Today’s sentence Hello, welcome back. Here’s something else you might want to ask while you’re in the tourist office. Could you tell me about guided tours of the city? Notes Guided tours. These are often popular with tourists. Someone (a guide) takes you around the city and shows you its important features. Sometimes they are on a bus with an open roof – you know the kind of thing, but sometimes they are on foot. These are sometimes called “walking tours.” They’ll probably give you some brochures on what’s available. If they don’t offer you any, you can ask “Do you have any brochures?” OK, don’t forget to listen to tomorrow’s sentence in the series on travel. Bye for now!
