanation of how we work and makes an introduction to the history of the city is carried out. Afterwards, the points of the tour are explained and at the end it is also requested that the questions that the tourist may have are said.Once finished, a photograph of the group is taken and thanked, apart from resolving any type of doubt related to the visit or other aspect.
We hope that it has helped you with the operation of the company, we want you to encourage you to carry out some of our routes.
