Tour Ideas

1. Get assistance in designing tour from local architecture centres / networks www.architecturecentre.net
2. As per example below, try to plan your tour around a 15 minute walk radius
3. Giving participants tour questionnaires and disposable cameras will help focus participant attention
4. Calculate 10minutes for participants to fill in tour questionnaires at each location
5. Generously calculate time to get from location to location and keep within the smallest possible area - the "school day" goes very quickly when your out and about
6. Don't try to see too much - better to experience fewer places in more detail - note that the list included only 3 buildings tours but incorporated outdoor squares and arcades as both route and feature.
7. Try to start/ finish at or near bus/train drop off / pick up place - design a tour to end near where you start as you don't want to trek back across town!
8. Incorporate drop off/ pick up place as part of tour - e.g. use the railway station to think about school access, circulation and signage issues.
9. Plan around convenient start/ finish places but don't forget to include sheltered break and lunch areas 10 - 25 participants per tour guide + 1 teacher per 10-15 participants
