walking tour guide

Pedestrian history escort

A walking tour guide is a person who leads groups on foot through areas of interest—historic districts, neighborhoods, nature trails—providing commentary along the way.

The guide combines local knowledge with storytelling: Our walking tour guide knew every hidden courtyard in the old city.

The term also refers to printed or digital materials that direct self-guided exploration: I downloaded a walking tour guide to the French Quarter.
