This Tour Guide's Reel, Shot In The Weirdest Way Possible, Is a Cinematic Masterclass

Not many of us take tour guides seriously when it comes to their video and photo suggestions. However, a video, currently going viral, might make you reconsider. The viral clip shows a tour guide going out of his way to take a cinematic video of a tourist group. The guide holds a phone and runs in a wide circle across the group. He holds the camera with both hands and maintains a high-speed run without tripping. At first, his process looks odd but the final video turns out to be a stunning shot, as if taken from a professional camera and setup.

An Instagram user Neha Yusuf shared this video on Instagram on June 8, where it got over 1.6 million likes. This now-viral video was taken in the mountains of Pakistan. The text on the video read, “We thought the tour guide was messing with us until we saw the video.” Many people praised the tour guide for keeping the video stable despite running and appreciated his dedication to going out of his way to take this special video.

Commenting on it an Instagram user wrote, “Man got skills. Who said we need a gimble and all those heavy accessories to capture frames? The guy told us there is no limit to the sky… Keep on upgrading and then just like these laughs tell people will judge you somehow you keep on giving your best.”

Another person commented on the video and photo-taking expertise of tour guides and wrote, “We have seen several tourist spots and come to understand that they know the best photography spots and they click better pics and videos than we do… And we just thought what would they click… on my last trip in Jan to Rajasthan my tour guide just clicked the pics of hardly all poses in 1 second each and I was like did he really click it the way I wanted but later as I saw all the pics they were all amazing.”

An Instagram user recalled one such tour guide and wrote, “We had the privilege of having such a tour guide during our trip to Kalimpong. I know Doma uncle you won’t be reading all this. But thank you for being such an awesome sport. Godspeed.”

Someone joked, “Bhai ko videographer banna tha, par family pressure ke wajah se tourist guide banna pda. (Brother wanted to be a videographer but had to become a tourist guide due to family pressure.)”
