tour guides
Museum walk narrators
Tour guides are people who lead visitors through places of interest—museums, historic sites, cities, natural landmarks—providing information and context along the way.
The role ranges from professional experts with deep subject knowledge to locals offering casual walking tours.
A good tour guide makes unfamiliar places accessible: Our tour guide knew every hidden alley in Venice.
The term also applies to printed or digital resources serving the same function.
