Although we have done well preparation before, we still met some chanllenges during leading the tour and had some lessons from it.

Challenge 1: have to memorize lots of information

                   professional image may be spoiled if always look
                   at the cheat sheet

Lesson 1:    try our best to remember the important points and
                 response to the questions raised by our guests

Challenge 2: have to keep all the guests within one place at the
                   same time

                   some guests may want to buy some dried goods while
                   the others may want to leave the shop

Lesson 2:     introduce more about the goods that sell in the shop to
                  those who want to leave and try to keep them just
                  outside the shop but not to enter the next shop

Challenge 3: no fast-food shops/restaurants for our guests to buy
                   something to eat and no toilets along our route

Lesson 3:   suggest our guests to eat lunch first and ask them to go
                to toilets first when we first meet at the MTR station.
                 They can buy and eat some snacks from the shop in our
                 route if they have the needs.

Challenge 4: a bit tired if keep walking for 2 hours and 30 minutes

Lesson 4:  suggest our guests to wear comfort outfit and sportswear
               during the tour. Sunglasses and fan is also useful as this is
               a outdoor tour.
