walking guide

Pedestrian tour leader

A walking guide is a person who leads others on foot through unfamiliar terrain, urban neighborhoods, or historic sites, providing commentary and direction along the way.

The term also refers to a book or pamphlet describing routes for walkers: We picked up a walking guide to the Lake District.

A walking guide may focus on nature trails, city architecture, or pub crawls.
