For the newcomers in 2024, this served as a chance to listen to some of the stories and gain an understanding of what they should anticipate. Perhaps even sharing a single beer together.

On the first day, we were all eager and ready to begin at 9 am. Following introductions by the office staff, we took our seats and commenced the program.

Continuing with Day 2 of the training.

We will begin by diving into the wonderful topic of the digital tachograph, which we are all naturally excited about!

The rest of the day will focus on administrative and organizational topics related to our work.

New tour guides will also be introduced to our digital database, where a lot of information about the tours is stored.

After lunch it's time for some best practice examples of the welcome briefing 

Today it is time to start working on our famous flip charts. Everybody channels their inner Picasso to make some proper artwork to get everybody excited for the tour that is about to start. 

at least in theory.. 

Today all tourguide and most of the staff got toegether to go over the upcoming new website and some other changes. 

in the eavening we had our yearly belated Christmas's party and we determined the rookie of the year as well as the 4 guides that got the 3rd, second and 1st place for tourguide of the year 

Unfortunately the final day of our tour guide training has come. But the positive news is that we have an introduction to the new BMW GS1300!

Not only does Edelweiss Bike Travel offer motorbike tours. Have you already checked out our E-bike program? We have tours all over the world, like in Morocco, Japan, and South-Africa! Ursula held a presentation and all the motorbike tour guides will are eager to do an E-bike tour

After several presentations we finally got into action during the first aid lessons. We were singing "Staying Alive" by the Bee-Gees while doing CPR. Everyone survived the course and the Tourguide Training!

See you next year!!
