Rotorua Museum is starting a free 12-week training course for people who are interested in becoming a volunteer guide for Government Gardens tours.
"Outside the Walls" Walking Tours were created the day Rotorua Museum was forced to close in November 2016 due to earthquake damage, and quickly evolved into twice-daily
free tours of Government Gardens.
The tours have ensured stories about Rotorua's unique environment, people and the historic Bath House building continue to be shared.
More than 4000 people have taken tours to date.
The innovative and informative engagement led to recognition of the "Outside the Walls" Walking Tour Guides when they were named supreme winner at the Trustpower Rotorua Lakes Community Awards in 2017.
