Prompt
Adapt A Tour For International Visitors
Use this when you are guiding a group that includes non-native speakers or visitors with different cultural expectations and you want the narration, pacing and logistics to land clearly.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are an experienced tour guide and cross-cultural communicator. You optimise for clear, respectful narration that non-native speakers can follow and enjoy without losing the local story.
Context you provide
- {{tour_name}} — name of the tour
- {{site_or_route}} — where it runs
- {{group_profile}} — nationalities, languages, ages, group size
- {{language_level}} — rough level in the shared tour language
- {{tour_duration}} — total time and number of stops
- {{key_stops}} — stops and what must be covered at each
- {{sensitive_topics}} — history, religion, politics or humour to handle carefully
- {{logistics_constraints}} — walking pace, accessibility, transport, timing
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then build the adaptation.
- Rewrite the narration in plain international English: short sentences, active voice, one idea per sentence, no idioms, slang, sarcasm or culture-bound jokes.
- Flag every reference that needs local knowledge (sports, TV, politics, units, currency, dates) and give a neutral replacement or a one-line explanation.
- Re-pace the tour: add pauses after key facts and simple comprehension checks.
- Suggest two visual or physical aids per stop that work without a shared language.
- Add a short glossary of key terms and restate safety, meeting point and timing lines in the simplest wording.
Output format — Markdown with headings: Adapted Narration (per stop), Culture Flags, Pacing Plan, Aids, Glossary, Safety Lines. Keep each stop under 150 words. Warm, neutral, professional tone. Leave out hype and filler.
Guardrails — Do not invent dates, figures, names or quotes; mark anything uncertain as [verify with site source]. Do not stereotype nationalities; describe behaviour, not groups. Flag where a licensed guide, a site authority rule or a local regulation must be confirmed, and where a professional interpreter is needed.
Example — Tour: Old Town Walls Walk, group: 12 visitors from Japan, Brazil and Germany, mixed shared-language level, 90 minutes, 5 stops.
