Tour Guide, Reykjavik, Iceland
| 1 mins read
If you're reading this article then most likely you're thinking of hiring a private guide to show you the sights and explain the things you'll be seeing along the way.
I've been a professional tourist guide since 1988 and still love my job. At first, when I started guiding, I never asked myself the question why people hire guides, nor did I realise what kind of valuable service guides provide.
In time, I came to realise that guides provide an incredibly valuable service to visitors. They show the way, explain what is there, and bridge cultures.
For those who want to make the most of their visit in a foreign country should absolutely hire a seasoned guide for several reasons.
1. You'll save time since you don't have to research the places and routes how to get there.
2. You'll see the best places with a local guide.
3. You'll learn a lot from a local expert on local history, geology and geography etc.
Safe travels...
