How to Find and Book a Tour Guide

Every destination on this site is a starting point for finding a knowledgeable local. Type a city, landmark, or country into the search box above to pull up the matching pages, then follow the links to see the tour types, typical prices, and best seasons for that place. If you are still deciding where to go, the destinations directory lays out every country and city we cover in one view.

Not sure which kind of guide you need? A private city walk, a museum specialist, and a full-day driver-guide each solve a different problem. Our explainer on what a tour guide does breaks down the main roles and what each usually costs, while our guide to the right guide for your trip matches families, solo travellers, and history buffs to the format that suits them.

Want someone close to where you already are? The tour guides near me tool ranks our destinations by distance using your device location, so you can line up a local guide for a day trip or a spontaneous afternoon. To weigh up formats first, browse the tour types — walking, food, museum, and small-group options — before you commit to one.

Once you have settled on a destination, the trip planner turns a shortlist of attractions into a day-by-day itinerary, and our travel guides cover the practical details: the best months to visit, how far ahead to book, and what to confirm with a guide before you pay.
