tour guide
Shows visitors around
A tour guide is a person who leads groups through places of interest, providing information and commentary along the way.
Tour guides work at museums, historic sites, cities, and natural landmarks.
The term applies both to professionals who do this as a job and to anyone temporarily filling the role: My cousin acted as our tour guide around Tokyo.
