Tour guide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Tour guide is a person who leads groups of people around a town, museum, or other tourist venue. The tour guide provides a commentary on the features and history of the location, the tours can be from as little as 10-15 minutes to extended periods over many days. Considerable importance is placed on the guide's knowledge of local stories, history and culture depending on the location of the tour
A guide who works at a particular location, such as a museum, may be called a docent and may provide entertaining, relevant, organized and themed Heritage interpretation. The role consists of leading groups of visitors around cultural, environmentally, or previously arranged attractions in significant places.
Tour Guides also lead groups as part of a package holiday into countries where they speak a different language, these guides act as interpretors for the group and as representatives of the holiday company. Importance is placed on the guides knowledge of the languages, travel documentation requirements and cultural differences.
