When answering this question, it's important to demonstrate your ability to think on your feet and handle unexpected challenges effectively. Start by acknowledging that unexpected situations are a common part of the job. Provide a specific example from your past experience where you successfully managed an unexpected situation, such as a sudden change in weather or a transportation delay. Explain the steps you took to address the issue, including any contingency plans you had in place, how you communicated with the tourists, and the outcome of your actions. Emphasize your ability to stay calm, keep the group informed, and ensure their safety and enjoyment despite the challenges.
Example: "During one of my tours, we encountered an unexpected thunderstorm. I quickly gathered the group and moved them to a nearby indoor attraction that was not originally on our itinerary. I kept the group informed about the change in plans and provided additional information about the new location to keep them engaged. By having a contingency plan and staying calm, I was able to ensure the group's safety and maintain a positive experience for everyone."
