travel guide
Tourist information booklet
A travel guide is a book or pamphlet providing information about a destination—what to see, where to stay, how to get around.
The term also refers to a person who leads tours or accompanies travelers, offering local knowledge and commentary: Our travel guide showed us hidden spots the guidebooks missed.
I picked up a travel guide to Portugal before the trip.
