sightseeing guides

Attraction tour conductors

Sightseeing guides are people who lead tourists through places of interest, providing commentary on history, architecture, and local culture.

The term also refers to books or pamphlets offering similar information for self-guided exploration: We picked up a sightseeing guide at the visitor center.

Tour guides, guidebooks, and travel apps all serve this function.
