You have two options.
If the guide had spoken more slowly...
If the guide had spoken slower...

Slow is an adjective, it refers to a noun
Slowly is an adverb, it refers to a verb
As far as I know, it would be "If the guide had spoken (more) slowly", because it refers to the verb "speak".
(I'm not a native speaker, just a opinion of a student)

<<If the guide had spoken more slowly>>
Better: "If the guide had spoken slowly" or, "If the guide had spoken slower"
'more' is redundant.

You need to use an adverb there. So it should be "MORE SLOWLY".
"Slow" is an adjective. You can use it like "a slow car", "a slower car", "a slower PC".
"Slowly" is an adverb. You can use it like "speak slowly", "speak more slowly", "eat slowly", "walk slowly", etc...
Hope I helped you.
