Can you maybe give him some responsibility during tours?

For example you could put him in charge of showing the family where the toys are kept or how you wash your hands. I'd see if maybe you can give him a list of "chores" or jobs that he can do during the tour so that he feels important and part of the tour.

In his eyes, he just sees his mom occupied by someone other than him and he is trying to get that attention back. Perhaps making him part of the tour process and/or responsible for parts of it will help him understand more what you are doing and what your expectations are of him during these tours.
