==Tour Guide Tips==
These tips came from the [[Penguin Times]] newspaper:
 
*Stop your tour group from getting lost by sending them a [[post card]]. It is an easy way to invite [[penguins]] to rooms you want them to visit, without them going missing on the way there.
 
*Try having a tour planned out ahead of time, so you know where you are going next!
 
*Make sure not to move too quickly for your tour group. Give them a chance to see everything and then let them follow you to the next room.
 
*The sign is your friend! Use your tour guide sign to show other [[penguins]] you are ready to show them around.
 
*Use phrases from the tour guide chat menu to help you describe a room. Just click the 'Message' button on the chat bar, highlight 'Activities', and press 'Give a tour'.
 
*Giving a tour is a great way to make penguins feel welcome. Why not offer to be your tour team's [[Club Penguin]] guru? Add them to your [[Buddy List]] so whenever they have a question, they can come to you!
 
*Why not plan your tour around a theme? You could take your group on a mystery tour of areas of [[Club Penguin]] they might not know about like the [[Underground]] or the [[Dojo]]. You could teach them some cool facts about [[Club Penguin History|''Club Penguin''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s history]] too!

Were you looking for a comic with a similar name?

The Tour Guide project began on January 26, 2007, with the intent of helping newcomers find their way around Club Penguin. To become a tour guide, a penguin must be at least 45 days old and have had no more than one ban (or sufficiently good behavior after a ban). Being a member is not required.

To apply, one goes to the Tour Booth in the Ski Village and takes a quiz. The eight-question quiz tests one's knowledge such as to where things are located, puffle facts, game play, and so forth. Answering seven out of the eight questions correctly wins a Tour Guide hat, which can be found in one's clothing inventory. Only those who have passed the test and have the hat are official tour guides. Tour Guides get paid 250 coins per month for doing their duties.

When a penguin only wears the Tour Guide hat and waves, a "tours here" sign appears. Another option while wearing the hat (with or without other items) is giving pre-written messages about the current room. To do this, one clicks the Messages icon, selects Activities, then clicks "Give a Tour". Messages about the room will then appear.
