This final project report is written based on the job training which I undertook from 9 January until 10 February, 2012 at Mangkunegaran Palace, one of the palaces in Surakarta. The objectives of this final report are to explain the activities of job trainee as a tourist guide in Mangkunegaran Palace, to describe the roles of tourist guide in Mangkunegaran Palace, and to report the strengths and weaknesses of tourist guide in Mangkunegaran Palace. I focus this report on the roles of local tourist guide and their strengths and weaknesses. I expect this report can give clear understanding about the roles of local tourist guide in Mangkunegaran Palace. I conclude that local tourist guide has several roles that must be full-filled in handling tourists. Tourist guides have to know how to serve tourist to make them enjoy the tour. Tourist guides have to know all about tourist attraction (Mangkunegaran Palace) and have skill in handling tourists. Tourist guides in Mangkunegaran also have strenghts and weaknesses in guiding activity. I expect that the readers can get benefit from this final project report.
