travel guides
Tourist reference books
Travel guides are books, pamphlets, or digital resources providing practical information for visitors to a destination—where to stay, what to see, how to get around.
The term also refers to people who lead tourists through unfamiliar places, offering expertise and local knowledge: We hired a travel guide to show us the ruins.
The travel guide recommended a small hotel near the harbor.
