Promoting Guiding with photographs of real tourist guides guiding. This is our President Sebastian’s wonderful brain wave!  So many promotion pictures are only of a site or landscape. These photos are only two dimensions. The Tourist Guide is the third dimension. We add the depth to anywhere we take guests. Rather than a stuffed dummy in a photo or a sidebar, the tourist guide is Guiding and this is the picture we need.
