Tour Guides are commonly employed by local governments and private tour companies to lead groups of visitors around various locations, which may be anywhere within driving range of the tour company’s office. They can work independently, or they can be employees of larger organizations and show visitors around a single site. Their job is to convey information about a location and assist visitors with taking in as many relevant points of interest as possible.
