"Indiscrete revelations of a tour guide" by Susan Howe. Susan Howe is a fully qualified London Tourist Blue Badge Guide who has also taken groups looking for tigers in India, painting groups to Zanzibar, and runs an award-winning country house hotel on the Devon coast. She will tell stories of difficult members of the group you would dearly love to leave behind, and how she escaped being eaten by a leopard.
