Specifically in the sentence: “A guide asked us not to touch the exhibits
during the excursion”.

Do we use 〜て／でください as if we are saying “don’t touch this” or do we simply put
a negative form and then と + some introductory verb?

Like:

> 案内者は見学の時に陳列品を手で持たないと... etc.

And what verb should we use to say “she asked”? I guess neither 聞く nor 頼む will
be appropriate.

How to make requests not to do something in reported speech?
If the guide is explaining several things, I would say:  
作品に手を触れないようにと案内者は説明しました。

But if the guide is scolding you for having touched the exhibits, I would say:  
作品に手を触れないようにと案内者に注意されました。
